Activators[edit]

Bed script[edit]

by Bethesda

begin Bed_Standard

;used for standard beds the player can activate and sleep in

if ( MenuMode == 0)
        if ( OnActivate == 1 )
                ShowRestMenu
        endif
endif
end 

Buttons[edit]

by Nikki

"Activate script"; which would be placed on a button of some sort. You need to make a global variable first, I'll call it "var01", you should name it something with your initials.

begin button01

short State 
float xpos
float ypos
float zpos

if ( MenuMode == 1 ) 
return 
endif 

if ( OnActivate ==1 ) 
if ( State == 0 ) 
set var01 to 1;your global variable
set xpos to ( GetPos, X )
set ypos to ( GetPos, Y )
set zpos to ( GetPos, Z )
PlaySound "cent spider roar" 
set State to 1
endif 
endif 

end 

NOTE: For the mover, use [[Tes3Mod:#Activator wall move|activator wall move script]]

Button activator 2 (a-la Ghostgate)[edit]

Submitted by Zer010, made by Bethesda

Here's the classic button/lever leads to wall/gate/whatever moving script: the MW ghostgate script. This part is put on the activator:

Begin GG_OpenGate1

;opens first gate as Ghostgate (say that 5 times)
;put on button

float timer
short state

if ( MenuMode == 1 )
        return
endif

if ( OnActivate == 1 )
        
        if ( GG_Gate1_State == 0 ) 
                PlaySound "Open Lock"
                "ex_gg_portcullis_01"->Playsound3DVP "Dwemer Door Open" 1.0 1.0
                set GG_Gate1_State to 10
                set state to 10
        endif
endif

if ( State >= 10 )
        
        set timer to ( timer + GetSecondsPassed )

        ;move gate up (210 units)
        if ( timer < 3 )
                "ex_gg_portcullis_01"->MoveWorld z 70

        ;set back to start
        elseif ( timer > 21 )
                        "ex_gg_portcullis_01"->SetAtStart
                        set State to 0          ;can now press button again
                        set GG_Gate1_State to 0
                        set timer to 0

        ;move gate down (210 units)
        elseif ( timer > 18 )

                        ;use state so sound only plays once                     
                        if ( State == 10 )
                                "ex_gg_portcullis_01"->Playsound3DVP "Dwemer Door Open" 1.0 1.0
                                Set State to 20
                        endif

                        "ex_gg_portcullis_01"->MoveWorld z -70

        endif
endif
 


end GG_OpenGate1

It uses a global variable, GG_Gate1_State. Also, the moved bit needs to have this "script":

begin state
short state
end

- which adds a variable to track, although actually I've never seen it being used.

Flushing toilet[edit]

by Pokeapoke

begin flush_script

short state
float timer

if ( MenuMode == 1 )
return
;don't run time in Menu Mode. Very bad.
endif
if ( state == 0 ); flush is off
if ( onActivate == 1 )
 PlaySound3D "Dwemer Door Open"
set state to 1
set timer to 1; will rotate for 1 second while opening
endif
elseif ( state == 1 ); flush is turning
 Rotate X -60; rotates 60 deg/sec
 set timer to ( timer - GetSecondsPassed )
if ( timer <= 0 )
set state to 2
endif
elseif ( state == 2 ); flush is on
PlaySound3D "Dwemer Door Open"
set state to 3
set timer to 1; will rotate for 1 second while closing
endif
elseif ( state == 3 ); flush is turning off
 Rotate X 60; rotates 60 deg/sec
 set timer to ( timer - GetSecondsPassed )
if ( timer <= 0 )
 set state to 0
 endif
endif

end flush_script

Hurt actor on contact 1[edit]

begin Collide_damage_100

;hurts a standing actor 100 pts per sec when colliding with this object

HurtCollidingActor 100

End

Hurt actor on contact 2[edit]

by Regaez

The most basic of all scripts!

Begin Rz_stake

if( MenuMode == 1)
    Return
Endif

HurtCollidingActor 10; when actor walks into the stake it takes off 10 points of health

End Rz_stake

Invisible activator[edit]

Here is a different version of the abovementioned script which will make the wall rise when you get near an invisible marker, the "trigger script". I recommend using the activator mesh with the sound effect scripts on them. You can use the same global variable as the above script but you should not use them both in the same cell.

