er..sorry I mean I MAY have found a bug.

Something is wrong with GetPlayerSpell or with messagebox"%n"

set SpellLoaded to GetPlayerSpellif Spellloaded != 0messagebox"Doesn't work: %n"SpellLoadedendif

This will CTD everytime!


SpellLoaded is a REF

This is running in a quest script every .05 of a second.

Good eye. Wish i knew how to fix it so i could be more stable.

Not a bug actually, you are using the %n formatter with the normal MessageBox. You gotta use MessageBoxEx if you wanna use %n.

ok then there is an issue with GetPlayerSpell

I have the vanilla spell restore health in my casting slot but this:

set SpellLoaded to GetPlayerSpellif Spellloaded == 0message"working but ZERO"endifif Spellloaded != 0messageboxEX"Doesn't work: %n"SpellLoadedendif

ONLY returns the message"working but ZERO"

I hope they get it fixed soon. Many of my mods use that function...

You probably already know this, but just checking. You haven't removed the player selected spell right?

From CSWiki:

I have not removed any spells.

And the spell in the cast slot now (in my test game) IS the one the new player starts with.

So this command DOES in fact have a bug, OK that answers a lot of questions.

What does that look like in game?

This code works just fine (using OBSE 18 Beta 4)

ScriptName RenTestQuestScriptref SpellLoadedref SpellLoadedBaseBegin GameMode	set SpellLoaded to GetPlayerSpell	if (Spellloaded == 0)		Message "Current Spell: 0"	else;set SpellLoadedBase to SpellLoaded.GetBaseObject		MessageEX "Current Spell: %n" SpellLoaded	endifEnd

I can successfully get it to output the name of the currently selected spell (I tested RGO's Corpse Carry and the vanilla Voice of the Emperor spell and both were outputted via MessageEX). The only issue I had was that in order for it to work I had to pick out a new spell from the in-game menu (it would not work on a spell if it was currently selected at save - it seems like the variable that OBSE uses isn't set until the player selects a spell, but after that it works a treat).

That still makes it unusable, unless there is an easy way to force a selection of a spell on reload of a save game?

OR...or...maybe I can just LOG what spell is in the cast slot, then on a reload use THAT if (Spellloaded == 0)?
:hehe:

Thinking about this: Log the spell every half second? or ONCE on a menu?

mmm...I know once coming OUT of a menu back to the game mode!

Easy way would be to use SelectPlayerSpell and hold onto the ref returned by GetPlayerSpell. Use GetGameReloaded and just SelectPlayerSpell playerloadedspell or something like that.

ok, turns out that scrolls give this :

-NO NAME-

for SpellLoaded.

ALL scrolls!

But at least it gives me one "trick" to know if the spell is a scroll or not.
Still not going to help me in the way I wanted in my particular situation.

I am worried this is going to turn into a duplicate thread of my question on the Constructions set threads.

So I think I may ask the moderator to lock this now as my questions was answered (the OBSE command is not doing what I need it to right now).

Thanks Reneer and Critterman and everyone for clearing this up.
