OBSE's actually got a toggleFirstPerson function that lets you switch you to 3rd/1st person without such a check.

Does anybody know how to get into the gates at astral plane from the Midas Magic Mod?

I've the astral mark/recall spell. But if I go to the astral plane and I want to go through a gate a message pops up: you have to use mark first.
So I use mark chose one of the cathegories (ruby/topaz..) and try to go through a gate but nothing happens..

What am I doing wrong?

Oh, I couldn't find that on the wiki - my first port of call. Someone really needs to update that, I think it's now at least 3 versions behind. Thanks also

You do know that anyone can do that... go take a stab at it

Yeah, but I don't really know any of the functions! That's why I need it! :rolleyes:

Then take a look at http://obse.silverlock.org/obse_command_doc.html! It contains every single OBSE function, but none of the vanilla functions.

That bookmark is often more useful than the cs wiki :goodjob:

So here's one that's giving me no end of trouble.

Basic setup is, I'm setting up an indoor Oblivion gate to go to the seven random Oblivion planes. Since the gates in the planes are set to go to the Tamriel worldspace and I don't really want to touch them at all, I cloned the OblivionGateToTamriel door, set it to my destination cell, changed the mesh to a collision box, and set up a series of trigger zones to move them over top of the existing gates via SetPos when the player enters the plane.

All of this works without a hitch. I get to the plane fine, I can close them fine, the TZ works fine, the box moves to the right spot, but the game refuses to see it as a gate back out. Thought it might be the collision box mesh, swapped it out. No go. I've got it pointing to an XMarkerHeading appropriately.

Any ideas what might be at issue, here?

I'm having some trouble with some scripts I'm working on. What I'm trying to do is create a suit that will add a custom 50% Chameleon Ability spell while the Player is sneaking. I have a script that mostly works, but if the suit is removed while in sneak mod, the ability remains. So I've scripted the suit to add a token and scripted the token to add the Ability. The problem with this setup is that as soon as I exit the Inventory Screen after equipping the suit, I get a big ugly CTD. :banghead:

The script for the suit is:

scn VStealthSuitScriptBegin OnEquip Player Player.AddItem VStealthToken 1EndBegin OnUnEquip Player Player.RemoveItem VStealthToken 1 Player.RemoveSpell VChameleon50; added to make sure the spell is removedEnd

The script for the Token is:

scn VStealthTokenScriptBegin GameMode  If Player.GetEquipped VStealthSuit == 1	If player IsSneaking == 1	 Player.addspell VChameleon50	Elseif Player IsSneaking == 0	 Player.RemoveSpell VChameleon50	Endif  EndifEnd

I'm not sure what's causing the CTD. What would be the best (non OBSE) way to fix this? This is for part of http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1055275&hl= and I really don't want to make it OBSE dependent.

Shouldn't that be player.IsSneaking? Besides that, I can't see anything obvious.

Bump, still haven't found any answers about this.

Don't think there exists a function that does what you ask.

That was it! Thanks! I kept looking for something complicated so, of course, I overlooked something simple.

Hey shadeMe, I put this into the game and it worked perfectly!! Thank you so much for your help . But I have one problem now. Since it automatically removes all the potions starting with FF, it removes them even after they have been removed once and I've bought them back from the merchant. So is there a way to have this stop affecting potions after you buy them from the merchant?

How do you add leveled spells via script to an actor? neither additem nor addspell work.

The CS Wiki http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/AddSpell page has a pretty good workaround. The short answer is, you can't, really, unless OBSE does something I'm not aware of.

Use this bit :

short sAlMenubegin menuMode 1040   if ( sAlMenu == 0 )	  let sAlMenu := 1   endIfendbegin gameMode   if ( sAlMenu )	; the removal code	  let sAlMenu := 0   endIfend

That will call the code only after you exit the alchemy menu.

Just a small thing that I've been wondering for a while.

On the Quest Data tab, pretty much every vanilla quest has the quest condition 'GetIsPlayableRace == 1'. What for? Is it really necessary?

But won't that still remove potions that I have bought in a previous transaction? Like from the last time I brought up the alchemy menu?

Looks like I wasn't thinking very clearly. As a work around to the issue you brought forth, you can remove all the player's FF-indexed potions to a off-world container and add them back later.

short sAlMenubegin menuMode 1040   if ( sAlMenu == 0 )	  let sAlMenu := 1	  forEach aIterator <- player.getItems 40		   let rPot := aIterator[ "value" ]		   if eval (( getFormIDString rPot )[0:1] == "FF" )				let sNumItems := player.getItemCount rPot				player.removeItem rPot sNumItems				zzSomePersistentContainerRef.addItem rPot sNumItems		   endIf	  loop   endIfendbegin gameMode   if ( sAlMenu ); the removal code	  let sAlMenu := 0	  zzSomePersistentContainerRef.removeAllItems player   endIfend

Ahh good thinking, I will try that out once I'm able to wrap my head around the code lol. Thank you so much for your help

Would it be possible to merge the dlcs plus the unofficial patches for the dlcs into one single esp, or is this impossible without errors because of some copy protection or other thing?

There is no copy protection placed on the DLCs ( or any other plugins for that matter ). Merging them all together will render useless the mods that have the DLC(s) as their master(s) for one.

Is it possible to, say, take a dlc and merge in the equivilent unofficial official mods patch, then merge in the equivilent SM plugin refurbished esp, and after doing this for all the seperate dlc, merge the files together?

How to determine if an arrow is in the nocking process or if it is completely nocked?

My one thought is to start a timer when the attack button is pressed, compare this to the speed of the bow and use that to guess if the arrow has been nocked yet.

Anyone know of a simpler/cleaner way to do this? I was hoping that it would be an AnimationGroup but it is all just "AttackBow" Animation

thanks,