Create your own “var01” using the gameplay > Globals menu and selecting new and giving your global a unique id. Replace var01 with this ID.

begin trigger01_script

short doonce 


if ( MenuMode == 1 ) 
return 
endif 

If ( GetDistance, Player <= 128 )
if ( doonce == 0 ) 
set var01 to 1;your global variable
set doonce to 1
endif
endif

end

Note: for the mover, use [[Tes3Mod:#Activator wall move|activator wall move script]].

Light switch[edit]

by Regaez

The lightswitch script – attach this to your switch object. Rz_light is a global variable (Short).

Begin Rz_lights

short MessageOn
short button

if( MenuMode == 1)
    Return
endif

if( OnActivate == 1)
    Set MessageOn to 2
endif    

if( MessageOn == 2)
    MessageBox "Which light would you like on?" "Normal" "Green" "Blue" "Red" "Off";asks which lights to turn on
    Set MessageOn to 1
endif

if( MessageOn == 0)
    Return
endif

if( MessageOn == 1)
    set button to GetButtonPressed
        if( button == 0) 
            Set MessageOn to 0
            Set Rz_light to 1
            Return
        endif
        if( button == 1)
            Set MessageOn to 0
            Set Rz_light to 2
            Return
        endif
        if( button == 2)
            Set MessageOn to 0
            Set Rz_light to 3
            Return
        endif
        if( button == 3)
            Set MessageOn to 0
            Set Rz_light to 4
            Return
        endif
        if( button == 4)
            Set MessageOn to 0
            Set Rz_light to 5
            Return
        endif
endif

End Rz_lights

This next script is what you place on the individual lights. This is for the “normal” lighting. Copy this and place it on your other colored lights – you will just need to change the enable/disable to their corresponding variable value. I'll list it for you:

Norm, enable if( Rz_light == 1)

Green, enable if( Rz_light == 2)

Blue, enable if( Rz_light == 3)

Red, enable if( Rz_light == 4)

All lights, disable if ( Rz_light == 5)

Begin Rz_lights_norm

if( MenuMode == 1)
    Return
endif

if( Rz_light == 0)
    Disable
endif

if( Rz_light == 1)
    Enable
endif

if( Rz_light == 2)
    Disable
endif

if( Rz_light == 3)
    Disable
endif

if( Rz_light == 4)
    Disable
endif

if( Rz_light == 5)
    Disable
endif

End Rz_lights_norm

Reset activator[edit]

by Nikki

Now here is a script you should place on another invisible activator in the room to reset the global variable when you leave the cell so you can use the script over and over.

begin var_reset01

if ( MenuMode == 1 )
return
endif

if ( CellChanged == 1 )
set var01 to 0; the name of your global variable
endif

end

Teleporting the player[edit]

by Zer010

Here's a script that makes an object teleport the player somewhere upon activation. It's supposed to look better in game than a more simple teleportation because it uses fades. I haven't actually used it myself yet. You need to create 3 new global float variables for it: My_PC_X, My_PC_Y, My_PC_Z (replace "my" with something unique).

Begin player_placement
;Global Float My_PC_X
;Global Float My_PC_Y
;Global Float My_PC_Z
Float xpos
Float ypos
Float zpos
Float timer
Short step
If ( OnActivate == 1 )
Set step to 1
Endif
If ( step == 1 )
FadeOut 0.1
ToggleMenus
Set step to 2
Return
Elseif ( step == 2 )
Set timer to ( timer + GetSecondsPassed )
If ( timer > 0.2 )
Set timer to 0
Set step to 3
Endif
Return
Elseif ( step == 3 )
Set step to 0
Player->COE 0 0
Set xpos to My_PC_X
Set ypos to My_PC_Y
Set zpos to My_PC_Z
ToggleMenus
MenuTest
MenuTest
Player->SetPos x xpos
Player->SetPos y ypos
Player->SetPos z zpos
FixMe
Player->SetPos x xpos
Player->SetPos y ypos
Player->SetPos z zpos
FadeIn 0.1
Endif
End

Weather controller (static)[edit]

by Regaez

Here is a script I just recently wrote – and it works! It randomly changes the weather when you activate it. It is static, so you can’t pick it up. I attached it to the dwemer puzzle box – it seemed to fit the script nicely!

