Is there such a thing as global variables in papyrus like in c++?

in this case a variable that I can declare outside of an event.

 

a global variable that takes the value of an ActorValue?

Yes, you can use global variables. You can set the value within the CK or within any script event. You can get the value within any script event or condition (effects, dialog, etc). See GlobalVariable Script for available functions.

I can't seem to figure this out, I've tried most things but to no avail.

 

I'm trying to make the player's magicka bar drain by a certain percentage 0.0023% of his maximum magicka, I've tried doing it, waiting for 12 hours expecting for my magicka to deplete almost completely but it doesn't, nothing happens.

Post your script. Here would be my attempt:

float MagickaDamage
Actor Me

Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)

	Me = AkTarget
	MagickaDamage = Me.GetBaseActorValue("Magicka") * 0.000023
	Me.DamageActorValue("Magicka", MagickaDamage)
	RegisterForSingleUpdate(1.0)
endEvent

Event OnUpdate()

	Me.DamageActorValue("Magicka", MagickaDamage)
	RegisterForSingleUpdate(1.0)

EndEvent

Event OnEffectFinish(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)

	UnregisterForUpdate()

endEvent

Totally untested, of course.

[Kerberus14]

Function RegisterForUpdateGameTime(float afInterval) native

Event OnPlayerLoadGame()

RegisterForUpdateGameTime(0.1) ; 

endevent





Event OnUpdateGameTime()





messagebox to check if event is triggered

Added a spell that deals damage to magicka and changed magnitude using a formula.





endevent

this was just a test to see if it works, the script won't even trigger.

Is there a papyrus script function that involves altering recovery times through a script?

[lofgren]

 

Function RegisterForUpdateGameTime(float afInterval) native

 

 

 

Event OnPlayerLoadGame()
RegisterForUpdateGameTime(0.1) ; 
endevent


Event OnUpdateGameTime()

Well what is it attached to?

[Kerberus14]

To a MagicEffect.

[lofgren]

OK, so you add the ability or cast the spell on the player, then you save the game, then you exit the game, then you load the game, and through all of that you get no feedback from your script whatsoever?

 

Also I am curious, why do you need an OnPlayerLoadGame() event? Why don't you just register for the update using OnEffectStart() like I did above?

[Kerberus14]

I will now, and yes, no feedback, nothing.

[Kerberus14]

If PlayerRef.HasPerk(PerkRef)==1

Magicka Drained by 0.0023% of total magicka.

 

I want just this line to run every second in the game.

I'll even attach it to the player to make sure.
