ShowCell

Adds a spell to the player that allows you to find out the coordinates and table ID of the current cell. Great for finding areas to house dungeon entrances or items for your own mod.

ShowCell adds a spell - ShowPlayerLocation, which when cast opens a message box containing the table ID and player coordinates of the current cell. This is to allow mods to find locations in the game that they want to use in their mods, and to easily find them in the creation kit.

Requirements - None.

Installation - Extract to data file, or use mod manager.

No magic?

If for some reason you don't have a spell, I put a spell on the well in Whiterun Market.

How to find cells in the creation toolkit?

In the Creation Kit, find the Edit menu on the toolbar in the upper left corner of the screen. In the context menu, find Find Text. In the "Search text" box, enter the form ID you noted down in the game - press Enter. There are a number of tabs below the search box - "Information", "Scripts", "Objects, etc." Click "Objects, etc."

Alternatively, if the cell is an external cell, click the World Space drop-down menu in the cell window of the Creation Kit and select Tamriel. Below the drop-down list are boxes for the X and Y coordinates of the wilderness you want to load. Just enter the coordinates in the game and click go to load the cell. This only works on outer cells!

And Hala! The cell will be in the list, double click on it to load the cell.

There are other things to note -

While this mod does not expose coc code, you can teleport to outside cells using the center of the world-cow-command. For example, in the console window: Cow Tamriel 10 -4.
