Hello All, I have a spell that melts bodies into a puddle of goo, thus revealing the skull of the body. Normally the puddle of goo despawns pretty quickly when in an exterior space, but it can persist in interior spaces that are visited frequently. There can be many gelatinous puddles at a time. A user asked me about this as well. Upon some reflecting, I have decided I want to add a script that will "Evaporate" the gelatinous puddles once the cell is no longer in use. I am testing the following script that is attached to the gelatinous goo, and it does despawn that object reference as soon as the cell is unloaded. It works, but is this a good/safe way of doing it? Scriptname dw02EvaporateGelatinousGoo extends ObjectReference ; ====== Events Event OnUnLoad() disable() deletewhenable() endEvent Event OnCellDetach() disable() deletewhenable() EndEvent Thank you for any thoughts or feedback. This is the mod, btw: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/58248

I finally published my mod. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/58248?tab=description Thank you again for all your help.

Wow. IsharaMeradin I truly appreciate your help. I have it working using formlists and arrays! Now I just have 40+ global variables I can release back into the wilds of Skyrim. Global Variables (Globs) will never again tremble in my presence. Your post is a coding lesson in itself. I am going to make sure I understand every part of it. The biggest help was demonstrating how to actually attach and use a Script (DoorScript). I am so elated to finally understand this. I posted the whole code (even though it is still not a finished MCM) incase anybody else is struggling with using arrays and formlists. Yes, there are still some gratitous global variables, sorry Globs looks like you are not completely safe after all. One other thing I learned, this forum editor does not like Tabs for indentation, so I did a mass convert of Tabs to spaces (Thanks Notepad++). Thank you again IsharaMeradin!

Thank you IsharaMeradin. I appreciate your guidance. I will make this work. Cheers!

Hello Fellow Modders, Big Picture: I have a lot of doors in my basement (connecting to player homes) and depending on what the user selects (through the MCM) for the status of each door Is It In Game (.i.e "No way do I want a door in my basement leading to the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary, creepy" :ohmy: )Is It known by the player (i.e. "Have I ever been in the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary? Yes but its not what you think. I was going door to door selling cookies and I asked to use their restroom..." :sick: )Is it On the Network to fast travel between places (i.e. "I like having access to my basement from the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary, but I don't want them to follow me into my nice home, so it is off network" :ermm: )Which is the current Active Door ("Are you asking if I entered my basement just now from the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary? Well, I could tell you but then... :devil: ") I want to update which doors are Enabled. I have a working version with the InGame and IsKnown. I am using global variables for each door and each status. While it works, it seems to be the wrong approach. I have started adding the OnNetwork, and the Event OnOptionSelect is starting to get ugly. Ugly code warning! You don't need to read this. This MCM is not complete and the Indentations did not transfer?? So, I am thinking that using Global Variables is not ideal. It seems to me that it would be better if I could just add four properties to a base door, lets call it MyDoor MyDoor.IsKnown MyDoor.IsInGame MyDoor.IsOnNetwork MyDoor.Index Scriptname dw01_MLB_Door extends ObjectReference ;||||||||||||||||||||||| 1=TRUE 0=FALSE ||||||||||||||||||||||| Int Property Index Auto ;Used to track which door is the Active Door Int Property IsInGame Auto ;User decides if door is available in game Int Property IsKnown Auto ;Has Player Used the door yet Int Property IsOnNetwork Auto ;Does door into MLB allow other exit options through other doors Then I use this door as the Parent, and make 11 Child copies MyDoor00 ... MyDoor11 And they all have the properties. I can then add these doors to a FormList and loop through the list getting the properties (IsInGame, IsKnown, IsOnNetwork) on that door to decide if the door should be enabled. Is this how I should be doing this? Will I still need to use one global for each door and each of the properties to interact with the MCM? I appreciate any advice. Have a great day!

Thank you ReDragon2013. It is working now. :cool: I emptied the FormList and refilled it, and no difference. But then I closed the creation kit, reopened, and noticed the FormList did not exist. Huh? :huh: I must have saved this 10's of times. So I recreated the list and saved it immediately. I then added the items, and saved it again. Now it works. Thank you!

