I'm having trouble getting the script to work/register in game. I think it might be an issue of me using Creation Kit through Mod Organizer (long story, but launching it the "vanilla" way caused errors). But I think that's a problem on my end only, w.r.t. folder and game structure. Thanks for all the help! I'll edit in when/if I get it working, but you've helped me a tonne, and the rest is up to me!

I'm still a little uncertain of how the script is put into Skyrim/Creation kit? When I attempt to edit my trigger box, I get the following (Creation kit screen caps) But when I attempt this, I just get a compilation error message. At which point do I actually input papyrus script language? Should I pop into my data folder and make a new .psc file myself, and then (re)start the Creation Kit before I can select it? -thanks for all the help!

Having it appear out of nowhere is odd, I realize. But it's sooort of supposed to be a secret, which is why. Thanks! Though which part of that script actually enables something? I feel like there should be some sort of getLinkedRef().enable in that if statement (I don't know the actual syntax, sorry. New to Papyrus, but familiar with prog. languages in general though)

I'm rather new to modding, to please forgive me if this is a "stupid question." Without further ado. I have a mod with three interior zones; A, B, and C. They are chain linked such that A<--> B <--> C through regular doors. But there is also a shortcut between A<-->C. However, to avoid players skipping zone B, that shortcut should only be enabled when the Player has reached zone C 'naturally' Basically, there's a ladder in zone C which links to an Initially Disabled trapdoor in zone A. I would like either the trapdoor is enabled when the Player passes a threshold (trigger box?) in zone C the trapdoor is enabled when the Player first uses the ladder from zone C Either way is fine by me, so if one is easier to explain/do than the other that's okay. Thanks for reading!

I've searched around a bit on various forums, but could find no proper replica or answer. I've recently designed my own Player Home in the Creation kit, but some of the light fixtures seem overly finicky and sensitive. The lights seem to switch on/off entirely with just a few steps or even just change of character facing (aiming). I've included a couple of pictures in the spoiler below to showcase the issue; even when standing in the same spot, tilting the camera a little bit will switch lights on off. When I was moving around in the house, I thought lights turning on or off was just a matter of the lighting radius, and I tried to scale them up. But the issue occurs even when standing in the same spot, so surely it can't be a matter of radii. I read on another thread - with an apparently similar issue - thread here - that the game hard-caps the number of simultaneous lights at 4; is this true? If so, any advice on dealing with it? By limiting the radius (scale) of lights to prevent overlap, I run back into the old problem of candles and campfires turning themselves on only when the Player approaches, or immediately fizzing out when you take a few steps away. And would you prevent lights from one room from dipping into the light-counter of another, say, on the other side of the wall? Kindly forgive my ignorance, I'm still a novice for interior decorating, but I hope you have a solution, or at least some advice to help me on my way. P.s. I am using ENB, hence why interiors get (very) dark when the light sources are flicked off.

So if I create a new quest, how would I run it? It still needs to coincide with the old mechanics (talking to Nocturnal, activating one of the moon crests in Twilight Sepulcher) And even if I did add all three powers to the player ("game().GetPlayer().AddSpell( Name of Spell)") I'd still have to modify the original mod script to prevent removing the powers again when player revisits the crests. i.e. When player first completes Darkness Returns they should get All three Power spells (I could add these to the original quest script; in whatever part comes after talking to Nocturnal, I guess).When player afterwards chooses a Crest (Half Moon, Full Moon, Crescent Moon) NOTHING HAPPENS TO THE POWERS (which would normally be (partially) removed), but they get one new passive.The player can then switch Moon Crest once per day (or week?), removing any previous passives and adding a new one. But retaining all the active power spells. Edit: I might just be in over my head here. I've never really tried scripting before (except for one, very simple mod where I had an On-Game-Start quest that added a bunch of perks to player permanently, but that was much simpler than this dynamic back and forth Nightingale system).

Ah, okay. I also found TG09ShadowScript, -strifescript, -subterfugescript. They look like this: I don't get when/where the game defines pTG09Spell though. I need the Cleanupspells (which I assume removes all three powers) to instead remove 3 custom buffs, and the new added ability should be a new custom ability that I made. However; I still want the player to get (and permanently keep) all three powers somehow. I'm guessing now: In TGNQuestScript I change the lines Function CleanUpSpells() Game.GetPlayer().RemoveSpell(pNightingaleShadowPerkSpell) Game.GetPlayer().RemoveSpell(pNightingaleSubterfuge) Game.GetPlayer().RemoveSpell(pNightingaleStrife)to Function CleanUpSpells() Game.GetPlayer().RemoveSpell(pShadowNewPassive) Game.GetPlayer().RemoveSpell(pSubterfugeNewPassive) Game.GetPlayer().RemoveSpell(pStrifeNewPassive) But how do I define these new objects? And how do I make the game also add the old powers (and not remove them again) I'm not sure which bits to edit where... -Also, sorry for the late reply.

