== Lip Sync==
How can I get an ingame character to lyp sync to a voice file? I've seen it done before, for example in the senetile weapons modification. anyone know where the option for this is? (btw, I want to know cause Im trying to make a order for hobos to sing for money :D )

P.S. used the general edit function because I didnt find anywhere to add a question.
:[[User:DragoonWraith|<font face="Oblivion,Daedric Runes" size=3>D</font>ragoon <font face="Oblivion,Daedric" size=3>W</font>raith]] [[User_talk:DragoonWraith|<font face="Oblivion,Daedric" size=2>TALK</font>]] 15:58, 18 July 2006 (EDT): Can't help you, but just on Wiki in general - you did the right thing for this question, though usually you would put it at the bottom rather than the top (not a big problem). Also, sign your Talk posts with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>.
:[[User:pekka|pekka]] : This can be a bit tricky but not harder then anything else. I learned the hard way by making every mistake there is with voices and lipsync. Open the Dialogues or the Questwindow tab for Topics and make a topic. You add a NEW topic by rightclicking inside the addtopic window. Write the topic and click OK, open the Row of dialogue that you just created and now you can start recording. If you hit the button Customize, it is 4100Hz and 16 bit wave you create as that is the ONLY wave format that the lipsync are able to read as far as I know, and i tried many different. Keep CS up and use the free Sound editor Audacity from http://audacity.sourceforge.net/, load your wave file or just drop it at Audacity and adjust the volume. Left some space in both ends of your sentence too as you can mark and delete and fix lot of stuff at Audacity. Look at Audacity Preference so it saves it back as 16-bit Wave as well and now we will fool or trick CS.
:Export your WAV at Sounds\Voice\ as temp1.wav or whatever and you see temp.wav there already right? We cant overwrite it so open your file explorer and delete the temp.vaw or rename it as that is your origin recording and the one that CS want to use for the lipsync it seems. Now rename your edited temp1.wav --> temp.wav as that is the one we rellay want to use as we edited it. Now go CS and open that row of dialogue if you closed it. Mark the race and sex that should have the voice you just recorded, hit SAVE again and overwrite and then the button Create Lipsync and save again in case. I dont know if it is nescesary to save so many times but I do to be on the sure side.
:(Continues a day later). I forgot to mention that the wave MUST be converted to a MP3 , 44100Hz, 64kbit-rate to work in game. I have not managed to get the Audacity MP3 to work in game but I export the MP3 from Audacity and convert them with a free VMA/MP3 converter which you will find here: http://www.download.com/Free-Mp3-Wma-Converter/3000-2140_4-10505512.html?tag=lst-0-2