Making creatures appear by invisible activator[edit]

by Nikki

This one however makes monsters or NPCs warp into existance when you get near a certain invisible marker.

First make a global variable. Call it something like "warp var01". Now attach this script to the enemy you want to do the warping:

begin warpCreat01_script

short state
short playonce
short doonce
float timer
float xpos
float ypos
float zpos

if ( MenuMode == 1 )
    return
;don't run time in Menu Mode. Very bad.
endif

if ( GetDisabled == 0 )
If (state==0)
Disable
set state to 1
endif
endif

if ( warp var01 == 1 ) 
If ( doonce == 0 )
set xpos to ( GetPos, X )
set ypos to ( GetPos, Y )
set zpos to ( GetPos, Z )
set zpos to ( zpos +30 )
Placeitem "sprigganup" xpos ypos zpos 0
Enable
set doonce to 1
set playonce to 1
endif
endif

If ( playonce == 1 )

set timer to ( timer + GetSecondsPassed )    

If ( timer >= 0.50 )
SetFight 100
Startcombat Player
Set playonce to 2
endif
endif

end

And of course the good ol' trigger script to cause the warp to take effect when you get near the invisible marker. I recommend using the activator mesh with the sound effect scripts on them. You can use the same global variable as the above script but you should not use them both in the same cell.

begin WarpTrig01_script

short doonce 


if ( MenuMode == 1 ) 
return 
endif 

If ( GetDistance, Player <= 128 )
if ( doonce == 0 ) 
set warp var01 to 1
set doonce to 1
endif
endif

end

Just place the scripted enemy in the cell wherever you want them to appear. You can use as many of them as you want, so you could have ten of them appear to surround the player when they get near an important item. They dont just appear out of thin air either, they appear with a flash of light and pause for a split second before attacking which makes the effect seem more interesting. Oh, make sure to set their fight AI to 0 otherwise the pause will be negated.

Again, like the scripts in the above post, you must reset the variable when you leave the cell; see the [[Tes3Mod:#Reset script|reset script]]. That way the script can be used again and again.

Summon a creature on activating an item[edit]

Visual effect on death[edit]

Submitted by Midgetalien

Here's one which places a special effect when a creature dies. It also disables the creature i.e making look like it diseapered in the magical vortex. If you want the creature's corpse to still be there, then just remove the disabled part.

If ( OnDeath == 1 )
    PlaceAtMe sprigganup 1 1 1; Visual effect
    Disable    
endif

Fixed versions of Dongle's and Indigo Rage's display cases scripts[edit]

These were not included in the original compilation - MWMWiki

The following modifications of the abovementioned scripts were submitted by Cantorsdust. They described the problem with the original scripts as follows: "The fundamental problem, as far as I could tell, was this: The containers had 4 animations. Idling closed, opening, idling open, and closing. For whatever reason, the closing animation refused to allow the idling animation to take over after the appropriate time. So I changed the animation function to interrrupt, rather than wait for the previous animation to finish, then adjusted the timers so that the animation interrupted at just the right time."

Doors[edit]

Air lock script[edit]

by Regaez

This is the airlock script. Place this on the desired switch. Waterlev and waterstate are global variables (short).

Begin Rz_airlock_switch

if( OnActivate == 1)
    set waterlev to (waterstate + 300)
    set waterstate to (waterstate + 600)
endif

if( waterstate > 0)
    ModWaterLevel, -0.5
    set waterstate to (waterstate - 1)
endif

if( MenuMode == 1)
    return
endif

End Rz_airlock_switch

Place this script on the door that you exit from – to the flooded area (you usually enter from this door).

Begin Rz_airlock_exitdoor

short height

if( MenuMode == 1)
    return
endif

if( OnActivate == 1)
    set height to waterlev
    ModWaterLevel, height;this resets the water level when you leave the airlock
    Activate
endif

End Rz_airlock_exitdoor

Place this script on the door which leads to the rest of the cell – the area which is not flooded. You may need to play around with values depending on what the original waterlevel was – I think I set mine to 15000.

