How to Post New OBSE Functions

Adding a new OBSE function to the wiki really just needs some cut and paste.

1. Bring up 3 web tabs

1. OBSE command documentation
2. An already added v14 function (i.e., CanCorpseCheck) - try to use one that's in the same function type category as the new function
3. The new page - you can get to the new page by copying the link for the v14 function (i.e., http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/CanCorpseCheck), and replacing the old function name with the new function name (i.e., http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/SetCorpseCheck)

2. Edit both function pages by pressing the Edit button above the dialog box
3. Copy everything (Ctrl-A followed by Ctrl-C) from the old function page and paste it on the new function page.
4. Find the new function in the OBSE commmand documentation such as

   SetCanCorpseCheck* - changes the Can Corpse Check flag on the actor
           (nothing) reference.SetCanCorpseCheck flag:short actor:ref

5. Copy the new definition over the old definition on the new wiki page. That is, replace
Returns 1 if the Can Corpse Check flag is set on the actor. with Changes the Can Corpse Check flag on the actor.
6. Replace the old function with the new function - replace
(canCoprseCheck:bool) ''reference''.CanCorpseCheck ''actor:ref'' with (nothing) reference.SetCanCorpseCheck flag:short actor:ref
• If there are any italics, make sure to add them to the wiki page with a pair of single quotes (i.e., ''reference'')
7. You can add an example if you'd like. Place it after the function.

'''Example'''
if Jauffre.CanCorpseCheck

8. Include any notes by adding this after the syntax (and example if you added it)
==Notes== *Can call on either the specific actor or the base object ID of the actor.
9. Change the See Also links to similar functions. The OBSE command documentation is the best guide for this - similar functions are usually grouped together. Make sure you use a * before each link.
• If there aren't any similar functions, just delete the section
==See Also== *[[Link]]
10. Place the function in the correct categories. At the bottom of the page you'll see something like

[[Category: Functions]]
[[Category: Functions (OBSE)]]
[[Category: Functions (OBSE v0014)]]
[[Category: Actor Value Functions]]
[[Category: Actor Value Functions (OBSE)]]

Change the bottom 2 categories to the appropriate category (and its OBSE counterpart). Here's a list of categories. Don't hesitate to add new categories, we could use a few more at this point.
