While I am waiting for my internet to come back on.. so I can order a new computer... I have been making scripts and learning as much as I can (with a lot of help from other people).

So What I am asking is: Does anyone have a problem with scripts that I can try to fix? It would give me a lot more experience and I have lots of free time so it would be great if you could post with your scripting trouble (or PM me).

Thank you and I hope to see some scripts for me to work on!

PS: I should mention that if it requires a script extender in any way I won't be able to do it, not only do I not have any of them but even if I did get one I wouldn't know how to use them.

eh, simple script i could use to make one light switch with another light? (ie: i have to plants, one glows one doesnt, and i only want the glowing one to appear at night, and the none-glowing one appears during the day.)

keen?

Sure thing, I'll begin work immediately (shouldn't take me to long)

cool cool

I can try and simplify it if you want (will take me quite a bit longer though...)

Basically with this script you need to have the Unlit plant and the Lit plant placed in the CS in the same spot this means manually move them till it looks like one plant (simply for a realistic look so the plants don't seem to be jumping around when they switch).

Be sure to click References Persist on both of the plants!!!!

Then attach this script to a surrounding object that the player can't pick up.. maybe a rock? Or a ring placed under ground? Something like that. The object you attach the script to must be in the same cell as the plants.

This script will effect ALL of the two plants in the same cell as the item. This means if you place 16 pairs of Day and Night plants in the cell all of the pairs will rotate between the glowing one and the non glowing one every day/night.

Enjoy, comments, concerns, and constructive criticism all welcome and appreciated.

Tested and woks at full functionality if directions above are followed.

ok, cool, but there might be clipping with the 2 plants on the same spot..

thanks, added it to the plant now.

added to teh credits

There won't be any clipping because there will only be one plant visible at a time. Also remember don't add the script to either of the plants, you must add it to a separate object such as a rock or an object underground.

Glad you like it and thank you for the credits!

not a problem, i'll have some screens in a week (max+), and include some of the lights

Can't wait!

Anyone else need Morrowind scripting help, troubleshooting, etc.?

I think it's always better to attach the script to the item(s) that it's actually affecting. For instance in this case it would be better to have a script on each plant that uses "Enable" / "Disable" whenever certain conditions are met.
