Looking for scripts

Post » Thu Oct 21, 2010 9:09 am

I'm looking for a few scripts for my upcoming mods and I wonder if anyone can point me to a good scriptlibrary or help me write these scripts?

I need a scripts which will be added to the existing blight cloud activator script. It is supposed to only activate the activator during ash storms and keep it disabled in other weathers and completely disabled after the main quest (as the current script does). Check out the Kogoruhn Ruins mod for more info.

The other script is a little trickier. I'm going to make a rent able house where you need to pay each week to a specific person. When you are late in the payment after a certain number of days, a taxcollector (or hired thugs, haven't decided yet) will spawn infront of the door or inside the house.

I'd really owe the one who can help me with this.

i really don't know much about permissions, but princess stomper's homes to let is probably exactly what you're trying to do with the second one. there's probably a way to contact her through the http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=mods.detail&id=3408 but if not, most likely in the readme.

Thanks for the quick answers. I've tried Scripting for Dummies but I'll need to read a lot more before I'll be able to make anything from scratch.
I'll hear with princessstomper before I release anything from her work.
About the other script concerning the blightcloud.

Begin weather_scriptif ( GetDisabled == 0 )	if ( XXXXXXX )   anything else than ashstorm		Disable	endifelseif ( GetDisabled == 1 )	if ( weather==X )   ashstorm		Enable	endifendifEnd weather_script



would this work if I figured out how the two lines about the weather?

Heck, I didn't know about that second one either - though MWSFD is great, had that for awhile.