Hi Nexus! I'm getting more confident with the Object Manager, but am still new to scripts. First off; I want to make it so that a player can have all three Nightingale Powers from the Thieves Guild Quest line at the same time, and instead switch between a trio of passives (like they switch between a selection of powers now). I can deduce that the powers are controlled through a quest: TGNightingalePowerHandler This quest has little info beyond two scripts, which I've copied below (inelegantly). And I've had a look at the TGNQuestScript It seems to be that the TGNQuestScript removes all the powers... ? But in that case how is the proper one added afterwards? To be concise How do I let players pick up all powers simultaneously, and never lose them. What would I have to change/replicate to let players switch between a (new) set of passives, but always keep all 3 active powers? If anyone can help me clear this up, it'd be much appreciated.

Set items are a pretty cool concept, but Skyrim only has a few. In fact, as far as I can tell, the base game has just two armor sets with "set bonuses"; The Dark Brotherhood and Nightingale sets both grant a little bonus armor, when wearing all four pieces. But I don't understand exactly how this works. In the Creation Kit, I can see the "Dbfullset" spell, and simply enough it checks if the player has 4x Keyword: Darkbrotherhood gear. And I can recreate this effect, by just putting an enchantment on an item with similar conditions, I could use the Wuuthrad script to add a perk which did the same. But what I'm trying to understand is how the Dark Brotherhood and Nightingale set bonuses work. They're spells with conditions, but when are the spells added to players? I can't tell, looking at any of the armor pieces, that they should add the spell. It seems to come out of nowhere and check if the player has the enough set pieces. When is this spell added to the player? What am I missing? Thanks for reading, and I hope you can elucidate the issue a bit. (And no, I don't strictly *need* to do it this way, there are several other methods. But I'd still like to understand it)

Hi Nexus I recently made a mod for changing racial passives. The mod adds a set of perks and abilities to the Player, and only enables some of them, based on conditions. It all works fine except for one bit; that one of the perks works for *all* races, not just the one conditioned. To elaborate... I add a perk called "Cat's Reflexes" to the Player, regardless of race. The Perk checks if the Player is Khajiit and, if they are, gives them the "Quick Reflexes" perk (Time slows down when blocking an enemy's power attack). But the game seems to entirely ignore the "GetRace == Khajiit" condition. I even added the condition twice! Does anyone have a clue why this, somehow, works for all races? My dunmer character, for example, still gets the Slow Time effect when blocking a power attack. (And no; it's not that he has the Quick Reflexes perk himself, blocking skill is only at 20). Any advice much appreciated, thank you.

Thanks a thousand for all your help! I managed to get the whole thing working smoothly now, and I'm just about ready to release my mod, now that I've tested everything works. You're swell! -

Okay, my code is now Scriptname RacialAddPerk extends ReferenceAlias {Documentation: This script is used for adding a perk.} Perk Property newPerk Auto Event OnInit() GetActorRef().AddPerk(newPerk) EndEvent And I can add a perk when editing properties. But, last question I swear, how do I add more than one perk? The script just has one property which picks one perk. But I have 10 or so I wish to add - and I can't add the script in multiple times. Please tell me it's not adding the same 4 lines of script nine times over? That seems... wrong. -

I managed to fix the first error (of not recognizing the Extends script) - apparently all scripts had been compiled into a .rar file?? And I had to extract it back into the data\scripts\source folder. Now, however, I run into a different issue. I copied the code snippet you gave me, but now the script fails to compile. I feel the GetRef() is the issue. I found an alternate script on the web which goes Actor Property PlayerRef Auto Perk Property newPerk Auto event OnInit() PlayerRef.AddPerk(newPerk) endEvent This seems to be independent of the "extends refenrecealias". But as for properties, there is both a "PlayerRef" and "newPerk" property. The latter is fairly simple, but I imagine the first arises from using PlayerRef instead of an "extends alias"? For the PlayerRef property... Could I leaveit as "Default Script Value" - as it seems to be made for "pointing" to the player? I feel that, with all your help, I'm so damn close. But just not quite there yet. -

Thanks a tonne for all this (very thorough!) explanation. I still have two questions/problems though: 1. Do I have to create a quest for every possible race? I.e. one quest checks if player is Redguard... adds perks/spells if they are, a second quest checks for dunmer... and so on. Is there any smart way to combine them all in one quest? Or do I just make 10 quests? (Not that it would be much of a problem... Duplicate!) 2. I seem to run into an error when trying to create a new script with Extends: ReferenceAlias
