== TES5Edit Scripting ==
* [https://tes5edit.github.io/docs/13-Scripting-Functions.html Scripting Functions]
=== Description ===
Work in progress: To become the future home of scripting functions for TES5Edit. If you make scripts for TES5Edit please contribute to this page.


TES5Edit implements a script engine based on pascal syntax. The following table enumerates the functions exported by TES5Edit to the script engine that allows interacting with the editor's elements to perform various tasks such as finding records, fixing record conflicts, etc.
If you would like to contribute feel free to edit the files and submit your changes:


The information in the table is not complete so please contribute by explaining these functions, their uses and by fixing mistakes in this information.
https://github.com/TES5Edit/docs


=== TES5Edit Scripting Functions ===
= Additional TES5Edit Resources =
The types described by this table such as IwbElement, IwbFile, etc.. are internal and not directly accessible but instead the script engine receives a generic type named <b>IInterface</b> which is common to every object type returned by TES5Edit.
The reason the internal types are shown in this table is because some functions expect references to specific types even if the object reference is being held by the generic IInterface variable.

=== Script Structure ===
==== Base Script Functions ====
The are three special functions that TES5Edit will call when a script is run:
* '''Initialize''': This function is called when the script starts. It's useful to initialize variables.
* '''Process''': This function is called for every record selected in the TES5Edit tree. If a plugin is selected then it will be called for each record defined in the plugin. The same happens if a record type is selected in the tree.
* '''Finalize''': This function is called when the script has finished processing every record. Generally useful for saving files and freeing the allocated resources.
 
All these functions are optional, so if they are not needed they can be omitted.
 
==== Hotkeys ====
 
TES5Edit can assign ''hotkeys'' to scripts. The script hotkey is defined in the description like this:
 
<pre>
{
Script description.
------------------------
Hotkey: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E
}
</pre>
 
==== Script References ====
 
Scripts can use functions defined in other scripts. That allows creating ''toolkits'' to avoid duplicating code. To make use of this feature the following instruction is used: (use below the unit name)
 
<pre>
uses 'MyTools';
</pre>
 
With that command we instruct the script to load another script named "MyTools.pas" and the functions in that script will be available. Note that any conflict in names can be resolved by the unit name. So it's suggested to change the ''toolkit'' script unit name appropriately.
 
==== Script User Interface ====
 
TO DO: Explain user interface and provide some examples.
 
=== Simple Script Sample ===
 
This is a sample script which will only export every selected NPC to a CSV file:
 
<pre>
{
Script description: Exports the FormID and EditorID of the selected NPCs
}
 
// This is the unit name that will contain all the script functions
unit ExportScripts;
 
// Global variables
var NPCList : TStringList;
 
// Called when the script starts
function Initialize : integer;
begin
NPCList := TStringList.Create;
NPCList.Add('FormID;EditorID');
end;
 
// Called for each selected record in the TES5Edit tree
// If an entire plugin is selected then all records in the plugin will be processed
function Process(e : IInterface) : integer;
begin
if Signature(e) <> 'NPC_' then exit;
NPCList.Add(IntToHex(FixedFormID(e), 8) + ';' + GetElementEditValues(e, 'EDID'));
end;
 
// Called after the script has finished processing every record
function Finalize : integer;
var filename : string;
begin
filename := ProgramPath + 'Edit Scripts\NPCs.csv';
AddMessage('Saving NPC list to ' + filename);
NPCList.SaveToFile(filename);
NPCList.Free;
end;
 
end.
