[Stace]

set the soften brush to a much smaller size than you need, 1 mostly is still to big , and hardness to 100%, helps keep it inside it's borders a bit, but not that much, too (set it back for textures)

one other thing that sometimes helps though: after you just made one short softening click in landscape and then press ctrl-z, you'll notice how your one click mostly gets undone in not one, but several steps. this can be used to some degree.

A size smaller than 1 is not possible, i'm working with that already

[Trista Jim]

yep, i certainly wish this'd be more precise, too...

...don't use 1-brush to raise or lower land in the first place, gives you ugly edges when applied just a bit too much, and you'll often get better results with 2-brush raising and lowering back a bit than soften. also consider flatten instead (if your terrain is horizontal), seems a bit less erratic to me.

AND one thing that REALLY works miracles for landscaping - got access to a pressure sensitive digitizer pen, like the wacom tablets? use this. makes landscaping 341.2% (precisely, i scientifically measured that with brand new freshness formula) less pain i.t.a.

Hey folks.

Does anyone know if its possible to influence the current charge of a equipped enchanted weapon by using a script?

[Avril Churchill]

This has probably been asked before, therefore I'll ask here.

Instead of selecting "preview" when looking through statics for what I want, sometimes by accident I select "recalc bounds". It doesn't seem to do anything, but it sounds, I dunno, undesirable. I don't know how many times I've done that but I'm just wondering if it does actually do anything bad. And can it be undone.

[Mrs shelly Sugarplum]

what are you pushing to get preview?

is there a hotkey?

bounds are probbly roombounds, if you dont have them, it probably wont do much

[joannARRGH]

What script hurts player when you jump into blacksmith forge?

[yessenia hermosillo]

Opening the ck and looking at "blacksmith forge" would have given you the answer: BlacksmithForge01.

I have a question regarding the Change Location SM event:

If the player is walking through the wilderness, does a new Change Location event fire every time the player goes through a cell boundary? Or is the entire wilderness treated as one huge location?

You know, in the Object Window list.

Actors

Audio

Character

Items

Magic, etc etc...then Statics under World Objects.

When browsing through and selecting a static object like a wall or something to place in the world. If you right click on it you can you get selections of New, Edit, Duplicate, Delete, Preview. And directly under Preview there is Recalc Bounds. That's why I keep selecting it by accident, because it's directly under Preview which is what I want. I've hit delete which is above it by accident a few times as well, but thankfully it asks you if you're sure. Umm, NO!

[Zach Hunter]

wow! I had no idea you could preview things, awesome

[Damien Mulvenna]

I just started messing around with the creation kit today.. I want to make a follower mod for one of my friends as a joke and make a follower that is pretty much me lol Basically have my voice and taunt him with stupid responses etc to annoy him while hes playing..

I found a tutorial for doing this (making a custom voiced follower), well I found a few tutorials actually.

Some of them say NOT to make a New actor from scratch and to just copy an existing one and edit it because of a bug that can happen? and some say to just Make a New Actor and don't mention any bug.. I'm talking about when you right click in the object window and can select new.

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with any bugs relating to this?

I looked on the wiki and the only bug I seen listed under actor or follower creation was the Dark head bug which is not what I was worried about.

Thanks.

Anyone know what the script function/command is to point to the object that it is attached to?

[Sabrina garzotto]

Self

- Hypno

[ZANEY82]

Sweet.

[Steeeph]

Most of the time you don't even need to type that.

Instead of:

self.SetScale(0.2)

you just need to write:

SetScale(0.2)

The script will automatically do it to the thing it is attached to.

Personally I still write in the "self" just so I can see at a glance what's going on

[Greg Cavaliere]

Is their an "on added" similar script function for perks?

[Svenja Hedrich]

I don't think so. The same for spells, there is no OnSpellAdded() event.

Seeing as Actor.AddPerk() only actually works on the player, can you not just execute your OnAdded code at the same time as when you add the perk itself to the player?

- Hypno

[Damien Mulvenna]

Don't think so, using the perk tree to add the perk.

Just need to change a global when the perk is added.

[Darlene DIllow]

I havnt done anything with perks myself. But a quick glance of the wiki shows that you can add an Ability spell to it.

So make your own ability spell (hidden), with the magic effect doing nothing but running a script.

In this script (which must extend ActiveMagicEffect) you can do whatever you want in the OnEffectStart() and OnEffectFinish() events

A few questions...

1) Is there a way to teach a Word of Power without the drama? My Mod means the Player can (potentially) learn 60 Words at once (assuming they decide to use the cheaty-bit) and that's going to be a lot of music and words, and everything...

2) Does anyone know where the Furniture Dialogue for houses is triggered/added? I've looked at the purchase script, and hopefully I'm just being blind, but I can't see the switch to make the Stewards offer furniture.

3) Is there a way to make your Script run an even ONLY on reload?

Thanks for any answers

[Stephani Silva]

You can also accomplish this by adding a perk entry to your perk, clicking the "quest" radio button, and making the perk set a certain quest to a certain stage. Then all you need to do is add a script fragment to that quest stage that updates the global variable, it will update the variable when the perk is unlocked via the perk tree.

[Allison Sizemore]

If you use OnPlayerLoadGame() in a reference alias, it will not fire the first time the game is loaded (since the alias is not yet filled), but will fire every reload thereafter. Not sure if that's what you're looking for.

I'm not sure about the words of power, but I would recommend giving any of the spell-related functions a try (like actor.addSpell(), etc)--I have seen the spell functions manipulate other things that I wouldn't have expected them to (like enchantments), and I wouldn't be surprised if they also work for Words of power.

[Anne marie]

That sounds perfect for my needs

I just need a few things to run the first time the Player loads the game back up, and that should cover it perfectly

I'll try the spells, too

Thanks!

[P PoLlo]

Right you are.
