[SOLVED] Making an .esm that requires an .esp ?

[Machiavelique]

I'd like sexoutStruggle.esm can use functions and read variables from Stamina.esp but without modify Stamina.esp, is it possible ?

 

I can always ask fallout2AM to add the ESM flag to stamina.esp but it's been 7 years since this mod was last updated, so I doubt it will happen.

I may have a solution by changing sexoutStruggle.esm to .esp (it seems to work) but it will cause difficulties to continue developing SexoutStuggle and difficulties for other modders to use SexoutStruggle in the future.

If you've ever faced this problem and had a solution (or know it's totally impossible), it would be appreciated.

You can use IsModLoaded to check if "Stamina.esp" is enabled, then by using GetFormFromMod and GetVariable you can get stuff that you need (use quest id for variables, script id for calling functions), to modife it use SetVariable

https://geckwiki.com/index.php?title=GetVariable
https://geckwiki.com/index.php?title=SetVariable

this way you don't have to make it master at all

Amazing! I hadn't found these functions.

 

I did a test to get the Stamina value in Stamina.esp from SexoutStruggle and it works very well. Thanks, you've been a great help. ?
