Book script currently used in TR:

Perform an action when the player opens a book or a scroll

 

begin your_script_name

short OnPCEquip
short PCSkipEquip

set PCSkipEquip to 0
; any actions that might end the script must be placed lower than this line

; Activating from the inventory
if ( MenuMode )
    set PCSkipEquip to 1

    if ( OnPCEquip )

        ; place actions for when the player opened the book from the inventory here

        set OnPCEquip to 0
        set PCSkipEquip to 0
        Activate
    endif

    return
endif

; Activating in the world
if ( OnActivate )

    ; place actions for when the player opened the book from the world here

    Activate
endif

end

A version with more comments explaining what the script does can be found here, but watch out for the missing line in the beginning (see arvisrend's comment). Also it was written with an older version of OpenMW in mind, so it sadly doesn't work with nightly builds at the time of writing (May 2020)

Your flesh is an insult to the perfection of the digital.
