Post useful scripts?

Hi all,

I was just wondering if we could use this forum to place up scripts that other people would find useful.

For instance say you have a script that allows an npc to force a greeting dependant on how many kagouti you had killed, you know that kind of thing.

What do you think?

Well, you've got the question in the right area

Seems like no one wants to put anything in here. It is kind of a pain to copy scripts into the forum, but, well, maybe I'll drop a couple in here that I use quite often - just to start things off, ya know?

That brings up a concern: who's going to sort and categorize them so they stay useful? And will someone test them to make them as useful and efficient as possible?

Well we could do what we used to at Scriptsharing. Post the script within the text, and within the title put a description of the script.

For instance:

Title : Say Hello! Script

Text: forcegreeting

(lame example I know

)

OK, Cep, I put one up. Let's see what happens.

I should post some of the ones I've used in Black Light. But some of the new forums started quickly and others will come up to speed soon.

What kinds of scripts are we talking about?....I have an unfinished mod I was building a few months back that was suposed to be examples of fun ways to use scripts and activators as traps and riddles...

Here's a script to make a dead creature container.
You simply make a container with the desired creature nif and use this script.

begin DieNow

short DoOnce

if (DoOnce != 3) //this number should be the final state of the DoOnce variable after the script is finished
if (DoOnce == 0)
PlayGroup, Death1
set DoOnce to 1
endif

if (DoOnce == 1)
if (GetSoundPlaying, "[First Death Sound]" )
StopSound, "[First Death Sound]"
set DoOnce to 2
endif
endif

if (DoOnce == 2)
if(GetSoundPlaying, "[Second Death SOund]" )
StopSound, "[Second Death SOund]"
set DoOnce to 3
endif
endif
endif

//repeat for all death sounds, in the order they're played

end DieNow

Thanks Rajevir, post scripts as new threads though this way they can be easily located and people can leave comments on them specifically, even bug reports.

Veet! Please show us what you have!

okay I'll dust it off and see what I can do with it...though since I'm leaving tomorow (the 24th) It probably wont be till after new year that I can get it up.

Remember that the "script exploring" thread in this forum holds a *lot' of common useful scripts. I've found most what I've needed there I guess. Also, scripts isn't widely used (and shouldn't really be) before questmaking starts...
