i appreciate it, it works perfectly.

I have had no luck with adding animation to files with niftools: blender or NIfScope. I have been trying for two days to turn oblivion vanilla mesh ungrdltraphingedoor into an animated activator. can anyone do this? I will be internally grateful :) I mean eternally grateful. original file uploaded. Specifics: take uploaded mesh and create a playgroup animation for opening, attach the finished mesh to an activator in TESCS, save as .esp, receive eternal gratefulness

i was using onEquip player and i saved the esp launched the game and tested it. it failed. so i back burner'd it for a while launched the game and miraculously it worked... go figure...

all of my book use scripts to call a quest into activation. but the thing i have noticed is that if i use addspell inside of ANY if statement regardless of quest, object, or effect script and regardless of any begin block it will not run, compiles but it effectivly ends the script. nothing after addpsell works either scn script begin gameMode if GlobalVarDoOnce == 1 message"this DOES print" player.addspell spell'this does not happen' message "this does not print" message "neither does this" set GlobalVarDoOnce to 2'this does not happen' endif end begin onEquip player set GlobalVarDoOnce to 1 end using the console command show GlobalVarDoOnce returns 1 so i know the onEquip block works EDIT- I have finished the scripts for my mod and it all works but I would still like to know why I cant get addspell to work inside of an if statement and as to using vanilla script: i'm not, both scripts are mine. I read one of the tutorials on tescs wiki and the rest i got from tescs wiki explanations of functions and commands. a semester of c++ helps too. tried to clean the code up a little

begin onEquip player compiles but an in game test has shown that it did not work. I sat in the chorrol mages guild till some npc tripped the book and activated the quest for me

The only thing in my quest script was this scn QuestSpelltome0001 begin GameMode player.addspell [spell EditorID] stopquest QuestSpelltome0001 end

I know that in the OnActivate block you can use getActionRef to determine who activated the effect, but how do i figure out who equipped an object? i want to keep npc's from activating my scripts in my spelltome mod. scn SpellTome0001 short HasReadOnce begin onActivate activate if getActionRef == player if HasReadOnce == 0 message "Knowledge Gained" startquest QSpellTome0001 set HasReadOnce to 1 endif endIf end begin onEquip ;'[edit] i tried begin onEquip player and it compiles but it doesnt work in game' ;if getActionRef == player<--------need a working code equivalent here preferably non-OBSE if HasReadOnce == 0 message "Knowledge Gained" startquest QSpellTome0001 set HasReadOnce to 1 endIf endif end

Can anyone tell me why this works scn SpellQuestTemplate ;script activates quest ;quest adds spells short HasReadOnce begin onEquip player ;if reading from inventory if HasReadOnce == 0 StartQuest [QuestID] set HasReadOnce to 1 endif end begin onActivate ;if reading from game world activate ;activate book menu if isActionRef player if HasReadOnce == 0 StartQuest [QuestID] set HasReadOnce to 1 endif endif end and this doesn't? scn SpellBookTemplate ;script adds spells short HasReadOnce begin onEquip ;if reading from inventory if HasReadOnce == 0 player.addspell [spell EditorID] set HasReadOnce to 1 endif end begin onActivate ;if reading from game world activate ;activate book menu if isActionRef player if HasReadOnce == 0 player.addspell [spell EditorID] set HasReadOnce to 1 endif endif end Both scripts are attached to books. [Edit]no longer using getSelf

as to other mods that enhance this you may want to also install the companionship ring mod(not from CM partners) this prevents in-fighting among your group which is a common problem with this mod. cant remember where i got it exept that it is on nexus... somewhere...

I want to store the textures meshes etc. from .omod file in there respective Oblivion\Data\folders completly bypassing the oblivion Mod Manager Program. Is there a program that can Decompress .omod's? EDIT: mever mind lol OMM has a drop down right click after the omod has been installed to extract the filles, lol i cant believe i missed it

Also remember most mods will NOT work UNLESS you have the patch from the Shivering Isles disk, had this problem when I first began modding and tried all of the above including completely disabling Windows UAC(not advised by anyone i know) finaly patched and voila(eureka) it worked