== 3rd Party Applications ==
How might I place script variables into a memory location and be able to access that memory address from outside the oblivion engine (with a external program)?
If that is not possible, is there documentation on any way to use 3rd party applications to extend the features in the oblivion game engine?
:While I'm sure this is possible, no one knows how, yet, on both counts. Sure too is that Bethesda will not help you. I'm also quite sure some people are working on it, considering the popularity of 3rd party apps for Morrowind. FPS Optimizer, MWSE, and MGE are possibilities that I think are pretty likely (the first for its popularity, the second and third because their authors are still active in the TES community, though they are currently working on other things). --[[User:DragoonWraith|DragoonWraith]] 11:10, 26 May 2006 (EDT)
== Actor's name? ==
Is there a way to get an actor's name? --[[User:nehon|nehon]]
:[[User:DragoonWraith|<font face="Oblivion,Daedric Runes" size=3>D</font>ragoon <font face="Oblivion,Daedric" size=3>W</font>raith]] [[User_talk:DragoonWraith|<font face="Oblivion,Daedric" size=2>TALK</font>]] 16:23, 17 July 2006 (EDT): You can [[SetActorFullName|set an actor's name]], and you can [[GetIsID|check it's ID]], but you can't simply "get" the actor's name. There may be a way to get the player's name, I'm not sure. Otherwise, though, no, you can't. For most uses, you can use IDs, because each ID will only have one name that you'll (usually) know beforehand.
:Of course, if you're trying to use this to find the name of characters from other mods, you're screwed. Sorry.
[[User:nehon|nehon]] : In fact i'm trying to make a scan spell that displays some of the targeted actor stats...and i would like to display his name first...but never mind. I will add it to the wish list. Thanks
== Creating a new Soul Gem Soul Class==
I was simply curious as to how one might be able to edit the size of Soul Gem Souls. The options available in th CS range from None to Grand. However, I have noticed that a max of 1600 points for enchanting your own items is far to little to make most want to truly do it. So, I would like to make larger sizes of souls available and attempt to scale them in rarity as well as needed souls within the game. Does anyone know how to edit these settings and create a new Soul size? -noexcusepunk
:I don't know of any way of creating new soul levels, but I know how to make the level worth more enchanting points.  Go into the game settings menu (found in the Gameplay Tab) and go to the setting "iSoulLevelValueGrand" and enter whatever numeric value you want grand soul gems to be.  You can also set the other soul levels too.  [[User:TheImperialDragon|TheImperialDragon]] 23:03, 7 June 2006 (EDT)
== Creating a designated area on normal ground to use Placeatme ==
I am working on a mod that will allow you to use one item to place another item on the ground in front of you.  Because of the way I am using this, I want to restrict this from happening anywhere but my deisgnated areas.  Designated areas will be a slightly normal looking piece of ground. 
Can anyone offer any insight on how I could script this?  If a player is on that ground then allow it, if they are not, give them a message? --[[User:Brainspackle|Brainspackle]] 13:02, 8 April 2006 (EDT)
Sadly, there's no programmatical way of restricting it to a specific terrain type (because there's no way for scripters to detect what kind of terrain the player is standing on).  You can, however, ensure that the player is within range of a specific object:
You would need a global variable (or quest variable), and two different scripts.  The first script would be attached to the object you want to use, and would set the global variable to 0, then check on the next frame to see if that global variable has been set to 1.  The second script would be attached to the range-checking objects, which would simply set the global variable to 1 if the PC was within range of them (using the [[GetDistance]] function).  If the variable remains zero, then the player isn't close enough to any of the range-checking objects, but if the variable is reset to 1 after being set to 0, then the player is close enough.  Then you would just place the range checking objects throughout the designated area, ensuring that all of the points in the designated area are covered within at least one range-checker's radius.
Another way is to use hard-coded coordinates, by ensuring the player's coordinates are within specific X and Y coordinates by using the [[GetPos]] function.  This is, of course, a lot less adaptable, but could be a lot easier if you just have one or two designated areas on the map.
People had the same problem in Morrowind, by the way. =)
--[[User:JT|JT]] 16:50, 27 May 2006 (EDT)
[[Omzy]]  You could create a script for a SubSpace that sets a script value to 1 if the player has his x,y coordinates in the square around the center of the subspace. This could provide a good CS visual for you. Just be careful not to make your SubSpaces interfere with other actor's SubSpaces. [[Omzy]]
==changing game settings by scripting==
Is there any way to change game settings (FPCbasemagickamult for instance) by scripts? '''User runegui'''
No.[[User:Talkie Toaster|Talkie Toaster]] 15:17, 19 June 2006 (EDT)
OBSE supports it. --[[User:GBHis|GBHis]] 06:11, 29 September 2006 (EDT)
==AI Handling==
How many different levels of AI handling are there? That is, the difference between how AI functions when the player is near the actor, far from the actor, waiting, fast travelling? What AI functions are allowed or not allowed depending on the level of AI handling? --[[User:DrGamut|DrGamut]]
[[Omzy]] This won't answer your question, but might help. There is an EvaluatePackage (evp) function that can be used at any time as long as the actor has a reference variable available. This is used to update the actor's actions from any script anywhere. Check out its usage in MS39 script (Nirnroot quest). The line is SinderionRef.evp. [[Omzy]]
==Custom Classes==
I've got a little question. Ever since I got the game, I've been obsessing over custom classes, as I did with Daggerfall.. and even Morrowind. But what has startled me this time is the string limiter for Custom Class names... It's set at 10. I couldn't clone the 'Witchhunte' class if I wanted to... let alone make a 'Necromance...' I realize that I could go into the CS and craft my Classes that way... but I'd rather know how to go into the CS and extend this string-limiter. If this is possible, will someone let me know? If not... expect a few new class mods, haha. [[User:Genesis999]]
==Bow Damage==
I'm wondering.. If i want to increase the damage that all bows do.. How would i do that?? I found a mod that was supposed to do that but i dont think it worked.. Any help would be great thanks [[User:Zsazoo]]
The most straightforward way to do this would be to edit every bow in the game manually to do increased damage.  Just open the CS and navigate to the weapons heading in your [[Object Window]] and look for all bows.  This is the sort of change that would very likely conflict with other mods, however, and because of that it may be better to create a new set of your increased damage bows and have a vendor sell them.  Of course, if you're not planning on distributing this mod, then I wouldn't worry about that too much. [[User:JBurgess|JBurgess]] 00:38, 9 April 2006 (EDT)
[[Omzy]] Not sure if this would work, but its an idea. For an actor, you could make a script that does this type of thing:
<pre>
ScriptName ActorScript
short charUsingBow
Begin OnPackageChange (Or other one-time condition like OnStartCombat)
    if GetWeaponSkillType 3  ;(Checks if actor is using marksman skill)
          Set charUsingBow to 1
    else
          Set charUsingBow to 0
    endif
End
short oldStrength
short strengthChanged
Begin GameMode
    if charUsingBow == 1
          Set oldStrength to GetActorValue strength
          SetActorValue strength (oldStrength + 50)
          Set strengthChanged to 1
    else
          if strengthChanged == 1
              SetActorValue strength (oldStrength)
              Set strengthChanged to 0
          endif
    endif
End </pre> [[Omzy]]
== Reset Cell ==
Is there a way to reset a cell using script other than waiting 3 days for it to autoreset?
--[[User:IMP|IMP]] 11:17, 3 April 2006
:RevertWorld may be the command you're looking for, but I haven't tested it yet. (That is, if it's anything like Reset Actors in MW[[User:Talkie Toaster|Talkie Toaster]] 15:53, 14 April 2006 (EDT)
::Try the [[ResetInterior]] command.  It may do what you're trying to do. [[User:TheImperialDragon|TheImperialDragon]] 17:58, 1 June 2006 (EDT)
== Blade & Blunt ==
My brother and I want to make a mod that would make Blade and Blunt weapons act differently.  Unfortunately, I can see no scripting functions which would aid in this and although I've checked the settings page a couple times, it seems that any useful variables affect both Blade and Blunt.  The only way I can think of at the moment would be to make enchantments and apply it to every Blade and Blunt weapon in the game, which would cause many other problems in the process. 
Is there any way around this?  Or if not, would it be possible to update the CS to advance its functionality?
--[[User:ZantarV|ZantarV]]
You can use [[GetWeaponSkillType]] to determine what type of weapon the player has equipped.
== Scripting Question ==
Hey, I didn't see any discussion or question page, so I guess I can ask this here.  I want to make it so if the player walks into a very large area, they will be given the option to go to a seperate worldspace and in that worldspace be at the exact same coordinates.  Is it possible to set variables to the player's X, Y, and Z coordinates, load a seperate worldspace, and set the player's coordinates to those variables?  If this is not possible, is it possible to do so over a very large area, like not with markers and things? [[User:Sload|Sload]] 18:25, 3 April 2006 (EDT)
Should work this way:
Scriptname GotoAnotherWorld
  float x
  float y
  float z
  float zRot
begin gamemode
  If WhatevverMustHappen == 1
    set x to player.getpos x
    set y to player.getpos y
    set z to player.getpos z
    set zRot to player.getangle z 
    player.PosWorld x, y, z, zRot,AnotherWorld
  endif
  end

