::::OK, (far) more complicated than I wanted, but conceivable... you could use [[GetInSameCell]] with that. Definitely would have preferred to keep the activator in the script (i.e. set refVar to PlaceAtMe activator 1 0 0, refVar.Cast spell player, refVar.disable), now I have to actually script the activator to check if it's in the same cell as the player, no? Or do I just have to check the Persistant box? I'm not too familiar with the distinction between normal and Persistant references. --[[User:DragoonWraith|DragoonWraith]] 01:10, 23 May 2006 (EDT) | ::::OK, (far) more complicated than I wanted, but conceivable... you could use [[GetInSameCell]] with that.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to use this function. I have the following code:
if ( IsPlayerMovingIntoNewSpace == 1 ) set variable to 1 elseif ( variable == 1 ) ;do stuff endif
As far as I can tell, that should do something upon the load of a new cell - but as far as I can tell, it's not working... WTF? --DragoonWraith 22:17, 22 May 2006 (EDT)
- I wonder if it isn't a Condition function (only available in AI Conditionals) --Tegid 22:31, 22 May 2006 (EDT)
- The article would imply that... damn, how the hell are we supposed to know if the player has gone into a new cell?! --DragoonWraith 00:32, 23 May 2006 (EDT)
- Hmmm, what about leaving a persistent reference put as long as it is in your cell, if it is not in your cell, then you've moved to a new cell? Move it to you and then repeat? Can't we determine if an object is in the players cell? --Tegid 00:54, 23 May 2006 (EDT)
