Is it possible to change the text in a book through a script?

[Smig]

The question may seem odd. A book's text isn't supposed to change, I know. The reason is that the player is supposed to tamper with evidence (a letter) and I'd like the changes to appear if you read it.

 

I looked through the CK wiki and couldn't find anything to change that text...

What you can do is write two letters and have a script switch them out at the appropriate time.

For little pieces of text there are the "text replacements" (related to aliases, global values, etc).

 

If you want a big replace, follow David's advice.

 

At the point you want the switch, script a silent removeitem/additem in the player's inventory.

 

Or if the letter is somewhere in the world use a placeatme.

I solved it like that, I just replaced it with a copy depending on the player's actions. The text replacements also sound useful, I'll look into it.

 

Thank you both!
