I found a bug in Skyrim

Hi.

 

I came across this bug when I was trying to make fireplaces dangerous in one of my mods (which I succeeded with, by the way.)

I was advised to check out the "BlacksmithForge01" script by Bethesda; which is attached to the "CraftingBlacksmithForgeWR" furniture. Here is the script:

 

 

 

scriptName  BlacksmithForge01 extends ObjectReference
import Debug

spell property FlameDamage Auto

EVENT onActivate ( objectReference triggerRef )
playAnimation("activate")
endEvent

Event OnTriggerEnter ( objectReference triggerRef )
if (triggerRef == Game.GetPlayer())
	FlameDamage.Cast(triggerRef, triggerRef)
endIf
endEvent

 

 

 

As you can see it forces the player to cast "FlameDamage" on him/her-self. This is all good.

 

The problem, though, is that the Magic Effect ("HazardFireDamageFFContact") that the player is affected by belongs to the Destruction Magic School.

-Meaning that entering the forge actually increases the player's Destruction Magic skill ever so slightly.

 

It would be easy to fix this by copying "HazardFireSpell" and "HazardFireDamageFFContact"; change the Magic School to "None" and make the copies unique for the "CraftingBlacksmithForgeWR" furniture.

 

I don't consider this a serious bug, since it takes so much time to actually gain any skill in Destruction Magic this way. I'm just wondering if anyone would be interested in a tiny bug fix mod for this? (Maybe someone is working on a big mod with lots of tiny bug fixes like this.)

-Or better still; is there a way to report this bug to Bethesda so that they might fix it in a future patch?

Add to that a bunch of fire resistance armor and you could grind Destruction while AFK.

 

Since it's "OnTriggerEnter()" your character has to leave and enter the forge. I guess this can be done with a "jump script" or whatever.

 

I'd be willing to bet that the experience gained is set to zero. Have you actually tested to see if you can level this way? It might now be a bug at all.

 

I don't know about levelling up the character, but I did test levelling up the Destruction Magic skill. I got it from 16 to 18, then I got bored. (It took quite some time.)

 

OffTopic (sort of): The damage the forge does is too small, in my opinion. I haven't tried it in real life but I'm guessing that standing in a blacksmith forge is rather painful and probably lethal.
