It has been attempted, to sue any manufacturer If the manufacturer is 'linked' to a crime or accident. I kid you not, They are trying. They want to also sue alcohol vendors and alcohol manufacturers for the decision a drunk driver makes. This of course, means they don't believe WE as a nation are allowed to think for ourselves. Also you said: "And then there is the whole topic of using the restroom of the gender you identify with..... If you don't think that various and sundry perverts aren't going to use these new laws to expand their 'hunting grounds', you are delusional. There is no way on god's little green acre on want someone with a penis sharing a restroom with my granddaughter." I submit to you, YOU are delusional. FACT: up to this year, there is not a single case of a transgender woman/man molesting people AT ALL, REGARDLESS if a bathroom bill was passed. FACT: People of ALL groups have been found to violate the trust. They are WOMEN teachers, priests, men teachers, coaches, fire fighters, soldiers, Subway sandwich promoters, police and so on. FACT: Approximately 1.5 percent of the American population identifies with a gender disorentation. The highest estimate is 3 percent. Take that percentage, then deduct the ones that know exactly who they identify with. The ones that are not 'fluid'. Take into consideration that they want protections too and it is IDENTITY they are struggling with, it is not SEX. So, the point is.....it is TOO LATE to be afraid of a dismal opportunity that someone in the transgender community, which is less than 1.5 percent; might take. Breathe easy.

I am a conservative first. I can vote conservative democrat or conservative republican. I promote 'protection of the minority from the majority' concepts. That is hard to promote when the RNC website decides to TAKE AWAY simple rights for transgender people. Ted believes same sex marriage is 'sin' and transgender girls/boys choose or 'feel' their gender and thats enough to undo the rights we fought for recently. He follows RNC new proposition to discriminate against trans women and trans men: http://www.advocate.com/transgender/2016/2/25/republican-national-committee-endorses-anti-trans-bathroom-bills I had to stop endorsing Carly when I found out she accepted to be his running mate. Can't stand prejudism based on sex, creed, religion, gender. My friend went so for as to renounce her association with the republican party. So sad. Hillary and her camp say that voters should hate their neighbors because they own more than what the voter has. She believes people are not smart enough to take care of themselves. The big mighty government should do it instead. So let me get this straight "We the people" are not smart enough to take care of our children. WE need the government to dress us, school us, feed us, be our dietician. Yet she says that is not brainwashing. WE still have rights. ROFL :pirate: That means that she believes our founding fathers were NOT afraid of tyranny, that it is okay for the government to be our nannies? LOL :nuke: Toxic idea. She has on record, told energy companies that they should effectively 'compete against themselves'. In other words, if its an oil company, it must foot the bill, by law, to come up with its own alternative to free energy. How draconian. Got to love it, when a politician believes he or she can order to the CEO of a company, of how, when, and where business will be conducted. *shhh* we are not to call that fascism. @WursWaldo I was actually thinking that instead of rebuilding, just force the party to go back to their roots. It was not religious in nature for instance. Both sides of the aisle had believers in God, but that did not immediately equate to making religious laws. Reclaiming the party by getting rid of the religious elite who decide I must serve their God would be sufficient. They enjoyed 'protectionism' built in by the Constitution even though it discriminated a class of people.

Socialism by a Federal body = evil. Trump being allowed to run = horrible and sometimes comical. Hillary allowed to run =evil A crook who has been caught red handed. She lost her license to practice law. No brainer. Find another candidate to replace her. So we get Sanders? I agree with WursWaldo. on his views. So we are told that we have choices because we can 'pick our poison'. Alot of this would stop if we just outlawed PAC and lobbyists. Our votes don't count because of them. I used to tell a joke, "Whats worse than a communist, a dictator, a republican, a democrat, or a liberal? Every time it is a LOBBYIST working for self interest. They can sneak into ANY camp and disrupt the process. I guess its not a joke anymore. Too much of it is real. I used to love my country. Now I just 'like' it barely. No better place to be. So sad.

its the same. Creationkit.com has the commands for that. You just open the console and put your mouse on your new follower and use its reference id. When I had a follower from the vanilla game, she would not show up after following so I just used the moveto command using her reference id and it works like a charm. If you don't like using reference ids all the time put it in a text file in the game directory Name of script something like "Follower1Teleport.txt" IN the text file: "reference ID".moveto player In the console: Bat Follower1Teleport

Another option is to forget about fixing SEQ everytime you make a change. If you use Story Manager (change location) you can fire your quest up, never fails. You can change your story line to your heart's content and not worry about tesv edit. Also, the script is complaining about syntax and missing parameters, so could you edit the script and copy/paste the entire thing here, please?

Use a travel package already created. If you have to modify, then make a duplicate of the package and name it something you will remember. Once you name it, place it on the npc that will be killing the giant. Inside the travel package, you can tell WHERE the npc will travel. What time it will travel, etc.