== Inventory Reference ==
I've been looking all over the place but I can't seem to find any way to reference what is in the player's inventory without knowing the specific refs to begin with. As a compromise, is there a way to return the ref for what the player has equiped or is wielding? [[User:Skrath|Skrath]] 06:06, 4 April 2006 (EDT)
I have a similar problem.  I want to get the reference of an object dropped by the player/actor for a script for that same object.  The only way I can see doing this is by using GetSelf inside an onDrop block, but getSelf does not work on items that are placeable in inventory.  Is there another way to do this?
[[User:Teenk|Teenk]]
== Throwing items dealing damage. How? ==
I friend of mine have been thinking about a new spell or skill or just something that could be used to enhance the game. Like in HL2 they have the gravgun which enable you to throw items at your enemies at an incredible rate; dealing a lot of damage. And now he got this idea why not have some kind effect in Oblivion?
What I mean is being able to "throw" or "shot" items at the enemy and deal damage.
How can you make that posible? Do I have to start rewriting the havok script or is there premade options that enable any item to deal damage on creatures and characters when thrown? If i have to work with scripting can I copy the effect in HL2 havok system or can I use the same script that arrows use while shooting a bow or crossbow?
--[[User:AKH_Arazand|AKH|Arazand]]
Since traps (using physics) cause damage this probably shouldnt be a problem.[[User:Skjalg|Skjalg]]
: That is true but, I've already tried that it didn't work. The items simply fell to the ground dealing no damage what so ever. And to be able to use the trap function when ever and where ever by player characters this is my problem. Since throwing items deal no damage on NPC's and only traps do how can I make players able to turn items into traps with in the game it self making it them able to deal damage that way, anywhere at anytime.
:--[[User:AKH_Arazand|AKH|Arazand]]
--[[User:Omzy]]
Here's two alternative approaches you might toy with:
Make a spell that has a graphic of the item instead of a particle effect. Launch the spell at a quick speed so it doesn't look like the item is floating.
Make a weapon called "Throw Items" that simulates the effect of a Bow but has the graphic of a hand throwing instead of a bow being plucked. Make the items have the same ability as an arrow to be shot from this weapon and follow the same physics as an arrow.
How you would do either of these, I have no clue. By aspiring to this task, I assume you know more about scripting and physics engines than I do.

