tnu Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I"m slowly but surely getting used to some of the more basic aspects of modding but Iw a nt to know what some of the better ways to identify variables and what they do is. FOr example the difference between DragonsReturned and DragonsEnabled I gave the variables a look and a g ood number of them do look fairly self explanitory like hte ones setting prices of things like Sawn Logs in Hearthfire or defining timescale, date, and time but others are fairly confusing and I'm not sure how to figure out what they do.

lofgren Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Most (but not all) of those variables don't do anything on their own. They're used by scripts or forms. You can right-click on a global variable and select "Use Info" to get a list of all of the places it is referenced so you can go see how it is used. The variables that are not used by scripts or quests, etc. are used by the game engine. These tend to have the most self-explanatory names. You can get a list of the global variables used by the game engine by going to game -> default objects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
