Location discovered check?

[mjenmae]

I'm looking for a scripting solution that checks whether or not the player has discovered a named location. I've Googled, and grepped the existing skyrim scripts but haven't been able to find anything I can use. It feels like it ought to be relatively simple, but I haven't managed to figure it out!

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You could check the discovery with CanFastTravelToMarker. If the player hasn't discovered it yet, then it would return False. Or you could probably just check whether or not the map marker of the location is enabled, since I believe "discovery" is just a matter of the marker becoming enabled when the player is close enough. I'm not sure how that happens, but you might look to see if map markers have some kind of script attached to them that handles this, which might give you some ideas.

 

Edit: There is also IsMapMarkerVisible that might help. The marker may count as visible, though, if some book or map or conversation places it on your map, even if you haven't been close enough to enable it for fast travel.

Thank you for your suggestion. I took a look through the existing scripts and found these snippets..

 

ReferenceAlias Property MapMarker Auto

If (MapMarker.GetRef().CanFastTravelToMarker() == True)

 

I haven't tried implimenting it yet, but this is definitely a step in the right direction!

googled and 'grepped' ... omg ... UNIX !!!

Hey, the PC versions of Unix utilities can be quite useful.

Especially stuff like sed/awk. (Though I don't know if they exist for windows.)

[BrettM]

Yes, even sed and awk are available. The GnuWin32 utilities are pretty good, and include gawk (gnu awk).
