i need help with a script, mod

[LexCondran]

i just want to make a script that works in summoning an npc

ibegin SUMMONNWAH

if ( MenuMode == 1 )
Return
endif

if ( OnActivate == 0 )
Return
endif

PlaySound3D "bell1"
PlaceAtPC "Summon_An_Nwah_001" 1 68 1

End

it summons them, only after i leave the room, the summon is a Levled creature
it was put on a bell, so the bell rings, and says it worked, but only on leaving the room or exiting and reloading the game, do they appear
i got it to work once, but no idea what to do now

i tried a ton of variations and it just bugs out every time
it summons them only if you leave the room, or reload the game
the sound plays too

had it bug out one time and summon like 5000 nwah

"Summon_An_Nwah_001" its a levled creature because i put it in the arena
it pulls from a list of nwah i made, and spawns a random one
the nwah are just dark elf males/females npcs

------yes i posted the mod

dude, there is 1 mod i really really want
i want to mod the inventory UI to add Ingredients and books to their own pages
Like how we have All - Weapons - Apparell - Magic - Misc

there has to be a way to split books and ingredients off misc into their own box

UI is beyond me, but check out the UI Epansion mod to see how they have done it.
https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/46071
Categories they have are: Weapons, Apparel, Consumables, Ingredients, Tools, Other. You can also search by name and filter.
Its the UI I use. A great QoL mod.

You might like https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/46071 -- it's one of my favorite mods. There are a LOT of really great mods over at Nexus.

It still lumps books in with "other," but it's pretty darned easy to see a book vs. a bowl. It also splits out weapons, armor/clothing, tools/apparatus, ingredients, potions/consumables, etc. And it has a search function so if you're carrying 50 different ingredients, you can type "hound meat" or whatever into the search box.

been messing with my own abomination of a script to add scaling to enemies
randomly adds bonus health, size, agi spd luck wil str based on your level
i was wondering if i could make it global
then every single enemy in the game would gain its buff

[Lobo de hielo]

Sounds like you are already past the first link about basic scripting.
The second link is a collection of a lot of script examples, you might find something of use in there.

just been screwing around with scripts, looking at old scripts in the game
learning a bit by bit

the real thing is dialogue
i wanted to figure out dialogue then + scripts to make quests
add random loot, scaled on level or choices
bethesda really never went the player choice direction in most games
add loot based on your preffered weapon, stats, level
some things in oblivion and skyrim kind of had it, but the devs never tried

i just feel like they put out a vanilla experience and we add sprinkles

i dont even know the full extent of the scripting
but the more you learn the more you can do

had morrowind for like 20 years, i feel ancient now
its still more interesting because they removed so much in oblivion and skyrim

[Lobo de hielo]

Yep. Had it 20 years and just messed with modding a little now and again.
If you are looking to do quests, then try this basic tutorial, it should show a lot of what you need to do.
