I've hit a block and can't seem to get past it.

I'm trying to setup a Call function.

In the main script i have the following:

Call aaTimeKeeper refName

My function scipt is

scn aaTimeKeeperfloat Hasfloat Needfloat Timerstring_var refNameBegin Function { refName }	let Timer :=  0 ;aaioo01.HasReadFor[refName];	let Need := aaioo01.Thymaneded[refName]	label	set Timer to Timer + GetSecondsPassed ;	let aaioo01.HasReadFor[refName] := Timer	debugprint "inside goto loop: %0.f" Timer	if ( Timer >= 30 )   ;Need		Message "I have finished reading this book."  	else		goto	endif	debugprint " timekeeper function completed"end

If I leave the commented lines out, it seems to work. Mostly. Some stuff I need to figure out still.
But If I uncomment the lines and replace the integers with the vars, it doesn't work.
As far as I can determine, the string_var it not being passed to the function to validate the arrays.

I've even tried setting the vars in the main script then passing the values with

Call aaTimeKeeper Has Need

Obviously I don't understand and am mucking it up. Can someone explain or correct my script?
Also, notice in the middle of the goto loop, I'm trying to set the current value. This is to keep track if the player closes the book before the 'Need' value is reached. Will it work if the script is correct?

Thanks.

Don't know about the function, but doesn't the loop need a number assigned?

label

goto

They use pathgrid as it is, no need to alter anything. But if another mod changes pathgrid in same cell and loads after yours it will overwrite your changes.
Also if you delete vanilla stuff in your plug-in, use TES4Edit's Undelete & disable function to prevent bad things that could happen if another mod uses stuff you have deleted.

what does it print ?
add debug messages to be sure the vars are passed correctly/are not empty :

debugprint "refvar : %i" refvar ; in both scripts

never used (or understanded) GetSecondsPassed - does it reset ?
how does your script realize that the PC closed the book before Need has been reached ?

--Nevermind-- :hehe:

Hello all, I have a quick question that I'm having trouble finding an answer for; Why can't my custom NPC's travel through the Strange door in Niben Bay? This situation I have is a custom race character inside passwall, who picks up a custom sword and then tries to leave the fringe and deliver it to an NPC near the strange door in niben bay. I've also tried making the character from niben bay walk through the door into the fringe.

Right now I've tried Travel and Escort packages but they just stand at the door/portal and peer into it never entering. my npc from the fringe sometimes twitches at the door when he gets there.

edit: my guess is the scripts on the doors? does the code in here that switches the player from SEjails/crimes etc gut out the code that lets NPCs activate the door too? if so what would I have to replace?

edit edit: ok figured it out, all I needed was an

elseactivate

So I am using the Elys uncapper to allow all skills/attributes to progress to 200. As magic skills get higher (above 100) I have noticed that magicka costs for spells decreases to absurd costs (1-5 magicka for 500 damage 120 duration spells). As far as I can find the magicka cost formula is

ActualCost = BaseCost * ( fMagicCasterSkillCostBase + ( fMagicCasterSkillCostMult * ( 1 - ( Skill / 100 ) ) ) )

It seems to me that any magic school skill level of above 100 results in a negative number in this portion of the formula ( 1 - ( Skill / 100 ) ) ) ) and that when this is multiplied against the rest of the formula you will always receive a laughably small number. Does anyone know of a way to change this part of the formula? I have tried fiddling around with fMagicCasterSkillCostBase and fMagicCasterSkillCostMult, but I still always get that negative number in the last part of the formula. If anyone knows a mod that changes this formula or if it is even possible please let me know : ). I would really love to use the uncapper but the situation above essentially breaks spells in the game.

But is there anyway to turn off the sitting animations. Like the blue people that show the animations because they're very annoying :stare:

=D

I agree with you, but unless 'M' toggles them, I don't think so.

another question: I have some furniture created by someone else in my cell. But in game they don't show up.
I have the mod activated in game but they still don't show up. plz help

You have to either:

- duplicate the item and give it another editor ID (create new form --> YES)
- use Wrye Bash to 'esmify' .esp from which is furniture, load that mod and your mod, and 'espify' it back before playing to make it possible that your mod uses stuff from another (and you have to do that procedure every time before loading it in CS)

I'll have to try that thank you
:EDIT: It worked! thank you!
P.S. this thread is very helpful for a noob like me

Only if there is more than a single label.


I don't remember and I didn't save it I'll run it again and add the debugprint lines you suggest.
From Wiki:

As to your question about closing the book before the timer ends, that's what setting the var inside the goto loop is supposed to catch, I hope

thanks! i will try to remember the tes4 edit thingie when i get to the point im ready for it.

for the record, i did intend on moving a lot of vanilla dungeon entrances. im thinking about doin this by disabling the door link on the entrance in the tamriel world space. example- the cave entrances are basically a huge rock with a door on them. i could disable that door then place an even bigger rock on top of it to hide the original entrance. then place a new rock with a new door relinked to the interior matching cell in the location i want it to be. is there any reason this would not work?

in the instance when an npc has programming/quest to follow and needs to walk to the dungeon entrance, as long as pathgrids are properly in place would there be any problems?

to be more clear, the locations i plan to move the dungeons are actually located in a seperate world space which would greatly expand the wilderness between cities of vanilla oblivion. is there a trick to getting the npc's to follow proper pathgrids through the gate/door link between these world spaces?

as a visual aid to what i plan to do:

chorral city - added walls and gateway halfway to the imperial city with a door linked to - new world space (dungeons moved here) - gateway with door link to original tamriel near imperial city - imperial city

for even better visual aid ( i hope) i do have a very very rough map i drew in paint (im not so good with drawing with my mouse lol) that i can upload if i can ever figure out how to upload onto this site lol. or maybe i can send it to someone upon request.

thanks for your time! XD

Yet another question
How do i make a container not respawn. Like the clutter inside?

It has some check box, 'respawns' or similar. Uncheck it.