Hello Modder Community, I am attempting a Formlist to mass enable/disable a group of doors. However, when I fire this spell, my debug iIndex returns 0 instead of the expected value of 11 . I have included an image of the Formlist below the code block. So, what am I missing? Scriptname dw01_MLB_ToggleAllDoorsTo extends activemagiceffect {Toggle Enable/Disable all the doors to (out of My Basement)} ;||||| Ref Attempt FormList Property dw01_MLB_DoorToList Auto; Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster) ;||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ;Toggle them all! ;||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| MyRefAttempt() endEvent Function MyRefAttempt() Debug.Notification("Hello") ;<<<<< This works, and makes me smile Int iIndex = dw01_MLB_DoorToList.GetSize() Debug.Notification("iIndex=" + iIndex) ;<<<<< This is returning 0, and gives me a frown While iIndex iIndex -= 1 ObjectReference kReference = dw01_MLB_DoorToList.GetAt(iIndex) As ObjectReference If kReference.IsEnabled() kReference.Disable() Else ; kReference.Enable() EndIf EndWhile EndFunction

Thank you maxarturo, RedDragon2013, lofgren and dylbill. You all helped me to figure this out. RedDragron2013 's code with dylbill's edit works. While the item does not show up with the red hand on the corpse, as soon as the PC loots it it is marked as stolen. Wonderful! Scriptname dw02ISeeTheLight extends ActiveMagicEffect {Using modified Magelight to target a deadbody.} ; https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/9709908-set-target-actor-as-owner-of-items-added-to-their-corpse/ MiscObject PROPERTY BoneHumanSkullFull auto ; this is the baseobject of skull ; -- EVENT -- EVENT OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster) IF akTarget.IsDead() ELSE RETURN ; - STOP - target is still alive ENDIF ;--------------------- myF_Action( akTarget ) ENDEVENT ; -- FUNCTION -- ;---------------------------------- FUNCTION myF_Action(Actor akTarget) ;---------------------------------- ; (1) place a new skull object nearby, https://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=PlaceAtMe_-_ObjectReference objectReference oRef = akTarget.PlaceAtMe(BoneHumanSkullFull as Form, 1, False, TRUE) ; non-persistent and disabled ; (2) make the ownership, https://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=SetActorOwner_-_ObjectReference oRef.SetActorOwner( akTarget.GetActorBase() ) oRef.EnableNoWait() Debug.Trace(" *** TEST *** object = " +oRef+ ", owned by " + oRef.GetActorOwner()) ; look at papyrus.0.log (inside My Games\Skyrim\Logs\Script) ; (3) now move the skull into NPC inventory akTarget.AddItem(oRef as Form) ENDFUNCTION Thank you again!

Thank you ReDragon2013. I really appreciate how well commented your code is. Unfortunately, I am getting the same set of error messages from the line: oRef.SetActorOwner( akTarget().GetActorBase() ) (32,24): akTarget is not a function or does not exist (32,35): none is not a known user-defined type lofgren, I appreciate your suggestion of moving items into a hidden container and sharing of your experience. I will investigate this. Thank you.

Thank you maxarturo. I added per your recommendation: ;akTarget.AddItem(BoneHumanSkullFull,1,true) ObjectReference MyObj = akTarget.AddItem(BoneHumanSkullFull,1,true) ;<<<< compiles fine MyObj.SetActorOwner(akTarget().GetActorBase()) <<<does not compile, throws errors: ;(127,23): akTarget is not a function or does not exist, then ;(127,34): none is not a known user-defined type I also tried MyObj.SetActorOwner(akTarget.GetActorBase()); <<<compiles, but does not change ownership I added the debug: debug.notification("MyObj = " + MyObj.GetActorOwner() + " " + MyObj) ;<<<<<< This returns: "MyObj None None" Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello Nexus Modding Community, I could use some help. I have a script that targets a human corpse, checks that it is dead, add items to it(skull, human flesh, bone meal, iron ore and bloody rags) and then disintegrates the body. It all works great. What I am having trouble with is: 1) giving ownership of the newly added items to the dead npc (akTarget). I want these items to show up in their inventor with the red hand, and to be marked as stolen when looted by our PC's. I included a snippet below. Scriptname dw02ISeeTheLight extends activemagiceffect {Using modified Magelight to target a deadbody.} import utility MiscObject Property BoneHumanSkullFull auto Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster) bool bIsDead = akTarget.IsDead() IF bIsDead == TRUE akTarget.AddItem(BoneHumanSkullFull,1,true) ;<<<<< Works BoneHumanSkullFull.SetActorOwner(akTarget().GetActorBase()) ;<<<<< Not correct. I tried many variations. EndIf EndEvent 2) Making the casting this spell a crime if observed. Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions.
