@Vain If you are not using it yet I highly recommend the usage of Notepad++ for your script work - it has a language definition for papyrus on the nexus wiki as far as i recall. That helps a lot to get the structure right and also indent and open/close sections properly.

@Willie and Brett This discussion has been very fruitful and informative for lurkers like me . Too bad such vital info is going to be buried in a single script-help thread others might never look at

Not sure if i understand your intentions right but i guess the solution would be something like this: Event OnEquipped(Actor akActor) if akActor == Game.GetPlayer() akActor AddToFaction Faction FactionRank endIf endEvent The event is called on the object you are going to equip.

To my best knowledge there is no script function that allows you to 'catch' the fire/release-string-of-bow-state. Which makes it kind of hard to achieve what you explain. If you would slow time when you hit something that would be something different. You could achieve that by creating special ammo that has the slow time effect - the magic effect is called VoiceSlowTimeEffect. You would need to attach that to your ammo. The other option i see if you insist on scripting would be to check for the controls - you can get the release state of the pressed buttons/controls and then 'fire' your slowtime magic effect whenever that particular button/control is released. As Brett suggested the Steady Hand perk: It changes the bowspeedbonus - that means actor value "bowspeedbonus" affects the speed of the world around you when you draw an arrow - and any actor value can be set/changed via a script of course. Normal value for it is 1 and it would have to be set to something lower like 0.5 or 0.25 to actually affect speed of the world around you.

Welcome to TESA shinny - and here is yet another

I still wonder why you didnt follow the advice from Willie and just stop the combat regardless if hostile to you or not. As he said: Reason for combat might not be the actor himself but belonging to a certain hostile faction. And OnUpdate says clearly: Event called periodically if the active magic effect/alias/form is registered for update events. Thats exactly what you want, right?

welcome to TESA then

I am not a script guru but i have a remark to start with: For some of the named NPCs you might run into a setting found in the AI settings tab called 'helps nobody'. Only if they are set to help friends and/or allies your magic effect would work. As of your first question my best bet is that you have to stop combat of the target NPC before moving them into the faction. As i read it they are still in combat mode and the additional faction wont stop the already active combat anymore as its the AI package controlling that.

Thanks to both of you for the input - helped a lot. I switched from full hd packages to the lite ones a month ago so the load has been reduced compared to my original setup which had many ctds etc. My version of the 5570 would fit into the socket - checked that before asking for advice. But your hint regarding the memory speed was very helpful Arion - i wasnt aware of that. So i am going to stick to the current card until i have another 200euro to spend on a brand new one again

This is a bit technical probably but i am at loss to make a proper decision. Right now i am running my PC with a Radeon HD 6670 with 1gb vram. I am basically happy with the look and performance of my Skyrim but during a minor cleaning of my stuff i came across my HD 5570 with 2gb vram. Now i am uncertain if it would be smarter to use that one instead of the 6670 due to the higher amount of vram. I should add that i am not using ENBs - only texture packs and lightning mods. Would the HD 5570 be the better choice maybe? I only have 1 PCIE slot - so using both is not an option

Oh my - just figured i still have Kotor2 on my disc - looking forward to this!

Welcome LP

There goes my perfect body mass index - look at all those cookies. Thank you for all of them

jummy - thank you and here is one back

Hello TESA, i have been silently around for a bit already and since i am relocating completely to your site i thought it might be a good idea to say hello to everyone. My first contact with TES games had been Oblivion and Skyrim was a natural follow up. I have to admit that i used to 'live' on the Nexus site but due to certain events i decided to leave them for good. I started modding Skyrim in the first quarter of this year and released 1 mod to the public - most of my modding has been silent work on my own system so far as i didnt deem it organized and clean enough to be released to anyone else. I am looking forward to spent my time here and started taking the classes to get more organized around my modding work and to extent my knowledge into those fields that are still a black box for me or where i have been learning things by doing them my way - which wasnt always a very smart approach regards Dwiss
