detect current player cell in a script?

[pospi]

Hey everyone,

 

I'm pretty new to morrowind scripting, and theres something that bothers me.

 

Is there any way to return the current player cell to a function somehow? I know you can use getPCCell, but that way you have to compare it with every cell identifier string in the game, which is really tedious, and pretty useless if you want a plugin that works with user made landmass plugins.

 

So, any way to quickly and easily find out what cell you are in?

 

cheers!

You can, but only with the MessageBox command. The text "^Cell" within an argument will be replaced with the PC's current cell when the script executes in-game.

Ohh ok, can you use that command within a script or does it only display to console?

 

I want to use it in a script to change the weather in the current cell, as in

 

changeWeather, "CURRENTCELL", 5

 

type thing

That sort of thing was discussed a few months back with a sword that would become an instant lightning rod when equipped -- the only possibility reached was to try the command with the unknown arguments eliminated. It's a definite longshot, but, IIRC, it was not disproven entirely.
