ThornsWisdom Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I am new to papyrus. Some of the psc files extend hidden "forms" and do nothing else ;like action.psc. Can I get some help understanding this, please. Where are these hidden "forms" and why are they hidden. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsharaMeradin Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Hidden in this case is a script flag. It basically hides the script from the list of scripts that appear when you are attaching one or more scripts to an object in the Creation Kit. More information: http://www.creationkit.com/Flag_Reference In your example:Action.psc extends the script FormAction.psc is then marked Hidden so that it does not appear in the list of attachable scripts As far as action.psc doing nothing else... Bethesda probably anticipated using it but ended up doing things differently. Like many unused things they left it in a state where it would cause no harm to the game.

scrivener07 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Hidden means the script was not intended to directly have an instance. Script instances are created by attaching them to Forms (Hidden prevents this). These scripts are intended to be extended or contain global functions. The empty scripts are not unused. These are the base object scripts for Forms you see in the CK object browser. You could add your own functions to these base scripts and every object of that type will have the new function built in. It is bad practice to edit the base scripts with SKSE being the exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
