How to use a variable from a different script?

[PrincessBridget]

Hi. How do get a script to read a variable from a different script? Like example, say I have script1 and script2... I want script2 to be able to read a variable called cooldown from script1. But when I try it, it says "unknown command 'cooldown'!"

Let's say that script1 is attached to Quest1. To access it from script2, you need to use Quest1.cooldown. I know it works with scripts attached to quests since I've done that, and I've seen scripts from vanilla oblivion use variables from scripts attached to objects or NPCs. I don't think it works with magic scripts, but I don't know.

I think you can do it with

let x := sv_construct "Scriptname.Variablename"

With a check that x != 0 after as well. Just to be safe.

Sorry, that should be

SET x TO sv_constr...

Oh wait, you just want from another script, not from another script in another mod. So yeah, just what fg109 said.

Yep but that would've been my next question eventually! :D Thank you both, I got it working with the quest thing! (I'm soon about to release my mod based on Stealth Camouflage from Metal Gear Solid)
