Before continuing, you'll want to create a new [[Globals|Global]] variable. In the [[The_Elder_Scrolls_Construction_Set|TES CS]] main menu, go to Gameplay -> Globals menu, right-click in the list of globals, select "New", and for the Form ID, enter ''cstmGlobalPlayerIsFlying'' as a ''short'' with value ''0''. This ''cstmGlobalPlayerIsFlying'' global variable holds the flying state of the player.

Though if made part of a regular duration spell effect, you could use [[ScriptEffectStart]] for set up, and [[ScriptEffectFinish]] for cleanup. | ||
To easily distinguish local variables for the sake of readability in this example script, each new local variable name begins with 'cstm'. Also, the script is heavily commented to hopefully make each step more clear. | To easily distinguish local variables for the sake of readability in this example script, each new local variable name begins with 'cstm'.
