In many cases, the effect on performance of the graphics of an item is much greater than the effect of its script. | [[User:DragoonWraith|<font face="Oblivion,Daedric Runes" size=2>D</font>ragoon <font face="Oblivion,Daedric Runes" size=2>W</font>raith]] [[User_talk:DragoonWraith|<font face="Oblivion,Daedric" size=2>TALK</font>]] 21:37, 26 May 2007 (EDT): I think the line "do not depend on Disable to improve performance" is misleading.

:I agree. I've reworded the sentence to refer to savegame bloat. --[[User:Speedo|Speedo]] 19:12, 28 July 2008 (EDT) | |||
I'm having a problem getting the collision of an object to turn off. Is it possible that the Disable command does not disable the collision of an activator? I'm sure I am right that the collision is not turning off since I have an invisible capsule around the player and when it is supposed to be disabled, i am still stuck inside. My code basically puts the capsule there, then disables it a few frames later. There shouldn't be any problem unless there is a problem with Disable. Any thoughts?--[[User:Omzy|Omzy]] 17:50, 1 June 2007 (EDT) | I'm having a problem getting the collision of an object to turn off.

I've narrowed my problem down to something excruciatingly simple. I was wrong in assuming Disable was the problem, and now it is clear that Disable does deactivate collision on activators.--[[User:Omzy|Omzy]] 07:04, 2 June 2007 (EDT) | I've narrowed my problem down to something excruciatingly simple.

==Issues With Spells== | |||
Per the discussion started in [http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=863636 this thread] regarding disabling an object in the ScriptEffectStart block, and its effect on later blocks - I've done some testing. On a script which had a duration of 5 seconds and all three Start/Update/Finish blocks the results: | |||
'''Spell cast on NPC''' | |||
*NPC is disabled | |||
*Update block runs for 3 frames | |||
*Finish block runs | |||
'''Spell cast on container or door''' | |||
*Object is disabled | |||
*Update block runs for 2 frames | |||
*Finish block does not run | |||
'''Spell cast on NPC sitting in chair''' | |||
*The NPC is ''not'' disabled, spell script runs normally | |||
