I know the 'PC' is under the NPC list as 'player', but I can't seem to find any scripts that deal with the PC, such as your maximum magicka forumla, strength/encumberence forumla ect.. I've skimmed through the complete script list and nothing resembled this, I didn't go through and read every script though, just looked at names, which seemed to be self explanitory as far as what they deal with.

Am I lookin in the right place? Or are these things not dealt with in scripts.

What I'm trying to do is change the magicka formula from X*Int = Max Magicka to 1* Int + Willpower = Max Magicka. So instead of a normal character (No special Magicka *) having a maximum of 100 Magicka with 100 Intel, they'd have 200 Max Magicka if they have 100 Intel and 100 Willpower.

I'm also trying to add Magicka Regeneration to this, which I'm almost certain deals with a script. (Still new to Modding) Trying to make something along the lines of 1% of Max Magicka is regenerated every 5 seconds, or .2% of Max Magicka regenerated every 1 second. Not sure if I can make it 'pulse' every 5 seconds or just alter it to 1/5 what I want it to regenerate in that time if I can't alter the 'pulse' timer.

Also, I haven't seen it anywhere, but is there a explanitory list of all the visual effects in TES?

Example:
in_v_s_examplewall - Vivec Style Interior Wall
in_v_s_examplecorn - Vivec Style Interior Corner

And so on...

Or is it pretty much a Guess & Check thing? I know they are labeled by type, so they aren't completely scattered, but some can be hard to figure out.

Alright, that's it for now.

Thanks,
-X


*Edit*

I've looked through all kinds of scripting tutorials before posting this, and couldn't find anything dealing with the PC in general, I've seen race, class, birthsign modding tutorials, but nothing that deals with what I'm looking for.

*End Edit*

the formulas are hardcoded in the engine mate ....

though you can tweak it and script around the hardcoded elements ... by scripting something like this

begin blah

short pcwill
short pcintell

Set pcwill to player->GetWillpower
set pcintell to player->GetIntelligence

Player->SetMagicka, ( pcintell + pcwill )

stopscript blah

end

now activate that at the end of chargen

as for regen ... just add an ability or something

much easier than scripting it ... much less time consuming.

Alright thanks, so I'm gonna hafta restart my character to get the magicka formula I want eh? Oh well I'll live, not that far into the game anyway.

Also, I know there are magicka regeneration mods, could I just alter one of those to do what I want? If they add a script that regens mana, then I could just set the values to the ones I want personally right?

Thanks

Yeah you could and no worries mate ... have fun modding and playing.

You don't have to restart your character, just open the console and type in

you could do that yes ... but whenever I state something its so that mod can be shared ... unless you give a readme telling them to startscript blah in the console

But yeah for you character just do that ... though I could never get far in Morrowind ... kept making a new character

Greywolf, was that the exact script I need? (Excluding Blahs and stuff) If so I'll just copy and paste it, if it's alright with you.

it should work if not its just a problem with syntax

Begin Magiscript

Short PCInt
Short PCWill

Set PCInt to ( player->GetIntelligence )
Set PCWill to ( player->GetWillpower )

Player->SetMagicka, ( PCInt + PCWill )

Stopscript Magiscript

end

Says, invalid script on line 9

Begin Magiscript

Short PCInt
Short PCWill

Set PCInt to ( player->GetIntelligence )
Set PCWill to ( player->GetWillpower )

Player->SetMagicka, ( PCInt + PCWill ) (Line 9)

Stopscript Magiscript

end



Tried taking off the , adding a space between ->SetMagicka everything I could think of with my very limited scripting knowledge, any solutions?

Oh, and I can just add that to the startscript list and it will run everytime the game loads and give me Int + Will magicka, correct?

This is the current mana regen script I use, but it regens a little too fast for my taste.

Trying to combine both my scripts into one. My PCInt + PCWill = Max Magica, AND Make my script Regen 1% of Maximum Magicka every 2 seconds*, anyone willing to help me out with this? Both scripts are already written and posted here, not by me, but I'd like to combine them to make my own little script for personal use, or I may post it (With credit where it is due of course)

*(If possible)


Thanks

:/ okay the reason that first script didn't save right is this ... you need to save the script then add the line

Stopscript blah blah ... because if you try to save it before there is no script saved yet for that stopscript to access. That is why you get the error ...

Line (#) function reference object "player" not found.


That's the error that comes up, tried removing the Stopscript command first, then changing the "player" referrence to PC but that didn't work either.



Which umm... is really bad isn't it? Because Player by definition is the PC Unique_ID.. so is there somethin wrong with my MW, or ....?

Okay try this script I've cleaned it up :/ this should work ... I need to take more time into my posts

Begin Magiscript

Short PCInt
Short PCWill
Short PCboth


If ( CharGenState == -1 )

Set PCInt to ( player->GetIntelligence )
Set PCWill to ( player->GetWillpower )
Set PCboth to ( PCInt + PCWill )

Player-> SetMagicka, PCboth

Stopscript Magiscript ; save first then add this line

endif

end

now this should work, if not .... then yeah something must be wrong

Add script to start scripts

Thanks Greywolf, ya have been a ton of help so far, gonna try this out later on tonite then I'll let ya know how it went.

No worries mate ... if it wasn't for university I would of come up with that script earlier ... ... I need sleep.

I know how it is, I'm in school myself (High School) I graduate in 6 days, so I'll be happy then. And I'll have some time to learn some of the more of the scripting language, so in the future I wont need as much help. Gonna try and figure out how to make my magic regen script as well.. but first I want to make a dungeon mod. Which I know how to do pretty much, made a house in a mod, so it's just a matter of a different scructure and adding enemies and unique items.

Now.. I could add this in too, to add more magicka?


ShortPC Lvl

Set PCLvl to ( player->GetLevel )


Set PCboth to ( 2* PCLvl + PCWill + PCInt )


So Intelligence plus Willpower plus double the characters level = max magicka.


Just add that into the original script.
I do this right?

yeah should work

shortPC Lvl = short PCLvl (I take it)

but yes that should work fine
