Force70 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I was just about to request a mod like this. I think the compass should be dwarven as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edg3k Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 What about a magic needle? Just an idea but imagine this.You pop out your compass, and out comes the Dwemer Gyro thingy, then in the direction of North a small orb appears, you could steal it from magelight, it locates north and you can move around, it remains in the north direction. It'd have to be small to be non intrusive. Clairvoyance can do it (kinda) so you could tweak it to always point north, so when you take out your compass clairvoyance makes a small path north. Ive no idea how you'd do this in creation kit, that'd probably be the easier part, if someone knew how to write scripts, the main issue is the implementation of the compass itself. It cant be impossible, with all the SKSE features now there must be a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfenjaeger Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I like that the discussion is going on :-) I suppose that it wouldn't make a difference if we would use a compass balll instead of a needle? http://www.chinatraderonline.com/Files/Gifts-and-Crafts/Compass/Compass-Car-Accessories/Adhesive-Car-Compass-Ball-19571573896.jpg The ball's xyz-position could be fixed the tankard...

Wolfenjaeger Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 ... just another thought: I assume that every object has assigned X,Y and Z coordinates, further three rotational indices? Sticking with the compass ball idea: if one would block the rotational indices by fixing them to a distinct value (=North), one would end up with a perfect compass. Question is: are these attributes accessable and editable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuluthedrew Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 bump. this would be too cool, and was wishing for it and came across this thread. i'd like it if you held it in your hand like a spell or something, but that didn't stop gameplay like opening a screen. maybe asking too much.

SpectralDragon Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Theoretically you could tie the needle to a script. I know there is a spell which is supposed to "show you the path to the current goal." Also it shouldn't be hard to call a function which either checks the hud compass or, better yet, overlays it somehow onto your mug-compass. hmm, this would be an interesting addition to frostfall (which I am thinking of trying.)