== Merging Plugins ==
Have you published any program which you can use to merge the different plugins you have? Isnt this necessary for a team of people who want to work on a mod together?
[[User:Gerrie|Gerrie]] 22:49, 4 April 2006 (EDT)
:Tes4's introduction of FormIds, while greatly improving mod stability, do so at a high price -- the ability to (easily) merge mods -- and even to communicate between mods.

== Twitching the soulgems ==
Hi everyone,
I was looking to change the enchantements created by the enchantment center, I've already boosted up the charge of the grand soulgem, the charge of a grand soul, I need yet to modify the enchantement automatically created. Nothing better than an example :
I have a grand soulgem charged at 2000 (instead of 1600), a grand soul charged at 170 (instead of 85) and i still can't create a fortify intelligence greater than 10.
I've tryed changing the enchantement called EnAppFortifyIntelligenceGrand but that didn't work.
And that's where I turn to you guys...
Dj23
:Try going into 'Gameplay->Magic Effects' each different effect has a 'Base Cost'          and a 'Constant Effect Enchantment Factor'.  Increasing either of these numbers will allow you to put higher enchantments on your items (it's pretty wierd that increasing the cost increases the amount of enchantment, you'd think it would be inversed).  'Base Cost' will affect spell making and casting as well.  Not really a tweak to the  soulgems but I think it does what you want? - [[User:Chair5768|Chair5768]]
'''The calculation for constant enchantments and its cost is:'''
Base Cost = Base Cost
CEEFactor = Constant Effect Enchantment Factor
SoulLevel = Level of the captured soul. Numeric value of 1 to 5
    Offset = fMagicCEEnchantMagOffset. A floating point gamesetting, by default 5.0
'''Effect Magnitude''' = (Base Cost * CEEFactor * SoulLevel) + Offset
'''Enchantment Cost''' = Effect magnitude * Barter Factor
''fMagicCEEnchantMagOffset'' applies to all constant effect enchantments you make.
Soul levels refer to the strenght of the soul. Petty Soul is level 1, Grand soul is level 5.
If you want to change the magnitude of the enchantments you should modify the ''Constant Effect Enchantment Factor'' only. Modifying ''Base Cost'' would also influence the casting cost of the spell.
--[[User:Cheerful|Cheerful]] 18:09, 13 September 2006 (EDT)
::How did you edit the attributes of the soul gem? I can't figure out how to change the amount it can be charged, or the charge of a single soul. i.e., you have a grand soul gem charged at 2000 and a grand soul at 170. How do I do that?
::Thanks!

At least, those are the places I'd look first for it.
'''Soul Gem capacity and maximum charge magnitude:'''
(xxxxx is just a placeholder here, and stands for Petty, Lesser,...etc.)
'''iSoulLevelValue'''xxxxx are integer gamesettings for the capacity of the gem.
 
'''fEnchant'''xxxxx'''Limit''' are floating point gamesettings,<br>standing for the maximum value of one charge of the Weapon.
Using default values this means:
If you have a Grand soul with a capacity of ''iSoulLevelValueGrand = 1600''
and ''fEnchantGrandLimit = 85'' then your weapon can have a maximum of 18 charges. Increasing ''iSoulLevelValuexxxxx'' would give you more charges, while increasing ''fEnchantxxxxxLimit'' would allow you stronger effects. <br>This settings have no influence on constant effect enchantments.