Begin Rz_airlock_flooddoor

if( MenuMode == 1)
    return
endif

if( OnActivate == 1)
    if( GetWaterLevel > 14750)
        MessageBox "You need to drain the room of water first, before opening this door."
    elseif (GetWaterLevel < 14750)
        Activate
    endif
endif

End Rz_airlock_flooddoor

Automatically closing doors[edit]

by Enmesharra

I hate having doors opened all over the place about as much as I hate having to always stop and close the door. So I created this simple but useful script for my house mod. Put this on a door and the door will close by itself 5 seconds after being opened.

Begin ZZA_Door_close_script

Short ContVar
float timer

  ;if the door should happen to get messed up or if the player leaves the cell while a door is not finished
  ;closing itself this resets everything whenever the player enters the cell
If ( cellchanged > 0 )  
    SetAtStart
    Set ContVar to 0
endif

If ( ContVar == 0 )
    If ( OnActivate )
        Activate
        set ContVar to 1
        set timer to 0
    Endif
Elseif ( ContVar == 1 )
    If ( OnActivate )       ;if the player closes the door by hand
        set timer to 6
    Endif
    set timer to timer + GetSecondsPassed
    If timer > 5
        Activate
        set ContVar to 0

Create a door using a rug model like f\Furn_rug_01.nif. Give it a name like "Handwoven Rug" and attach this script. Set the reference data to locked, level 0, with any trap spell.

This is the teleporting ring script. Attach it to a ring (duh). It is currently set to teleport you to Balmora Square. It requires you to make a mark ability and a recall ability. And if you don't want to teleport to Balmora Square you'll just have to change the position cell info.

Making objects appear only if the player has an item in their inventory[edit]

by Trey Leavens

This one makes the object it's attached to only appear if the player has a certain item in inventory. It would be pretty cool if you checked for a spell instead of an item, say one which you only got from a faction, since that's not obvious the object appearing would appear to be connected with belonging to said faction.

begin scriptname

Sword in the stone[edit]

by Regaez

Ah, well here's a little "Sword in the Stone" sort of script. Basically you could put it on a sword stuck in the ground. It's pretty basic, but hey! Note (comment from author): “Oh, I'm writing it from memory, as I am not actually on my Morrowind-playing computer at the moment, so it may not be 100% the correct (I sometimes get muddled up with the greater than/less than signs).”

Begin R_strength_test

            if( player-> GetStrength < 60)

            endif
     endif

     if( player-> GetStrength > 59)
            if( player-> GetStrength < 70)

            if( player-> GetStrength < 100)
                  MessageBox, "There is no doubt about it - you shall have the sword with a little more strength in your pull."

Another note from author: “I would just like to make a last minute defense in case this script has some fatal flaws and say that I am not the best at scripting and... oh what the heck, you get the idea! If it's wrong then it's wrong and I'm sure you super dooper scripters out there can fix it in the blink of an eye!”

Journal[edit]

Adding journal entries[edit]

by Cyran0

Well, here is a script that I frequently use in designing quests. It updates the player’s journal upon reading a book or note. It works whether the player reads the note by activating it in the world or equipping the note from inventory.

Begin lgnpc_fq_NoteScript

; Attached to note to trigger a journal update when player reads it.

short readNote
short OnPCEquip
short PCSkipEquip

if ( readNote == 1 )
   return
endif

set PCSkipEquip to 0

if ( OnActivate == 1 )
   if ( GetJournalIndex "lgnpc_fq_X" == 40 )
      Journal "lgnpc_fq_X" 50
      set readNote to 1
   endif
   Activate
   return
endif

if ( menumode == 0 )
   return
endif

set PCSkipEquip to 1

if ( OnPCEquip == 1 )
   if ( GetJournalIndex "lgnpc_fq_X" == 40 )
      Journal "lgnpc_fq_X" 50
   endif
   set readNote to 1
   set OnPCEquip to 0
   set PCSkipEquip to 0
   Activate
endif

End lgnpc_fq_NoteScript

Using the journal to make items ‘appear’[edit]

This script can be placed on an item, activator or NPC to make it appear only after a certain journal entry has been reached. Remember to replace ‘MY_JOUNRAL_INDEX’ with the journal name of the required entry.

