SSE I'm trying to make Jaxonz Lights Please compatible with Enderal and I need help with the script

[jamerkane34]

At first I thought that changing the values of the FormIDs in the Quest section to the correct one would do the trick.

 

But then I realized that the problem is the script. Magelight in Enderal has a different name so the script can't call it so it just returns "Unable to cast because you don't know that spell". Anyway I opened up the script for Jaxonz Lights Please:

scriptName JaxonzLightsPlease extends Quest

{Simple utility to improve Candlelight and Magelight casting}

;-- Properties --------------------------------------

sound property sndFail auto

globalvariable property giMageLightHotkey auto

spell property splMageLight auto

globalvariable property giCandleLightHotkey auto

actor property actPlayer auto

globalvariable property gfTimeScale auto

spell property splCandleLight auto

;-- Variables ---------------------------------------

Bool bCandleLightOn = false

;-- Functions ---------------------------------------

; Skipped compiler generated GetState

function CastCandleLight()

if actPlayer.GetActorValue("Magicka") >= splCandleLight.GetEffectiveMagickaCost(actPlayer) as Float

actPlayer.DamageActorValue("Magicka", splCandleLight.GetEffectiveMagickaCost(actPlayer) as Float)

splCandleLight.Cast(actPlayer as objectreference, none)

self.RegisterForSingleUpdate((splCandleLight.GetNthEffectDuration(0) - 1) as Float)

else

sndFail.Play(actPlayer as objectreference)

debug.Notification("Insufficient magicka to renew Candlelight, retry in 5 seconds...")

self.RegisterForSingleUpdate(5.00000)

endIf

endFunction

function OnUpdate()

if bCandleLightOn

self.CastCandleLight()

endIf

endFunction

function OnKeyDown(Int KeyCode)

if !utility.IsInMenuMode()

if KeyCode == giCandleLightHotkey.GetValueInt()

if actPlayer.HasSpell(splCandleLight as form)

bCandleLightOn = !bCandleLightOn

if bCandleLightOn

self.CastCandleLight()

else

actPlayer.DispelSpell(splCandleLight)

endIf

else

debug.Notification("Unable to cast Candlelight because you don't know that spell")

endIf

elseIf KeyCode == giMageLightHotkey.GetValueInt()

if actPlayer.HasSpell(splMageLight as form)

if actPlayer.GetActorValue("Magicka") >= splMageLight.GetEffectiveMagickaCost(actPlayer) as Float

actPlayer.DamageActorValue("Magicka", splMageLight.GetEffectiveMagickaCost(actPlayer) as Float)

splMageLight.Cast(actPlayer as objectreference, none)

else

sndFail.Play(actPlayer as objectreference)

endIf

else

debug.Notification("Unable to cast Magelight because you don't know that spell")

endIf

endIf

endIf

endFunction

; Skipped compiler generated GotoState

function OnSettingsChanged()

self.UnregisterForAllKeys()

self.RegisterForKey(giCandleLightHotkey.GetValueInt())

self.RegisterForKey(giMageLightHotkey.GetValueInt())

endFunction

function OnInit()

self.OnSettingsChanged()

endFunction

What's the correct variable for Enderal Magelight so that it can be called properly? I know there are other mods like Quick Light that can accomplish what I want, but I want to take this chance to learn how it works.

To make this work on Enderal, looks like you just need to change the spell properties, and by change I mean fill the properties with the light spells used in Enderal in the Creation Kit. To do this, open the quest this script is attached to, go to the scripts tab and double click on the script to switch the property values.
