Default Scripts List

What are Default Scripts?

This is a full list of all default scripts included in vanilla Skyrim.

Defaults scripts are pre-created and compiled scripts written by the Bethesda developers, made with the intention of saving the time of a modder spent writing scripts to perform common tasks. They can be added to any record by going to Scripts>Add, filtering by "default" and choosing one of the scripts to add. Often, they contain properties that should be filled in order for the script to function properly.

List of Default Scripts

default2StateActivator

This script will cause the activator it's placed on to open or close depending on its current state. It will only work properly on activators that can open and close. I.e. having the script on a custom portcullis.

defaultActivateActivateLinkedRefOnce

This script will cause the activator to activate its linked reference when activated, and then go to an empty state where the script will do nothing upon activation. I.e. an activator triggering a one-time trap.

defaultActivateDelayedToggleLinkedRef

This script will cause the activator to change the enable state of the linked reference when activated after a variable amount of time has passed since activation. You can set the DelayTime to 0 for no delay. I.e. a manual light switch script.

defaultActivateDeleteLinkedRef

This script will delete the linked reference of the activator upon activation. Be sure to read Delete_-_ObjectReference, particularly Notes and the initial section. I.e. when a chain is pulled, removing a wall.

defaultActivateLinkDoOnceSCRIPT

This script will cause the trigger to activate its linked reference when it is entered. This only works for trigger boxes! I.e. triggering a trap when the player walks past it.

defaultActivateLinkedRefOnAttacked

This script will activate the linked reference of the actor once the actor has been hit the specified number of times. I.e. releasing an animal from a cage once you've hit a rival in a duel enough.

defaultActivateLinkedRefOnceOnDeath

This script will activate the linked reference of the actor when they die.
