• the local player script is used for quest stage and

• the global for defining, creatng and giving the item </aside>

<aside> 🔥

how to make

omwscripts file

<aside> ⚙

• you need to make this file for the engine recognize and load the scripts and is normal text file with omwscripts file extension name like
• sjek_tutorials.omwscripts
  • this contains only the text lines
  • PLAYER: quest_local.lua GLOBAL: quest_global.lua
• if you want to make comment, can do it with # in front
  • `# comment

  another comment`

# scripts to load on quest reward

PLAYER: quest_local.lua
GLOBAL: quest_global.lua  

</aside>

<aside> ⚠️

You can then put this file somewhere into selected data files or make a new folder and select it in the launcher.

omwcscripts file should show up in the data files tab. you can select it active now or any stage of script making for testing.

• note that for reloading you need to restart the game compared to lua files </aside>

making the player script

<aside> ✅

• first: as this is happening on quest stage we can use onQuestUpdate enginehandler
• this at the bottom of the script
• altho you can move code below while commenting it out with a -- or placing the code inside --[[ code ]]

-- this happens registering the handler in a script with a return
return { engineHandlers = { onQuestUpdate = onQuestUpdate } } 

</aside>

<aside> 🎸

• let’ use function style blocks for this example
• for this to work. at least on my end i need to define the condition above the function block, meaning here quest journal MS_FargothRing and stage 10

local questid = { MS_FargothRing = 10 } -- quest and stage

local function onQuestUpdate( questid ) 
	-- do stuff
end

</aside>

so code can be looking like this atm

local questid = { MS_FargothRing = 10 }

local function onQuestUpdate( questid )

end

return { engineHandlers = { onQuestUpdate = onQuestUpdate } } 

-- commented out code, single line
-- [[ commented out code, can be multiline ]]

<aside> ♻️

now let’s bring in some requires on top of the script

-- for prefencing the player 
		local self = require('openmw.self')
		
-- and for sending the event 
		local core = require('openmw.core')