Begin Journal_enable_script

if ( GetDisabled == 0 )
        if ( GetJournalIndex MY_JOUNRAL_INDEX < 20 )
                Disable
        endif
elseif ( GetDisabled == 1 )
        if ( GetJournalIndex MY_JOUNRAL_INDEX >= 20 )
                Enable
        endif
endif

Magic regeneration[edit]

This global script makes the PC's (and only the PC's) magicka gradually regenerate. I find it better than sleeping 26 hours at a stretch. Note that the formula can be changed, as well as the time.

begin Global_MagickaRegeneration
     
     float regen
     float timer
     float will
     
     if ( MenuMode == 1 )
         return
     endif
     
     set timer to ( timer + GetSecondsPassed )
     if ( timer < 5 )
         return
     else

On anyone or anything that is interested in the birthsign, put this at the start of their script, so the above is called once and only once:

if ( Pix_g_Birthsign == 0 )
  StartScript Pix_sc_Birthsign
  return
endif

I have tested this to my satisfaction, but it has not been beta-tested.

Detecting player’s facing[edit]

by Clownbaton

This is a script from my current (and first :] ) mod. Its easy to determine in which direction the Player is facing but if you want plot any sort of projectile motion relative to the way the player is facing then you need to know in which Cartesian quadrant you are in and in which direction you are facing. Basically, this script gives you access to your location and your orientation within each quadrant. Each unique state is defined by a value and these values can later be used to correctly plot an object's path. It is supposed to be attached to an equippable object and once the object has been equipped the user can access the data. a simple modification would mean you could run it as a global script.

So I guess you could put this one under "location determination" or "projectile motion update information" or something. I know it sounds like I'm over-complicating it but imagine plotting the course of a catapult's round? Since "SetPos" sets the world coordinates we need this extra orientation information.

Activator wall move[edit]

by Nikki

Now here's a script that will cause a wall to rise up when that button is pressed, or you get near that invisible marker. Make an activator from the wall mesh and attach this script to it.

begin WallMove01_script

float Timer 
short State 

if ( MenuMode == 1 ) 
return 
endif 

if ( var01 == 1 ) 
if ( State == 0 ) 
PlaySound3D "SothaDoorOpen" 
set State to 1
endif 
endif 

if ( State >= 1 ) 

set timer to ( timer + GetSecondsPassed ) 

if ( Timer < 1 ) 
Move, Z, 256
set State to 2
endif 
endif 

end

Use with the actor reset script (link needed)

Rotating objects constantly[edit]

by Nikki

This script will make an object rotate constantly. You should change the X/Y/Z value to alter the axis, the number to alter the speed.

Begin rotate

if ( menumode == 1 )

endif

;spin around

if ( OnActivate == 0 )
    Rotate Z 90            ;  Rotate " this is the Axis"  "this is the speed" 
    return
     
endif

End rotate

Up and down constant movement[edit]

This will make a mover rise and then fall again, constantly.

begin updwn

if ( MenuMode == 0 )

    set uptime to 1    

    set timer to ( timer + GetSecondsPassed )

;move up
    if ( timer < uptime )

        Move Z,2

;movedown

    elseif ( timer < (uptime * 3) )

            Move Z, -2

;up again
    elseif (timer < (uptime * 4 ) )
        Move Z, 2

;reset timer to zero
    else
        set timer to 0
        SetAtStart

    endif

endif

Music[edit]

Overriding battle music[edit]

by Nikki

This script causes a certain music file to be played and overrides battle music. I always thought battle music ruined the element of surprise in MW, as levitation magic ruins the fun of exploration.

First make two rats, one called "music rat 01" and another called "music rat 01b", check the references persist tab on rat01b. Give each of them a constant paralyze ability. Place this script on "music rat 01":

begin no_battle_music

Float timer
Short doOnce

set timer to ( timer + getSecondsPassed )

if ( CellChanged == 1 )
    set doOnce to 0
endif

if ( doOnce == 2 )
    if ( timer > 112 ); insert the length of your track (in seconds) here
        StreamMusic "explore\Morrowind title.mp3"; insert your track name here
        set timer to 0
    endif
    
elseif ( doOnce == 1 )
    if ( timer > 1 )
        StreamMusic "explore\Morrowind title.mp3"; insert your track name here
        set doOnce to 2
        set timer to 0
    endif

elseif ( doOnce == 0 )
    StartCombat "music_rat01b"
    set timer to 0
    set doOnce to 1
endif

end no_battle_music

Then place each of them in the cell somewhere where you cant see them like under a rock or something. They will try to fight one another but wont be able to move due to the paralyse ability. The music file you scripted on the other one will loop over and over as long as you are in the cell and will not be interuppted by battle music.

