Scripts are a huge aspect of Skyrim and tell the game how to work. Anything happening in the game is due to scripts.
This page is intended to be a quick reference sheet for reading certain script functions, and only shows ones of particular used to this wiki—for example, how a quest reward is given or what determines quest progression. For a very thorough list of scripting commands and tutorials on how to write scripts, see the Creation Kit Wiki.
It is not necessary to understand everything a script is saying if you are looking for a particular occurrence. Some terms used here may be better understood by having some familiarity with the Creation Kit.
StuffEdit
- Semicolons (
;) comment out a section. If you see a section starting with a semicolon, it is either commentary about the script or something that was not implemented. - Fragments are run in numerical order despite the order they appear in the script itself.
Questy thingsEdit
- Alias_Alias.Clear()
This removes the alias (object or character important in the quest) from future use in the quest, such as Alias_LexiconCubeBlank.Clear().(?)
- CompleteAllObjectives()
Completes all assigned objectives.
- FailAllObjectives()
Fails all assigned objectives.
- SetObjectiveCompleted(#, #)
This sets a quest objective as completed and moves it from your active objective to a fulfilled one. The first number is the objective number; the second is either a 1 or a 0, 1 indicating success and 0 indicating failure.(?)
- SetObjectiveDisplayed(#, #)
This displays a new quest objective for you to complete. The first number is the objective number; the second is what? 1/0?(?)
- SetStage(#)
This sets the stage in a certain quest when conditions are met, as in SetStage(5). Look within the same fragment for what triggers the new stage. It's also possible to set stages for other quests by adding the quest ID first, as in MQ205.SetStage(80), which is sometimes preceded by an "if" statement in the line before, as in if MQ205.IsRunning().
- Stop()
Ends the quest.
Player effectsEdit
- AddItem
- AddPerk
- Game.GetPlayer()
This affects the player in some way, by adding or removing an item, perk, skill, etc. For example, in DA04, there is Game.GetPlayer().RemovePerk(BloodHarvest). This is also used to give a reward with the format Game.GetPlayer().AddItem(Reward), as in Game.GetPlayer().AddItem(LvlQuestReward02Medium), where LvlQuestReward02Medium is the editor ID of a specific object or leveled list.
- PlayIdle
UnsortedEdit
- AddToMap()
This adds a map marker to the world map, such as AlftandMapMarker.AddToMap().
- Disable()
Disables an object, as in ElderScroll.Disable().
- Enable()
Enables an object, as in ElderScroll.Enable().
- MakePlayerFriend()
This makes an NPC a friend of yours, allowing you to take small items from their home and perhaps marry them. In quests, it may be marked as Alias_Alias.GetActorRef().MakePlayerFriend(), as in Alias_Halbarn.GetActorRef().MakePlayerFriend().