Allannaa and I are working on multiple follower creation. The stipulations are: The mod has to use vanilla resources for hiring. (No 'tokens' , keywords, etc to mark hirelings)The mod has to be 'cleanable' with TESVedit. (This generally means, the fewer changes the better.)The solution has to be for hirelings and for 'free' followers.The solution has to not add all hirelings to the hireling form list. (So other mods can use this system)I have managed to duplicate DialogueFollower, Misc Tab, and HirelingQuest Quests. I then disabled them. I enabled my copies. I have noticed that making playerfollowercount global not change value, does not help.Changing Hashireling does not help. I can get the game to ask more than one hireling to join me, but when they do, the first companion will re evaluate her package and leave, without saying her dismissal dialogue. I have been working with these items: I'm aware of these items using the follower dialogue, but I have not seen reason to mess with them: At one point, an alias with some of the values I mentioned above, will kick in, :ohdear: I would like to know if I should be modifying it in conjunction with other values or just leave it alone. :teehee: What else can I be looking at?

The first part you were saying, is true. I already did that a week ago. It changes back, any changes I make. That is why I wanted the ability to observe all their behaviors before I committed to a script. I was mostly successful. I just duplicated DialogueFollower & HirelingQuest; so I could entertain what you were mentioning in the second part of your post. I am planning to make a multiple follower mod, so I want it to be versatile for anyone else who makes a follower mod; where there mod won't require adding their follower to my list. I lose internet too, so I hope you are doing okay without it until Monday. I might ask you for help later. In the meantime, I will change my thinking due to your help; and go into phase 10 of trial and error. Some of the items in Creationkit.com don't look as 'Greek' to me like they once did.

Quite so.

I figured any of the factions could be set to any number. I will now look at them as a keyword. I will play with that and see if I can view it without setting conditional statements; via GetFactionRank. Also, We set the value of currenthireling to zero or one; so I just figured we could view that state without testing it in a conditional statement. What I'm attempting to do is do a blind count, not keep tabs on who actually is in the playerfollowercount / playerteammate. I just add +1 to playerfollowercount and assign the hireling to a new faction MultipleFollowerFaction. I already did that but the dialogue won't start because playerfollowercount is > 1 2. So then I decided to change all code that changed playerfollowercount (make sure it stayed at zero). This allowed me to have dialogue with other hirelings after I hired one. The problem is that I would hire my second hireling and the first hireling would update and dismiss herself, no dialogue, no notification. So, to follow what changes I made in the script, I observe in the game as I play by using levers. The global stuff seems rather easy now. Talking with you has saved me quite a bit of time at least. I hate starting over, I know for instance that a string can't be stored in an integer. Its just with this new stuff (for me anyways); I don't identify what I'm dealing with efficiently. That means I end up making a fool of myself.

My biggest concern is to be able to observe the state a variable is in; without determining what I think it should be. I want to be able to trace the conditions so I can determine whether I leave something alone, create a new script, or modify one. In this case, I want to observe the value contained by any of the factions ( 0, 1, or are they another #). Once I know this, I can determine where HasHireling is being reset. I want to verify that playerfollowercount is not being reset at the wrong time. I plan on expanding playerfollowercount to be concantenated to the number of followers that were hired by the player; and not be dismissed every time I hire one. I am so far, at this time, looking for a way to get the values they are set to.

Surprisingly, I get mostly what you are saying. You are in general terms expressing what I was asking. I needed the correlations and reading the creation kit wasn't enough. I just learned about the 'variable pointing to another variable', this helps me quite a bit. I grew up thinking only numbers or strings were held in a variable. So I'm learning slowly. I'm using a lever just to test values in the game when I find out that my scripts are not working. The problem is, I use the lever to find out what is happening, with no expectations of what a value should be. I want to use the lever to observe the uncharted territory that I am in so I can evaluate a solution. My current script is trying to pass content of factions (are they 0 or 1) and to pass the content of relationship rank without checking for every possible out come and writing a message for each condition they can be. I had the globals working fine, the way I originally depicted and now the smarter way which you depicted. Not so, with variables that are not handled by globalvariables.psc The following is just a taste:

Thanks for reminding me a faction is an object. I would definitely give you a 'cookie' like in TESA, some kind of reward.

Side note, I already saw those pages you mentioned. Its all greek to me. There is no structure to actually teach it, just raw code. So I am learning very slowly.

I examined all scripts. I even looked for hidden scripts to verify I am not missing anything. My plans are this: 1. Create a sure fire way of creating scripts that detect anything I need them to do, for troubleshooting. 2. My current project is to help myself and Allannaa make multiple hirelings and multiple followers without modifying core dialogue. I just replicated DialogueFollowers and DialogueViews and am now trying to find out why playerfollowercount is not being observed. Which means I changed the code to never increment playerfollowercount; the followers did all dialogue, but the minute I hired a hireling; The previous hireling would update a package and unhire herself; even though she did not mention I already had someone hired. I was trying to use debug.notification to tell me what the values of all the factions hirelings have, playerfollowercount; HasHirelingGV; etc. 3. I know old school programming so this Casting is driving me crazy. I live on Creationkit.com and I mostly have global variables called by functions; figured out. I am looking for some kind of chart or some way to understand what 'environments' each operate on. It just baffles me that a single item like playerfollowercount can not just be displayed; when it has code to be able to check for a condition. By the way, I re entered the global function script mentioned earlier; I finally got it working and replaced the way I did it for Globals. Now I am trying to find something better than casting a value as a string. It isn't working, as you already knew. I am trying to find out the 'laws of casting' so to speak. So I can translate any casting variable to any other type when I need it.