I got this idea from another poster on this forum but the original had just one rat that attacked the player. The problem with that version is that any NPCs or creatures with startcombat scripted on them caused battle music to play again. This one is foolproof.

Here’s a simple script to make an npc wear different outfits on different days, for each day of the week, and pjs at night. Substitute or add lines for whatever outfits you want. They do not have to be in their inventory, the equip command adds items and equips them to npcs.

begin laundryscript

short currentday
short localday
short shirtchange
short pajammas

if ( currentday != Day )
 set currentday to day
 set localday to ( localday + 1 )
 set shirtchange to 0
endif

if ( pajammas == 0 )
 if ( gamehour >= 20 )
   equip, "nightgown"
   set pajammas to 1
endif

if ( shirtchange == 0 )

 if ( localday == 1 )
   if ( gamehour >= 6 )
     equip, "extravagant_robe_01_c"
     set shirtchange to 1
     set pajammas to 0
   endif
 endif

 if ( localday == 2 )
   if ( gamehour >= 6 )
     equip, "extravagant_robe_01_h"
     set shirtchange to 1
     set pajammas to 0
   endif
 endif

 if ( localday == 3 )
   if ( gamehour >= 6 )
     equip, "extravagant_robe_01_r"
     set shirtchange to 1
     set pajammas to 0
   endif
 endif

 if ( localday == 4 )
   if ( gamehour >= 6 )
     equip, "extravagant_robe_01_t"
     set shirtchange to 1
     set pajammas to 0
   endif
 endif

 if ( localday == 5 )
   if ( gamehour >= 6 )
     equip, "extravagant_robe_01"
     set shirtchange to 1
     set pajammas to 0
   endif
 endif

 if ( localday == 6 )
   if ( gamehour >= 6 )
     equip, "extravagant_robe_01_a"
     set shirtchange to 1
     set pajammas to 0
   endif
 endif

 if ( localday == 7 )
   if ( gamehour >= 6 )
     equip, "extravagant_robe_01_b"
     set shirtchange to 1
     set pajammas to 0
     set localday to 0
   endif
 endif

endif

end laundryscript

Disposition[edit]

by Melian

This one is VERY simple, but I seem to remember people asking about NPC disposition control a lot in the past. Sets an NPC's in-game (not base) disposition to match a variable NPC_Disp.

begin NPC_local_script

float temp

;short NPC_Disp
;can be local or global, as needed
;can also be a float if you like but not necessary unless you want to mod disp by a float value


if ( MenuMode == 1 )
    if ( NPC_Disp < 0 )
        set NPC_Disp to 0
    elseif ( NPC_Disp > 100 )
        set NPC_Disp to 100
    endif
    set temp to ( GetDisposition )
    set temp to ( NPC_Disp - temp )
    ModDisposition temp
endif

end

The only way to change the NPC's disposition is to set NPC_Disp, nothing else will have any effect. So no "ModDisposition 10", it's "set NPC_Disp to ( NPC_Disp + 10 )".

Enforced clothing for a companion[edit]

by Enmesharra

The concept is for a companion to have their own outfit and not wear the stuff you really just want them to carry for you. This is the simple version, the one I'm using in the mod will allow the player to choose from several outfits.

The script is started in the result box of the companion's greetings. When you give the companion things to carry, if they are more valuable or have a better armor rating then the companions personl stuff then they will immediately put them on. Once the dialog ends this script removes all clothes and re-equips the companion's personal outfit.

The items ZZA_strip_01 through ZZA_strip_05 - are a set of clothing and armor that cover all body parts, ensuring the removal of all clothing/armor. The items ZZA_Comp_outfit_1 and ZZA_Comp_outfit_2 are the companion's personal armor and boots.