== Island house ==
Hi im working on my small island house/dungeon mod and since the island is so far out to sea i dont want to keep casting waterwalk or try to script a ring to tele me back and forward i was wondering how to create a fast travel point if anyone could help me on this it would sure be nice of you --(unattributed user)
:Easy!  Just place a MapMarker object on the island, rotate it to where you want the player to be facing when they Fast Travel there, then double-click on it.  This creates a new reference.  First of all, fill out your reference name (you will probably call it something like "[YourInitials][YourPlugin]MapMarker").  Then, under the tab that says "Marker Data", click the checkbox, and fill out the necessary data. --[[User:JT|JT]] 17:44, 27 May 2006 (EDT)
:Or, use "Jason1_Pirate Ship.esp" a mod which gives the player his own ship. I used it and really liked sailing around Tamriel. Also there's a rowing boat mod somewhere you could use. It would be more realistic for the PC to travel there physically, not teleport, give him a book or note telling him to navigate by the stars and moons (where are Masser and Secunda in relation to your island.  Plus, how does he get back? Use a boat.  [[User:WaerLoga|WaerLoga]]  24 June (EDT)
::Um, if there was a fast travel point on the island, which is how he got there, then one would assume he'd use another fast travel point to get back. ;-)  There ''would'' be the problem that the mod would assume that players had fast travel enabled (I have it disabled, for instance), but that would be better fixed by adding some kind of scripted teleportation than a reliance on a third-party mod. =) --[[User:JT|JT]] 23:13, 31 July 2006 (EDT)
== Cleaning up a plug-in ==
Seems to me there is no way to delete any of the objects you create. I've made a lot of stuff for my mod that isn't used anymore and I would like to get rid of it. Also, I somehow accidently modified some of the horses, so now my mod is not compatible with Call Steed + Saddlebags. How can I fix this?
-- Answer --
Open TES:CS, then when you're selecting your mod in the data file list, click details.  Go and find the reference that you no longer want to be associated with your mod.  Select it, and press delete.  Accept the box saying it will be ignored.  Now go into your mod, make any change to any aspect so you can save it, then save.  The Ignored reference will no longer be part of your mod.

== A not animated moving gate ==
I've been trying to make a gate, that would move when activated. So I've come across a problem. My question is, can "MoveTo" be used in this manner:
mySelf.MoveTo mySelf, 1, 0, 0
This should move the activator(the gate) 1 point into the positive direction of vector X. But it doesn't. Any clues, anyone?
--[[User:Lenko|Lenko]] 09:01, 7 April 2006 (EDT)
Ok I've tried alot, and since nothing worked I presume that static objects/activators cannot be moved with a script. However the player and most likely other actors can be moved with this command. (Not sure about the items)

== Skill checking script ==
I'd like to create a script that triggers some actions when a player casts a certain spell depending on that players "something" skill level. I have tried some things but none seemed to work, any suggestions? Maybe I haven't been using the good script type so tell me what you think... Thank you in advance.
Ex: When a player would cast a custom made power-type spell there would be a text message depending on his sneak skill level and wouldn't be able to have the spell take effect if his skill level is below 95.

==Render Window Broken==
So I'm  working on my first dungeon after doing some spells and when I attempt to drag and drop pieces of the dungeon kit, nothing shows up. This could have something to do with the fact that the render window seems to be blank (grey background), and does not seem to have a render space loaded. Anyone know a fix for this?

Have you made a new cell, and loaded it? When the cell is loaded, the background is black, grey means it's not loaded. --[[User:Lenko|Lenko]] 08:16, 9 April 2006 (EDT)
Okay well what I do is this: I start up the CS, load the Oblivion.esm, found a random dungeon cell and duplicated it, renamed it and deleted all of the objects out of it and I think this is where the problem is because I can find a created cell, and load objects from that cell and they work.

