[LE] Show script's 'count' number on a message ?

Hi JustChill.

Good to know about one more papyrus flaw...

Unfortunately in order to be sure that your script will make your idea work as intended is to actually build the idea and test it in game, otherwise just making the script based on what "creationkit.com" saids might result in ending up with an idea that it will just won't work in game...

If it wasn't so late for the game, i would create a page where all papyrus flaws could be cataloged by anyone that finds them + with the appropriate workaround for it, but it's too late now.

No worries, I already used it for my boss battle. ^^

 

A player could drag or use spellcraft to bring these corpses out of position.

So I teleport them back into their initial editor position. :smile:

 

 

Oh about the end, it's actually meant for her to be in Ghost status.

I still need to implement her reviving casts for the corpses though.

 

Unfortunately I just can invest around 2 to 3 hours during the week. Looking forward to the weekend. :D

 

Jerking around with the engine feels currently pretty entertaining. ^^

 

 

 

Even though I am really not a fan of this disimprovement, I think I just have a bit of an enthusiasm for the Creation Engine right now.

But definitely happy that I am not the only one who speaks bad about zhe Papyrus.

Ah, I am late at that one too. XD

Just as a minor addition...

As I now also added a fancy effect shader for the corpses re-appearing on position.

They will also re-appear if they are already in position, but I don't mind that feature. It mainly should just prevent the player of f***ing up the boss battle. ^^

 

 

 

Oh, and as a note for people who may be very unfamiliar of how the Nexus forum code works.

If you use the "Preview Post" function and have a

CODE

segment in your post, the forum software will automatically add new empty lines after any line in your code segment. :wink:

 

I personally dislike that function myself, but I guess it's there for a reason?
