[LE] Any way to know the player is in the sun light?

I would need this for a mod. Is there any way to get a state into papyrus that tells if the player is in the sunlight or in a shadow? The game must at least know the brightness level, for sneaking etc.

Not directly. GetLightLevel sort-of works for brightness, though it doesn't match up great with the actual visual brightness of the area, and then you'd combine it with a test to see if you're in an exterior zone between the appropriate daylight hours. Sufficiently strong non-sunlight sources of illumination might trick this so you'd need to do testing to find acceptable values to test GLL against.

Thanks guys! Will test this out.

Maybe even throw in a GetIsCurrentWeather to check if it's actually sunny weather as opposed to cloud cover, rain, blizzard,or thunderstorms.