:--[[User:Kkuhlmann|Kkuhlmann]] 08:38, 10 April 2006 (EDT): That's not how you get an NPC to sit. You can't set the value of a function -- GetSetting is a function that tells you whether the NPC is sitting or not. You can't use it to make the actor do anything. You need to create a package targeting a chair to get an NPC to sit in it (there are a number of ways that will work: Find or Travel targeting a specific (persistent) chair is probably the simplest).
== Exterior Cell Location ==
I'm making a new city, and I made a new exterior cell, and it ends up beside a ruin, so when I flattened the land to make the city, it flattened the land beside the ruin totally messing it up, the thing is, I can't see the city from outside the walls. Basically there are 2 questions here
1.How do I choose the location of an exterior cell?
-and-
2.How do I fix the affected cells?
[[User:Treleth|Treleth]] 00:04, 10 April 2006 (EDT)
-[[Omzy]]
For the first question, You shouldn't create new exterior cells. Instead, modify existing exterior cells so that you know exactly where everything will be in the game. How do you select an exterior cell to modify? Go into the game and turn the console options that tell you your coordinate location and find a spot on the map that only has trees or bare landscape. Then go into the CS and find the Wilderness (x, y) cell depending on the coordinates you found in game and use that one. For the second question, well I think the first answer says it all. Just reload the Oblivion.esm in the CS and modify the existing cell to make it flat (do not mess with the edges of the cell). Somehow you're gonna need to transport your city from the old cell to the new one. Good luck figuring that one out =P
:I don't think such drastic measures are required. I would advise using a walled city gate to link to your cell, put the exterior wall & city gate right up against Tamriel border so's player can't walk around the city, so you'll only have to do the front, then put the cell you built somewhere not in Tamriel World map, but linked to it via the city gate you placed against border. Look at "Pale Pass Fort" or the Painted Dream World, in Construction Set; they're exterior cells not in Tamriel, but linked to it. And as for cleaning up the mess you made at the ruin, see 16. Cleaning a plugin. (After re-locating your exterior cell, write down cell reference ID's for messed-up ruin area, (X,Y co-ords) save your esp, then before re-loading it, check Details tab, and delete the CELL references you wrote down, (being careful to make sure that's all you delete and not all your other hard work) this will restore the cell in which the ruin is located to it's original state, ie the CS will not load up the changes your esp made to that area as you have told it to ignore them. Now load it and save it again. Now it's clean. (Recommed reading Morrowind Mod Maker's Manual compiled by Edwardsmd and other tutorials for Cell creation.) [[User:WaerLoga|WaerLoga]] 24 June (EDT)

== Black Soul Gems, Azura Style! ==
I'm thinking of doing a little black necromancer plug-in, and the core concept I wish to use is the re-usable Black Soul Gem. (Plus it would be pretty handy by itself)<br>
I'm wondering if someone has a sample, or if you can point me to the re-usable part? I cannot seem to locate anything relating to allowing/dis-allowing the re-use of Azura's Star.
PS: I hope I edited this right.<br>
- - [[User:Xnilson|Xero Nilson]]
According to [[Soul_Gem|Soul Gem]] both Azura's Star and Black Soul gems are hardcoded into the game. There may be a work around but it probaly won't be easy.
--[[User:Nate1054|Nate1054]] 14:04, 23 April 2006 (EDT)
Would this workaround work around?: Say the item is called the Gem of Worms (or something). When this item is in your inventory, and empty, it adds a black soul gem to your inventory. When the game detects that you have one empty black soul gem less, and one filled black soul gem more, it removes both this filled black soul gem, and the empty Gem of Worms, and adds a filled Gem of Worms. When the Gem of Worms is emptied, the game adds another empty black soul gem to your inventory.

==Remove Armor Spell==
I want to make a spell that would have the target only un-equip armor.  I've tried the Remove item thing but that completely removes all of their inventory.  How would I just have them remove their armor? 
I dont want to remove weapons or such things.  Just have them un-equip their armor. I want to make slightly easier kills while still having to dodge blows that do damage(unlike if they dont have any weapon) as well as being able to get their items after they die.  Help!!!!!!
- - [[Zeratul]]
You could use removeitem, then add it again on death. Have you tried doing something like Armour_name.unequip?
Of course, the problem with those two is finding out what items the NPC has in their inventory, without checking for every piece of armour in the game. So it is possible, but might be very clumsy.--[[User:Evrae|Evrae]] 15:19, 27 May 2006 (EDT)
How would i add the items back on death if they arent there anymore?  could you tell 
me how to do that?  can you use * for anything in a script?  i could go *.unequip, so   
ill try that.  [Zeratul]
--[[User:Omzy|Omzy]]
You could create a new package that has armor unequipped for duration of an hour with the "must complete" option checked and use a spell effect script that uses the AddScriptPackage command. Since the calling actor will be the one hit with the spell, the spell's target will run the package. Will the npc keep the armor off during the fight? Not sure, but this is one avenue to pursue if you want to experiment.