I only declared the faction properties as strings because the compiler wouldn't let me make them integers. This is the problem I am having right now. In the game, the 'string' factions only display "[Faction" Looks incomplete. I shorten the line and that still gets cut off. So apparently I need another solution. I guess I am 'in the same boat' as you explained. Instead, its the variables that look like they follow their own rules in casting. I can't apply the same rules I used with functions, to just getting a standard variable's content.

The lever was duplicated so it would be easy to understand what the lever did. It is for mod testing anyways. If you have 30 items you are testing for, then it is just easier to drop the lever already named for what it does. So in actual game time, I would not being doing that. I would be doing what you had suggested. I did attempt earlier what you typed for the script, for some reason I couldn't get it to work. I will try it again since you vouched for it. I understand the autofill comment. It just didn't work out for what I was doing; for 'being clear'. Lastly, the steps that I used also work for values that are not used in global functions. You can still declare the value of a faction for instance (you cant use a function to call it). string PotentialHirelingNumber=(PotentialHireling as string) Debug.notification("Potential Hireling Number =" + PotentialHirelingNumber) If you can explain how to do 'non functions' easier than what I depicted, I don't mind. This is all I could come up with that worked for items that had functions attached, and ones that did not. Thanks for feedback.

Display Global Variables. Also posted as a question in Mod author forum. I am using the creation kit and all I see is how to get a global variable and then check for a condition to display it. I didn't want to write 100 conditions to anticipate every number the global variable is. I just wanted to display its current number to give me an idea of what is going on with my script (troubleshooting). I don't know all the ways, but I was successful using Debug.Notification. GlobalVariable.psc already has the built in functions so no need to declare a function. Look for the variable you want to display in the creation kit / under Miscellaneous / Global For instance the value held in the GlobalVariableGV auto that will return the value of HasHireling. 1. Define a variable similar to the name of the global variable you want to display. Example: GlobalVariable Property GlobalHasHirelingGV auto. 2. Declare a temporary variable that will get the value of your GlobalVariable. Example: int HasHirelingValue=(GlobalHasHirelingGV.getValue() as int) 3. Display the temporary value in a debug statement so user can see the test in the game. Example: Debug.notification (" Current Hireling Global : " + HasHirelingValue.GetValue() as int) 4. Compile 5. Declare the property GlobalVariable GlobalHasHirelingGV as "HasHireling" 6. Place the script on an activator, like a lever that has animation, Name the script that extends object reference conditional. I did this for a duplicated Norlevl01 lever. I have a step by step " How To" if anyone needs. Just email sharemodinfo_ashley@yahoo.com or visit projectashenfire.org and check contact us link.

Face was okay. The first time I used 4k UNP. Her skin did not match her body skin. I deleted the modified toccatta file and changed just her hair from a fresh .esp. Installed as UNPB 4k Her hair changed just like before, even when attempting to make it brown. I only changed her hair but I could see the 'neckline' where her head would be severed from the body. I don't use unpb, cbbe, etc; so they are at least responding to changes as I made them. They are not vanilla.

Activated Toccata esp. showing head preview causes many issues with missing .tri files. Ignoring standard preview warnings shows the character. changed haircolor from auburn to haircolor12blacktrue Loaded skyrim and coc whiterundrunkenhunsmen (easy place to start when testing hirelings) player.placeatme 05000d62 Her hair was changed from auburn to a bland charcoal grey & white

I successfully changed hair using vanilla characters, no mods, tested in game. So I was going to download the Toccata mod to replicate the proecedures, but I saw it is rather 'involved'. Do you use any of the following: UNP, UNP skinny, UNPB, UNPB-BBP, SevenBase ? Do you use any other follower mods that might interfere? If you do use UNP, UNP skinny, UNPB, UNPB-BBP, or SevenBase make sure they load before your mod.

I shall help you out tomorrow. I will wrap up phase 1 in my current lab. I will then work on it and at least see if I can document it for you, see if it changes for me as well. I am assuming that you are verifying that your .esp file has been saved, is in the data directory, and is included in your loadup list. Skyrim Loader page-click on DATA FILES, your .esp has been checked for loading and is not interfered with other mods.

Yeh, I changed hair and face. Verify that either data/textures and data/meshes have the sub folders with the name of your mod. For instance: ~Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Meshes\Actors\Character\FaceGenData\FaceGeom If you want, you can send the file and I can test it.

Also, if you want to email it to sharemodinfo_ashley@yahoo.com, I can take a look at it directly.
