Scripters: Is there a global cell or something you can hook on too?

[grey79]

So basically I need my script to be run when the game runs.

Not when an object is clicked.

And not when I move into a trigger.

 

Anyone know how to do that?

 

Can I attach my script to the player somehow maybe?

 

EDIT:

Found this later.

You can attach a script to the player actor.

Search for "Player" under actors.

Here's something I did:

 

I need to add a perk the first time a player uses my mod so I made a new quest. The initial stage immediately advanced the quest to the next stage which then ran a script to add the perk to the player.

 

You can see yourself in my mod in my sig, both the destruction and illusion esps have a quest that starts with ocy in the editorid.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Have you figured out how to initialize a property with a complex object?

All the examples seem to only show simple types like float and string.

 

The compiler doesn't like this much:

ObjectReference property riftenMapMarker = "MapMarker 3400CED" auto

Yes, if you're looking at one of my quests you go to the script tab click the script then hit the properties button. When you hit edit value you should be able to select the object you need. I helped another person with properties over here.

Should have been more clear.

I know of what you speak, but the problem is when you change a property in your script you have to reselect it from the GUI - something I was hoping to avoid by supplying the reference IN the script.

:)

 

EDIT

 

Can you post the source of the initializing part of your script?

I've attached it to a quest like yours - but nothing happens.
