My Script Samples[edit | edit source]

Distances and Angles[edit | edit source]

Notes and sample code related to distances and angles.

My Observations[edit | edit source]

(Miscellaneous observations of mine)

Game engine[edit | edit source]

It seems the engine does not load all world spaces when the game is loaded, so persistent objects in some world spaces are not loaded in memory as they are supposed to (maybe some persistent objects are more persistent than others. lol) [Oct/2008]

My Tests[edit | edit source]

On Dynamic Items and Savegame Bloating[edit | edit source]

Tests with Dynamic and Non-Dynamic items and their effect on savegame size

Dynamic and Non-dynamic references[edit | edit source]

Notes on general characteristics of Dynamic and Non-Dynamic references

GetLOS[edit | edit source]

This is a test mod used to get an understanding of how the GetLOS function really behaves ingame.

It is intended to modders/scripters interested in using the GetLOS function: it will give you a 'feeling' on where GetLOS starts returning 0

This mod contains a decent arrow-like projectile script, if you need one.

This mod was built to determine whether GetLOS is a reliable way to determine collision while moving objects around with SetPos.

And it is kind of fun for the first few minutes.

The mod is here: TES Nexus

There is a video here:YouTube

Moving Objects and Marker Rats[edit | edit source]

This mod contains a ‘generic’ approach to move Statics, Activators and Containers.

It includes a Marker Rat script that recovers from/prevents the following characteristics/limitations/bugs(?) of the game engine:

-Objects moved to an unloaded cell (never?/seldom?) show up when the player enters the cell -Objects moved to different world spaces snap back after save+load -The typical Marker Rat approach is not generic enough as, being an actor, it will fall to the ground, losing the Z axis info -It also (always?/sometimes?) snaps to a path grid node when the cell is reset.

It works both indoors and outdoors

It is intended to modders/scripters that need to move statics, activators and/or containers

The mod is here: TES Nexus

My Mods[edit | edit source]

QQuix Divine Elegance Showroom[edit | edit source]

This mod creates a showroom in Divine Elegance’s basement where live models will wear whatever Palonirya has for sale (Fashion Show style).

And Palonirya is so proud of her showroom that she decided to share it with all clothes and armor merchants in Cyrodill. ANY store.

This Mod is designed to show clothes and armor from any mod that adds them to one of the game shops. Even items/shops that will be created in the future.

WIP[edit | edit source]

QQuix Fly Away[edit | edit source]

I am writing a lot of complex scripts to make the PC and NPCs fly. This work is intended to the Dragon City Mod and, after the DC mod is released, I intend to add Creature and Object fights and release the whole thing as a Modder’s resource.

QQuix Sail Away[edit | edit source]

A modders resource set of scripts to move a ship along a pre-determined path.

-=Script code=
-==Distances and angles==
-(WIP)
-===Three angle systems===
-The game uses three angle ‘systems’:
-====World Angle====
-Range – 0-360  -  0 degrees is up, increasing clockwise up to 360.  (e.g: 90 = Right,  180 = Down, 270 = Left).
-This is the most common. It is the angle you find in the CS for Reference Rotation.
-This type of angle is returned by: [[GetAngle]] Z, [[GetStartingAngle]]
-This type of angle must be provided for: [[SetAngle]] Z
-====Heading Angle====
-Range – -180 to +180  -  0 degrees is up, increasing clockwise up to 180 and decreasing counterclockwise down to -180.  (e.g: 90 = Right,  180 = Down, -90 = Left, -180 = Down).
-This is used to tell how a second object is positioned in relation to a first object heading
-This type of angle is returned by: [[GetHeadingAngle]]
-====Trigonometric Angle====
-Range – 0 to 360  -  0 degrees is right, increasing counterclockwise up to 360.  (e.g: 90 = Up,  180 = Left, 270 = Down).
-This is the standard trigonometric angle system.
-This type of angle must be provided for OBSE trigonometric functions: [[Sin]], [[Cos]], [[Tan]], etc
-===Sample code (2D)===
-====DeltaX & DeltaY from Angle and distance ====
-Useful when positioning an object at a given distance and angle from another object
- ;=================================
- ; Get:  DeltaX and DeltaY
- ; From:	Angle and distance
- ;=================================
- set xAngle to xxx
- set xDistance to xxx
- if  xAngle <= 90
-   set xxTrigAngle  to 90 - xAngle
- else
-   set xxTrigAngle to 450 - xAngle
- endif
- set xDeltaX to xDistance * cos xxTrigAngle
- set xDeltaY to xDistance * sin xxTrigAngle
-==== Angle and distance from DeltaX & DeltaY ====
-Useful to calculate the horizontal (2D) distance between two objects or in situations where [[GetDistance]] is not reliable.
-Useful to calculate the heading angle in situations where [[GetHeadingAngle]] is not reliable (non-actors).
- ;=================================
- ; Get:  Angle and distance
- ; From: DeltaX and DeltaY
- ;=================================
- set xAngle to atan2 xDeltaX xDeltaY   	;	returns -180 to +180
- if xAngle  < 0
-   set xAngle to xAngle + 360   		;	convert to 0-360
- endif
- set xDistance to ( xDeltaX * xDeltaX ) + ( xDeltaY * xDeltaY )
- set xDistance to sqrt xDistance
-====Adding two angles ====
-Self explanatory
- ;=================================
- ; Get:  Angle
- ; From: Adding two angles
- ;=================================
- set xAngle to xAngleA + xAngleB
- if xAngle > 360
-   set xAngle to xAngle - 360
- endif
- if xAngle < 0
-   set xAngle to xAngle + 360
- endif

+===QQuix Sail Away===
-I enjoy figuring out how to do things with the CS script. For this reason, I rarely, if ever, look into existing scripts from other modders. So, I may be reinventing the wheel all the time and may not come out with the best solution, but it is a conscious decision to improve learning and enjoy what I like to do.
