So could I do something like :

string_var markershort numshort a1;a1 takes a valueset num to a1set marker to sv_Construct "UDUNmarker"let marker := marker + $nummarker.moveto player

Assuming "UDUNmarker" id part of the EditorID, the answer is NO, because only the CS know them. The game itself would not know what a UDUNmarker01 is.

But you could create an array with all your markers and use the array index

Let MyMarkers := ar_construct arrayLet MyMarkers[0] := UDUNmarker01Let MyMarkers[1] := UDUNmarker02Let MyMarkers[2] := UDUNmarker03Let MyMarkers[3] := UDUNmarker04

And then

let marker := MyMarkers[a1] marker.moveto player

at QQuix : how did you know I only had four ?

Thanks a lot

I do not really understand how is this different from the other one - is marker :

let marker := MyMarkers[a1]marker.moveto player

a string again or something else ??
in other words should I declare it like

ref marker

edit : and can this (the array defs (Let MyMarkers ....)) run to the top part of the string (in the variable definition section) - or must they be repeated in the gammode/menumode etc blocks ?

"Let MyMarkers[0] := UDUNmarker01" places the FormID of UDUNmarker01 in the array entry 0, the same way "Set MyRef to UDUNmarker01" places the FormID of the object in a ref variable. In both cases, the compiler translates " UDUNmarker01" into FormID 0xXXXXXXXX.

Yes, marker must be a ref var, so "let marker := MyMarkers[a1]" is the same as "Set marker to UDUNmarker01", but without the object being hardcoded in the script.

The array must be initialized only once, like in a typical DoOnce kind of IF at the beginning of the gamemode block.

:cake: :bowdown:

PS : I seem unable to accept the fact that variables cannot be initialized in Oblivion. I really forget this every other day.

If I am not exhausting you - is this correct :

If eval ((choice == numOfActivators*2 + 1) || (choice == 8))	set choosing to 0

y/n

??? Wouldn't it be variables must be initialized ?


Looks good.

thanks
I mean the doOnce thing (meaning an if check running every time) instead of

short num=3Let MyMarkers := ar_construct arrayLet MyMarkers[0] := UDUNmarker01

in the top part of the script
