Have a quick question? Need a quick answer? If you have not had any luck with the http://www.creationkit.com/Main_Page, post away and hopefully someone will have the answer(s) you seek.

[ILy- Forver]

ah, these. yes, this utility i think i need too

edit: this quotes ladyonthemoon btw, couldn't quote it over from the old thread

[ILy- Forver]

...and @ viktorgk, about your water question from the old thread, water direction is set in the water type, it's got an own tab for this.

(this is the VISIBLE water direction. CURRENTS are set on the water object's ref (from all i understood that is))

[Nathan Barker]

What's become of "copy and paste"?

[meg knight]

that's what i did actually - it just doesn't give me them neat "ladyonthemoon said" boxes...

[dean Cutler]

in an ActiveMagicEffect script, can i use an OnInit event to make stg happen whenever that effect is fired by a spell?

(i've seen OnMagicEffectApply, but that looks pretty suspicious to me (got close to none experience with magic effect scripts so far),

as i have no actors the effect actually applies to (it just starts some quests, adds and removes some spells etc)

edit: yes, this perfectly works. (somehow, there's far more quick questions than quick answers here

Any ideas on how to catch which item was enchanted when using an enchanting station? OnItemRemoved fires when the soul gem is removed, but OnItemAdded does not fire. I can catch the crafting/enchanting event just fine with Story Manager, but I need to remove the enchanted item from the player so I need to identify the item. I could do it via a huge amount of item specific quests and Story Manager, but I do not consider that to be a viable option.

[Roanne Bardsley]

Can I somehow remove the "Cleared" message from a map marker? Of some reason the map marker remains "Cleared" even if I delete it in the CK and make a new one the same place. Is this really hardcoded too as much else of the map marker editing?

[Chris Jones]

Did you change sCleared or sDungeonCleared (Game setting)?

[Dawn Farrell]

Nope, I didn't, but I don't know how to do that for one single map marker either.

[Jessica Phoenix]

Changing the game setting would most likely apply to all map markers. I'm not sure that it can be done on an individual marker basis.

[Albert Wesker]

Probably LocationProperty.http://www.creationkit.com/SetCleared_-_Location(false) would work.

[Bereket Fekadu]

in a reference aliasses script, does "self" point to the alias itself or to whatever it holds?

[megan gleeson]

Is there a way to re-snap./ realign the gizmo to an object?

sometimes my gizmo gets far away from my object, even after deselecting and selecting a few other things. its super frustrating trying to get things to line up sometimes, when I'm not using snape to grid.

plz. iluvu

[Rozlyn Robinson]

Is there a way to remove the collision from an wall object? i want the player to pass through a dead end wall to the other side.

really want them to pass through it as is, after meeting certain requirements.

Or any way for the player to go through it

[Cedric Pearson]

What's the syntax for a null condition?

If statement is true

;do this

Else

;nothing

EndIf

[!beef]

I'm not at my pc to check, but does player craft item pass the created object to the quest it starts, to fill an alias?

[Sarah MacLeod]

Resetting the rotation value in the reference window of the object might do that but there are some objects that are set so their "gizmo" helps putting them at a certain hight, wall shelves for example.

I think you must rework the mesh to achieve this.

[Sophie Payne]

Unfortunately not. I just checked it and the only event data offered to fill an alias is the workbench that was used.

[Sarah Bishop]

Hello Everyone! I was going to start a new thread but I don't think I'm able to do that yet since this is a new account. This seems like a proper place to do so. BTW how many posts do I need before I can make threads? Can't find that info anywhere.

Now on to my question. I hope someone can help.

Following the tutorial for the creation kit and making it to chapter 3, I have a basic understanding of scripting and its requirements.

I thought I'd try out one of the examples from the Creation Kit Wiki that it provides, the http://www.creationkit.com/Complete_Example_Scripts#Script_to_make_an_item_cast_a_spell to test it out and learn from it.

I've copied the contents of the script and followed the guidelines it provides below to get the script to work and I still can't get the

WeTempActivator from the hello world example to cast a spell on me when I go near it.

I've set the Zap property to an aimed spell such as sparks but it wouldn't fire it at me in game.

So I changed the default values of the xOffset and yOffset to a value of 10 each and still no results. I'm not quite sure what i'm doing wrong here.

Am I missing a property that needs adjustment?

And the name of the script is inline with what I have in the script code, so the conflict isn't there.

Spoiler

Scriptname HelloWorld extends ObjectReference

import Utility

Actor Property PlayerREF Auto

Float Property xOffset Auto ; Relative X position for the target

Float Property yOffset Auto ; Y Offset for Target

Float Property zOffset Auto ; Z offset for Target

Float Property RandomOffsetX Auto ; Randomness applied to X Offset. Initializes at 0.

Float Property RandomRate Auto ; Add random delay to pulse rate, capped at this value

Scriptname AceAddLeveledItemsScript Extends QuestLeveledItem Property LItemSpellTomes25AllIllusion AutoLeveledItem Property LItemSpellTomes50AllIllusion Auto;Level 25Book Property AceSpellTomeConceal Auto;Level 50Book Property AceSpellTomeCoward AutoEvent OnInit();Level 25	LItemSpellTomes25AllIllusion.AddForm(AceSpellTomeConceal,25,1);Level 50	LItemSpellTomes50AllIllusion.AddForm(AceSpellTomeCoward,50,1)	Debug.notification("Script Fired")EndEvent

This is set to run once. Will it add the spell tomes to the leveled lists once the correct level is met or will it add them depending on what level the PC is at the time of installing the mod?

EDIT: I think I've misunderstood the function. I changed it to add the items into the level 75(My illusion level is below that) leveled lists but it was added to the vendor instantly. Why is that?

So what I'm saying is I changed this:

LeveledItem Property LItemSpellTomes75AllIllusion Auto

LItemSpellTomes75AllIllusion.AddForm(AceSpellTomeCoward,1,1)

It seems that at level 62 illusion, I can purchase expert level illusion spells and that there wasn't a problem with my script. Just to clarify, is this normal?

As far as I know, you should be able to make new threads right from the get-go. I have seen plenty of threads started by single post laymen before. Maybe your account status just hasn't updated, but you should see a Start New Topic button just above the sticky list and on the right hand side on any forum page, right next to the Mark This Forum as Read button.

[Tiff Clark]

It is possible to use the "new variable[int n]" command to reset an array?
E.g.

float[] myarray = new float[2]
myarray[0] = 1
myarray[1] = 2

float[] myarray = new float[2]
debug.Notification(myarray[0]) -> Message: 0 or none

How can i connect the lever with the sawmill? There is no linked ref, no parent and no additional script in the riverwood sawmill, how does it work? How can i make mine work?

[Danii Brown]

The sawmill must be connected with the lever in the Activate Parents tab. A delay of 1.00 is fine for this purpose.

And then to my question:

Why can't I change the font size in a note? I use as they say on CreationKit.com but nothing happens in game. Can this really only be done with a downloaded writing system like Sublime Text Setup?