The potential for abuse exists in that it is easy for the player to create infinite number of the companion's outfit by removing them each time. When I included checks to see if the companion still posessed the outfit it slowed the redressing down too much (at least in the complicated multioutfit version). If someone is going to exploit this, they can just use the console to give themselves a bunch of money much more easily, so I didn't worry about it. (Except to make the companions outfit only worth 1 gold piece).

Begin ZZA_comp_dress_script

short counter

If ( menumode == 1 )
  return
endif

if ( counter < 3 )      ;when called from a greeting the script will run before menu mode
    set counter to ( counter + 1 );registers, this delay prevents that.
    return
endif

If ( GetHealth <= 0 )                ;just in case
    stopscript ZZA_Slave_nodress_script
    return
endif



equip ZZA_strip_01
equip ZZA_strip_02
equip ZZA_strip_03
equip ZZA_strip_04
equip ZZA_strip_05
removeitem ZZA_strip_01 1
removeitem ZZA_strip_02 1
removeitem ZZA_strip_03 1
removeitem ZZA_strip_04 1
removeitem ZZA_strip_05 1

equip ZZA_Comp_outfit_1
equip ZZA_Comp_outfit_2

set counter to 0

stopscript ZZA_comp_dress_script

end

Guard script[edit]

by Stuporstar

Here's a script to control AIEscorts and make sure they will not follow the player through a door or teleport. It's great for making guards in a particular cell which defend the player but need to stay put. This was contributed to my mod by Arcimaestro Anteres, and consists of two scripts that work together:

Begin Door_EscortControl
; place on door or teleport to prevent escorts following outside

If ( OnActivate == 1 )
    Set NoAIEscort to 1; short global
    Activate
Endif

End
Begin AIEScort_Control
; place on escorting npc or creature to prevent following out of a cell

If ( NoAIEscort == 1 )
    AiWander 0 0 0 0 0
Endif

If ( CellChanged == 1 )
    AiEscort Player 0 0 0 0 0
    If ( NoAIEscort == 1 )
        Set NoAIEscort To 0
    Endif
Endif

End

Note from Yacoby: the guards will not defend the player if they teleport into the cell.

Making NPCs fight[edit]

submitted by Zer010

This script could be placed on one or the other NPC, or even on a hidden activator in their cell if there is some reason you do not want the script attached to an NPC. I do not know what distance you want them for combat to begin, but you can play with the distance value I am using until you are satisfied.

Begin Kite_NPCDuel

short doOnce

if ( doOnce == 1 )
   return
endif

if ( ( “NPC1_ID”->GetDistance “NPC2_ID” ) > 2000 ); change ‘2000’ as needed
   return
endif

set doOnce to 1

“NPC1_ID”->SetFight 100
“NPC2_ID”->SetFight 100
“NPC1_ID”->SetFlee 0
“NPC2_ID”->SetFlee 0
“NPC1_ID”->StartCombat “NPC2_ID”
“NPC2_ID”->StartCombat “NPC1_ID”

End Kite_NPCDuel

Making NPCs fight 2[edit]

This script should be placed on NPC1, and another on NPC2. However, the script for NPC2 should have the locations on NPC1 and NPC2 reversed.

Begin fightNPC1

Short NoLore
short doOnceA

if ( CellChanged == 0 )
    Return
endif


if ( doOnceA == 0 )
        if ( GetDeadCount NPC2 == 0 )
            StartCombat NPC2
            set doOnceA to 1
        endif
endif


End fight NPC1

Making an NPC fight two others[edit]

To make an NPC fight with two NPCs, NPC 1 uses this script, NPCs 2 & 3 use the above script, suitably altered.

Begin fightNPC1

Short NoLore
short doOnceA
short doOnceB
 
if ( CellChanged == 0 )
    Return
endif

if ( doOnceA == 0 )
        if ( GetDeadCount "NPC2" == 0 )
            StartCombat "NPC2"
            set doOnceA to 1
        endif
endif

if ( doOnceB == 0 )
        if ( GetDeadCount "NPC3" == 0 )
            StartCombat "NPC3"
            set doOnceB to 1
        endif
endif

End fightNPC1

Making companions warp to you[edit]

by Grumpy, submitted by Zer010

This script is used a lot, it's Grumpy's companion script which causes a companion to "warp" back to you if it gets too far away ( meaning that it's stuck in a hedge or something ). You still need to put the companion in follow mode through dialogue/script.