==Quest Scripting Question==
I have a problem with my quest script. Most is copied from the Nirnroot Quest...
I need it pretty much to output Daydone == 1 after one day, so my quest works...
I have little experience in scripting, but I am not too bad, yet this one has just stopped me from continuing...
Here is my script
<pre>
scriptname CQMeetClintonioScript
short DayDone
float CurrentDay
float CurrentTime
begin gamemode
;Wait a day to talk to Clintonio
if ( GetStage CQMeetClintonio == 30 ) && ( CurrentDay == 0 )
set CurrentDay to GameDaysPassed
set CurrentTime to GameHour
endif
if ( GetStage CQMeetClintonio == 30 ) && ( DayDone == 0 )
if GameDaysPassed == ( CurrentDay + 1 )
if GameHour >= CurrentTime
set DayDone to 1
endif
elseif GameDaysPassed > ( CurrentDay + 1 )
set DayDone to 1
endif
endif
if ( Getstage CQMeetClintonio ==30 ) && (DayDone == 1 )
clintonioref.additem weapsilvershortsword 1
clintonioref.additem pickaxe01 5
clintonioref.additem tg11elvenhelmet 1
endif
end </pre>
--[[User:Clintonio|Clintonio]] 4:08, 23 April 2006 (GMT)
--[[User:Omzy|Omzy]]
I don't see the problem with that script; In fact, i'm going to try it on my own mod because I have a part where you must wait two days. The only thing that I see being problematic is the last part. You need to set DayDone to 0 in the last if/endif block after you add the items or they will continually be added each frame of the game forever until the stage changes. Or you could change the quest stage there.
(update)As for the script just plain not working, I'm having the same problem. Thanks for the code, though.
--[[User:Omzy|Omzy]]
:Hmm...  Maybe the game is continually setting Gamehour to CurrentTime?  Perhaps you could introduce a variable that is set to 1 after the game notes when the quest started?  maybe something like this?
<pre>
scriptname CQMeetClintonioScript
short DoOnce
short DayDone
float CurrentDay
float CurrentTime
begin gamemode
;Put a Return if the stage is already greater than 30 here
;Wait a day to talk to Clintonio
if ( GetStage CQMeetClintonio == 30 ) && ( CurrentDay == 0 )
if ( DoOnce == 0 )
set CurrentDay to GameDaysPassed
set CurrentTime to GameHour
set DoOnce to 1
endif
endif
if ( GetStage CQMeetClintonio == 30 ) && ( DayDone == 0 )
if GameDaysPassed == ( CurrentDay + 1 )
if GameHour >= CurrentTime
set DayDone to 1
endif
elseif GameDaysPassed > ( CurrentDay + 1 )

clintonioref.additem weapsilvershortsword 1

--[[User:Omzy|Omzy]]
I've been working on mine and i finally got it to work. I don't know why this works and the other script doesn't, but i'll post mine exactly:
<pre>
ScriptName VoduniusNucciusQuestScript
short stage
float CurrentDay
float CurrentTime
short twoDaysDone
Begin GameMode
        SetStage VoduniusNucciusQuest stage
if stage == 21
if CurrentDay == 0
set CurrentDay to GameDaysPassed
set CurrentTime to GameHour
endif
endif
if stage == 21
if twoDaysDone == 0
if GameDaysPassed == ( CurrentDay + 2 )
if GameHour >= CurrentTime
set twoDaysDone to 1
endif
elseif GameDaysPassed > ( CurrentDay + 2 )
set twoDaysDone to 1
endif
endif
endif
if stage == 22
StopQuest VoduniusNucciusQuest
endif
End
</pre>
*I don't reccommend using the "stage" variable in your script. I need it for a rare circumstance in my quest topic result scripts.
The change is that instead of <pre>
              if (stage == 21) && (twodaysdone == 0)
                  stuff
              endif </pre>
I used <pre>
              if stage == 21
      if twoDaysDone == 0
                          stuff
                      endif
              endif
</pre>
The &&, even though it works in the Nirnroot script, somehow didn't do it for me. Tell me if it changes things, and perhaps why...
Also, TheImperialDragon, the local variable CurrentDay in his script is reset within the same block as the code for the CurrentTime variable. By changing that variable, the condition will not allow modification of either variable more than once...UNLESS the GameDaysPassed variable is 0 (first day?), which is unlikely if the stage of the quest is 30.
:I didn't change the variable - or did I?  Well, the intention was that the game check the time as soon as step 1 of the quest is completed.  When the time is one day after the ''snapshot'', the game starts step 2 of the quest.  The DoOnce command was so that when the game checks the time, it doesn't do so every frame, that is to say, set step 1's beginning time every frame.
:Well anyway, your script works so there's not much point in debating mine anymore.  I had a look at the article [[If]], and it would seem that there is no immediate difference between the two variants you used.  Perhaps this is just a bug in the software?  I can't explain why the scripting system would see a difference between them...

