I was wondering if there might be a way to have dead bodies dissapear after looted of everything, ala morrowind?

Yeah, you could probably script that. But its really not necessary since most dead things are cleared by the game engine after a few days game time.

The game only removes dead bodies when it respawns a cell. I want it to remove the bodies even if the cell never respawns.

You would have to put a script on every NPC and creature. Unless you want to go the FOSE route, there may be another way.

I wrote a script that makes an actor disappear x seconds after they die. Feel free to use or modify as you wish

scn RemoveCorpseSCRIPTfloat timershort ModeBegin onDeath	set timer to 300	 ; number of seconds before corpse disappears	set mode to 1	EndBegin GameMode	if timer >= 0		set timer to timer - GetSecondsPassed		return	endif	if Mode == 0		return	endif	if Mode == 1		ActorREF.disable	; same name as persistent reference ID for the actor disappearing.	endifEnd

Winter, I think that script would disable them instantly. You would have to make the first if 'if timer > 0' and then follow it in the next like with an 'elseif mode == 1' so if the timer = 0 it checks the others. That would set the timer to 300, the timer would do nothing at all. And it would disable the body instantly not matter what. >.>

Try it. I wrote this two days ago and it hasn't failed me yet. You have to place it on something you can kill though, like the actor you want to disappear.

Edit: Just tested it again to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. The enemy disappears 5 minutes after I've killed them.

Thank you. Now to edit every NPC and Mob in the game.

Oh ok. I guess I am being stupid and missed something. The way I see it, the second you set mode to 1, since its in a different if block as the timer, it should be true instantly, thus instantly deleting the body. But I am tired and probably looking at it all wrong. (But I hope eventually I will see the error, as scripting is my strong point. T.T)

@Kasdar - You want to affect every corpse in the world so it disappears after a set time? Maybe this script isn't such a good idea then, as I thought you'd only want to affect a few enemies in a specific area. I'm sure there is a game setting that determines how long a corpse remains before it disappears? Not sure how else you can change things on such a big scale sorry.

@Gunmaster95 - Oh I break things all the time, hopefully not this time but I have on countless occasions.

i think u can also create a simpel script that removes all corpses from 1 faction inside the cell think i did that in another mod when stage 1 was clear all bad guys and stage 2 allowed a different faction to enter the cell dont know if it is helpfull for u but might be an idea.