float myx 
float myy 
float myz 
float timer 

if ( GetCurrentAIPackage == 3 ) 
if ( Player->GetEffect sEffectLevitate == 1 ) 
AIWander 0 0 0 0 
endif 

if ( GetWeaponDrawn == 1 ) 
return 
elseif ( GetDistance Player > 800 ) 
set timer to timer + GetSecondsPassed 
if ( timer > 8 ) 
set timer to 0 
set myx to ( Player->GetPos x ) 
set myy to ( Player->GetPos y ) 
set myz to ( Player->GetPos z ) 
SetPos x myx 
SetPos y myy 
SetPos z myz 
endif 
endif 
endif 
endif

Mannequins[edit]

Simple mannequin[edit]

by Zer010

A simple mannequin script. This freezes an NPC into position so the player can put armor on them. They're fun but disturbingly detailed for mannequins. The simplest one is this:

begin simple_mannequin
skipanim
end

You put it on an NPC with 0 life and "corpses persist" checked, their body stays upright. Problem is you can get rid of them if you hit "dispose of corpse" when activating them.

Wooden Armor Mannequins[edit]

by Chris Janosi

These are non-weapon wielding & they are moveable so you need the placeholder script, which is provided here also.

;script operates armor mannequins it came from Chris Janosi 
begin SA_mannequin
short button
short questionState
SkipAnim

if ( menumode == 1 )
return
endif
if ( OnActivate == 0 )
if ( questionState == 0 )
return
endif
endif
if ( questionState == 0 )
MessageBox, "Armor Mannequin", "Move Mannequin", "Add/Remove Armor"
set questionState to 1
endif
if ( questionState == 1 )
set button to GetButtonPressed
if ( button == 0 )
set questionState to 10
elseif ( button == 1 )
set questionState to 0
Activate
endif
endif
if ( questionState == 10 )
MessageBox "Did you remove all items from the mannequin?", "Yes", "No"
set questionState to 20
endif
if ( questionState == 20 )
set button to GetButtonPressed
if ( button == 0 )
set questionState to 0
Disable
player->addItem, "_SA_armorman_placeholder", 1
playSound "Item Misc Up"
elseif ( button == 1 )
set questionState to 0
Activate
endif
endif
end SA_mannequin

Armor mannequin placeholder script, used with the above script for Chris Janosi's mannequins:

;script operates armor mannequin placeholders it came from Chris Janosi 
begin SA_mannequinplaceholder
short OnPCDrop
if ( OnPCDrop == 1 )
Disable
; PlaceAtPC, "_SA_ArmorMann_Wooden", 1, 64, 0
PlaceAtPC, "_SA_ArmorMann_Wooden", 1, 0, 0
Set OnPCDrop to 0
endif
end SA_mannequinplaceholder

Pacifying NPCs[edit]

by Lurlock

begin punching_Bag
  short OnPCHitMe

  if ( OnPCHitMe == 1 )
      set OnPCHitMe to 0
      stopCombat, player
;Here's a good place to play some sort of sound or whatever.
  endif
end

Scale[edit]

For the scale of your choice, simply edit the ‘setscale X’ number.

Scale script 1[edit]

Begin ScaleScript
short DoOnce
if ( doOnce == 1 )
    return
endif
SetScale 3.0
set DoOnce to 1
end ScaleScript

Scale script 2[edit]

Begin _scale_20

if ( getscale != 20.00 )
setscale 20.00
endif

End _scale_20

Scale script 3[edit]

begin _scale_5
;replace 5.0 with whatever scale you want it to have

if ( getscale != 5.0 )
setscale 5.0
endif

End

Timer[edit]

By Zer010

Well, here's a timer. Placed on an activator, it'll make it do something five seconds after activation.

begin activate_timer

float timer
short doonce1
short doonce2

if ( OnActivate == 1 )
if ( doonce2 == 0 )
set doonce1 to 0
set doonce2 to 1
set timer to ( timer + GetSecondspassed )
if ( timer > 5 )
if ( doonce1 == 0 )
;do something here
set doonce1 to 1
set doonce2 to 0 
set timer to 0
endif 
endif
endif
end

Or perhaps it would work with timer=5, and one fewer doonce? Dunno...