== How does an object finds out in which cell it is placed, using a script attached to the object? ==
The purpous is simple. Lets say I have a chest that should consider by itself via a script if it is placed in a player owned cell, and if so should react accordingly.
After looking at all the Cell functions only one looks promising and that is [[IsCellOwner]]. However this function need the cell id as the first parameter, what means that the object script calling it would need to know in which cell the object is placed. Unfortunately there seems to be no function to get the cell id of the cell the object is in, and therefore the forementioned function does not do the job.<br>

Have I missed something or is it simply not possible?<br>

--[[User:Omzy|Omzy]] Make a script for the player for the stat that increases the value of their spellcasting skills. For example, if my willpower increases by 1, all my skills like Destruction, Illusion, etc.. will increase by 3. In this way, those that focus on developing willpower will gain more magical ability faster. To see how much willpower has changed make sure the script knows the willpower before leveling and after leveling and find the difference. Then just AdvancePCSkill skillName (changeInStat * 3). How would you call such a script? Thats the hard part. You could attach it to an object called a Mages Stone (or words to that effect) and make sure this item is equipped before processing. This would make for an interesting mod. You could also attach it to a quest that starts at the beginning of the game and never ends (not nearly as cool).

I am creating a simple mod that connects all of the houses I've downloaded with teleport doors.  I placed a door in each house, and then I connected them with teleporters in another cell.  The problem is that every time I place a teleport in a house from a plugin, the TES Editor creates a duplicate cell just for the teleport, saying that the cell is no longer unique.  I've narrowed it down to conflicts between plugins because the teleporter I placed in Rosenthorn Hall (a stock Oblivion house) works just fine.  My plugin loads after the others, so I don't think it's a load order problem.
Please, how do I modify other plugins using my own? --[[User:Wahh|Wahh]]

::Upon reading that it is not possible, i devised a workaround that will let you indirectly link the diferent structures (in this case, houses, but will also work for caves, shops, etc) together. the key idea is to create a central location that can be expanded at will and link doors from it to free areas just outside the houses, such as the back yard or by the front gate. I used the catacombs mod available at www.oblivionsource.com , although making any type of a cave or a room will do. the end result is that you now have a mod that fits togehter with all the other mods like a puzzle peice, making them appear to be linked when actually they are not.

==How real is the find package==
I am not sure how 'real' the find package is in regards to the game world.
According to the wiki if a find command is run on an object the item will be activated, causing it to be picked up.
If you look at "M'aiq the Liar" (ID:Maiqtheliar) his AI list has only 3 elements.
*A find command to collect 20 callipers per search
*Two travel commands
If the callipers are really being collected, why don't they end up littering his inventory? Why doesn't he end up over-burdened? There are no AI commands for selling of these objects, or putting them down anywhere.
I was trying to make a quest in which a character goes around the gameworld in search of a type of item which the player must then steal from him. But the character does not seem to keep the items he 'picks up'.
I would like to hear others opinions of this package and ways to fix my problem. Thank you.[[User:Decoup|Decoup]] 20:33, 27 May 2006 (EDT)
: In my experience, it does work, but it only works within the location of the package. NPCs won't go through doors to find items, so if you place an NPC with a Find Weapons package outside the door to a blacksmith's shop, he will search outside in the radius given, but will not enter the shop. If no valid items exist within that area, he will do nothing or default to wandering. As far as I've seen, if the items are found, they ARE placed in his inventory. I haven't looked at Maiq's packages specifically, but I imagine there just aren't any calipers in the areas he explores. Try using the console to place a set near on the ground near him; he will most likely pick them up. Side note: NPCs won't pick up items you drop from your own inventory, because they are considered 'owned' by you. This applies even to characters who would normally steal from other NPCs.

I am specifically looking for a command that will tell you if the character will attack the player on sight.
