Thanks Washington. I have no idea why the AI lock/unlock packages won't work. They work fine for me with houses using vanilla doors, but anything with a custom door mesh just seems to fail. I was thinking maybe the AI is somehow set up only to recognise certain door objects, so the shop owners don't unlock their internal room doors as well.

is there a way to import a face to an NPC?

As it got lost in the thread change-over...

. The result script runs on whoever's speaking the dialog.
. None - Except that the token can't be removed with a removeAllItems function call.



Hmmm .. I always wondered how that bit of the AI package worked. Must have something to do with the user's cell ownership ,I suppose, as it seems to detect what door to use automatically ( if at all ).


Wrye Bash has a function that does that, IIRC.


I thought I answered it ... Deadly Reflex 5 uses a similar activator system. Have a look at it's Activator-switcher script.

Hey!

Another quick one: is it possible to have stuff respawn regardless of the player's "visit" to that cell? I would mean a global modification, but something local would have advantages too. As an example, say the player has a few plants in his house. Since he visits it almost daily, those plants will never get to respawn. Besides, it's not really true to reality resetting the timer on each visit.

Cheers!

Use http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/ResetInterior. That will tag the cell to be reset on the player's next visit.

huh? really? i know i can use Wrye Bash to import a face to my own character, but i didn't think it could take the face of mine (or anothers) character and import it to an NPC...
are you sure, or did you read my post wrong?

Yes, Bash has this function. As a target for the face you can also use .esp files, which then creates a new NPC with the face you want. Usually called sgRaceaName## (Race is only three letters long. E.g. importing a Nord called Liranna will create an NPC named sgNoraLiranna00). If the NPC is of a custom race not present in the .esp, it will revert to Imperial. The face settings are identical, so simply changing the race will do the trick.

However the face is not yet on your NPC. For this you need to open the newly created NPC, go to the faces advanced tab, hit copy. Then go to your existing NPC, hit paste. After this you can delete the NPC Bash has created.

(Make sure to not forget to hit copy first. Otherwise it will crash the CS when hitting paste.)

Can you use variables from other scripts that are in your esp without making them globals? Like say I define var1 in one script, can another script access that variable somehow?

Yes, at least if the variable is in quest script...

scn MyQuestScriptshort done...

scn MyObjectScript...If MyQuest.done == 0	   do something	   set MyQuest.done to 1EndIf...

Thats awesome!

edit: I figured it out, thanks!

I'll have a look at that, thanks!

Are there any waterfalls in the Construction Set? Where are they and how are they placed?

You can do the same for any scriptable object. Just use . instead.


None, AFAIK. If it was there, it should most probably be listed under statics.

There are waterfalls if I'm not mistaken. Take a look near Charcoal Cave (roughly -11, 3 IIRC).

What a memory!! Yeap, there is a nice waterfall setup in cell CharcoalCaveExterior 8, 3
For some reason, they are activators.
Check under WorldObjects>>Activator>>Landscape

You are a godsend, thankyou

How can i change the default lighting for the exterior cells for a new world i have created?

I want to have a small exterior cave system, so i'd like to make the default lighting very dark, and use ambient lights to change the rest. Possible?

Amateur question: I've been whacked with the http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Glitches#Permanent_Enchantments glitch. Are there any console commands to remove these effects?

Climate and weather.

Imagine: HAve you tried RemoveSpell EnchantmentID already?

Hey!

As a reminder, I was trying to position a house in a UL, while it was made on Vanilla.






I tried it but without success. Actually, it can't work because if my mod loads first, and I save the changes in it, then the UL will override whatever I do since it loads afterwards. It might work if I had things "floating", but not if they're underground.

The way I see it, I have to either make a separate esp patch, or to load my mod after the UL (but that would make it incompatible with Vanilla).

Do you have any further suggestions?

Thank you!

I want to detect if player fights with blade, blunt or hand to hand.
I see that I can use getweapontype and getequippedobject for blade & blunt, but how to get hand to hand?

If you check for every wepon and it is none of them then it must be hand to hand.

http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/GetWeaponAnimType or http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/GetWeaponSkillType should do the trick, or?

Hmmm... I don't think so. But I found this: GetWeaponSkillType! Maybe that will do!

Bg2408: maybe, I'll check it out!
