CK - purple conditions

[WraithSlayer]

What does it mean when a quest alias has conditions colored purple?

I did try Google before asking. None of the links from your search query explain the color coding, and searching about purple conditions specifically doesn't seem to yield any answers either.

A lot of information in that tutorial. See if that helps answer your question.

Thanks, but that tutorial doesn't cover anything related to my question, nor does it tell me anything I didn't already know.

I must ask since I dont understand what you asking about.

The Purple stuff, can happen sometimes.

But in quest alias?

[Anatriax]

I think he's trying to create/edit a quest. 

Colors in CK mean different things in different places. 

@Wraith: I've looked and asked a few people. Haven't found any answers. If I do, I'll let you know, sir.

[Uncle64]

Ahh, thanks.

CK scares me so I have no clue. But it could be interesting to know what it actually is.

[Anatriax]

CK is actually pretty easy to use, once you've watched a few tutorials  

No be scared!

Asked the modder "darkconsole" this is the reply:

 

[21:10:54] <Kaputzki> Quest alias condition colored purple in CK, got any idea what that means?
[21:11:06] <darkconsole> no i been asking people that for two years now. nobody knows.
[21:11:21] <darkconsole> i even posted discussion to the ck wiki about it. nobody knows.

[Anatriax]

Similar to the same answer I've been getting from people lmao

[WraithSlayer]

For clarity, here's an example of what I mean:
 

 

So far I've only figured out that the color is related to specific conditions. Some, like GetInFaction, have it, but others like HasKeyword never do. These same conditions also show purple in the quest conditions list, but never in the player dialogue topics.

And are there different colors to different functions? Or is it only purple you see for these specific functions?

No other colors. Just purple for some functions, black for others.

[b3lisario]

The color is a flag some functions have

Look for "Flags=0x0001" here --> http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Tes5Mod:Mod_File_Format/Raw_Function_Data#Script_Functions

Probably the purple condition functions are not delayed and behave like these --> http://www.creationkit.com/Category:Non-delayed_Native_Function

Talked to TheDriedFinger about it:

 

<tdf> Yeah... seems to be a specific set of condition functions that go purple.
<tdf> And only on some Forms that contain the conditions.
