YouDoNotKnowMyName Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Good evening everybody! I have a (simple) question: If I have a script (for example on an activator) that will enable an X-Marker a few cells away (not currently loaded), will that X-Marker be enabled when the player gets to that cell? Or if an activator inside of an interior cell triggers a script that enables a X-Marker in a exterior cell, will that work? I know that something like this could be done by "setting" a global variable with the activator-script and checking the value of that variable when the X-Marker gets loaded.I am just wondering if there is a easier way to do this (directly enable / disable that X-Marker) ... If you know anything about this, let me know here ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKKmods Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Yes you can enable/disable unloaded assets, but, the ObjectReference must be persistent if it is not already. That means you should either set them up as; A script property, or;Added to a FormList, or;In a quest reference alias or collection. If they are not persistent, trying to get/set settings will fail. Avoid GetFormFromFile if unsure. Whilst CK hand placed items in ESP/ESL mods are always persistent, hand placed items in ESMs are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouDoNotKnowMyName Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 Ok, thanks for the quick answer! Hand placed items in ESMs are not persistent?So if I make a ESP mod thing and then turn it into a ESM, will that change anything or is that just the "vanilla" Fallout4.esm ? Weird stuff ...

Zorkaz Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Interesting. And I thought that was an Oblivion problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKKmods Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 At first I was confused when I saw base game objects referenced in script (property, formlist, alias) being highlighted in xEdit as hard changes, so cleaned them up and the script fails. The change is to make them persistent so they can be referenced when unloaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorkaz Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I wonder how this affects esls. I never really gotten much insight into how they work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
