Bind

Bind Papyrus Scripts On Game Load

Papyrus Development

This is a Developer Tool: for testing Papyrus scripts!

Usage

1. Install Bind (it's an SKSE .dll compatible with SE/AE/GOG/VR)
2. Create a Papyrus script

   if you want it to extend a Quest or ObjectReference, specify an extends

3. Create a file Data\Scripts\Bindings\<your mod name>.txt
4. Put the name of each of your scripts in the file, one line per script

   MyScriptOne
   MyScriptTwo
   

5. Run the game!

   Each of your scripts will automatically be bound to a game object and the event OnInit() of each script will run

Specifying what to bind the script to.

If you create scriptName Whatever extends Quest, it will bind to an generated quest.

If you create scriptName Whatever extends ObjectRefenrence, it will bind to a generated object.

If you create scriptName Whatever extends Actor, it will bind to the Player.

If you want to extend a specific object, see the v1 details below for this release.

SomeScript 0x123
SomeScript AnEditorID

Logs

ℹ ️ If you run into any problems, check the SkyrimScripting.Bind.log in your My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\SKSE\ folder.

v1

The goal for v1 is to be as minimal as possible:

• Bindings are defined in Scripts\Bindings\
• Each file should contain 1 line per desired "binding" (attach script to something)
• Support for binding to objects by Form ID

  NameOfScript 0x14
  

• Support for binding to objects by Editor ID

  NameOfScript dlc1serana
  

• Support for binding to the Player (as an Actor Form, not a ReferenceAlias)

  NameOfScript $Player
  

• Support for binding to an anonymous/generated Quest

  NameOfScript $Quest
  

• Support for binding to an anonymous/generated Quest with a provided editor ID

  NameOfScript $Quest(MyCoolQuest)
  

• Support for binding to an anonymous/generated ObjectReference

  NameOfScript $Object
  

  Objects are ALWAYS placed in the WEMerchantChests cell. This is not configurable.

• Support for binding to a generated ObjectReference of a specified base Form ID

  NameOfScript $Object(0x7)
  

• Support for binding to a generated ObjectReference of a specified base Editor ID

  NameOfScript $Object(FoodSweetroll)
  

• Support for determining what to bind to automatically based on script extends

  NameOfScript
  

  scriptName NameOfScript extends Quest ; Anonymous Quest
  scriptName NameOfScript extends Actor ; Player
  scriptName NameOfScript extends ObjectReference ; Anonymous Object
  scriptName NameOfScript extends CustomType ; CustomType parent(s) checked

• Binding to objects from mods (if you don't know the full Form ID) is not supported in v1
• Nothing is configurable
