Location and Identity Conditions

Match cells, coordinates, content files, object types, records, and generated objects.

These conditions inspect the target object's cell or identity. Sequence forms are OR-lists unless noted otherwise.

cell

Shape: cell: string | string[]

Exact match against object.cell.name or object.cell.id. The comparison is not a substring match. Use the cell spelling exposed by the active content; the handler does not perform a case-insensitive comparison for this condition.

cell: "Balmora, Caius Cosades' House"

cell_match

Shape: cell_match: string | string[]

Case-insensitive plain substring match against the cell name or ID. Each listed substring is an alternative.

cell_match: tomb

coords

Shape: coords: [{ x: integer, y: integer }, ...]

Matches an exterior cell's exact grid coordinates. Interior and non-exterior objects do not match. The sequence is required because multiple coordinate tables are alternatives.

coords:
  - x: -2
    y: -2

content_file

Shape: content_file: string | string[]

Matches the object's originating content file. Values are normalized by the module loader and then compared as an exact content-file value. An object without a content file matches the special value GENERATED.

content_file: Morrowind.esm

exterior

Shape: exterior: boolean

Matches true for exterior cells and false for non-exterior cells.

exterior: false

quasi_exterior

Shape: quasi_exterior: boolean

Matches the cell's OpenMW isQuasiExterior flag. This is separate from exterior.

quasi_exterior: true

region

Shape: region: string | string[]

Case-insensitive exact match against the cell region. For an interior without a direct region, SSS may infer the region from the nearest teleport door leading to an exterior cell. If no region can be found, the condition fails.

region: ashlands region

worldspace

Shape: worldspace: string | string[]

Case-insensitive exact match against the object's cell worldspace ID. Objects without a worldspace ID do not match.

worldspace: morrowind

object_type

Shape: object_type: string | string[]

Matches an exact OpenMW type name through types[...]. Common values include Container, Creature, LevelledCreature, Weapon, Armor, NPC, Static, Door, and Activator. A listed type is an alternative. An unknown type is an error, not a non-match.

object_type:
  - Door
  - Container

record_id

Shape: record_id: string | string[]

Lua-pattern match against the object's record ID. An exact record ID naturally matches; ^ and $ can anchor a pattern, for example ^bonewalker$. Listed patterns are alternatives. Record IDs are normalized by the loader.

record_id: "^in_tomb_all_lev%+0$"

Because this is Lua-pattern matching rather than plain substring matching, escape Lua pattern characters such as + with %.

content_file_target

Shape: content_file_target: { ContentFile: [referenceNumber, ...] }

Matches only when both the object's content file and its local reference number match. Content-file keys are alternatives; reference numbers under a matching key are alternatives. This is the current reference-number condition; there is no standalone ref_num condition.

content_file_target:
  Morrowind.esm:
    - 67647

generated_record

Shape: generated_record: boolean

Matches whether the object's record was dynamically created rather than supplied by a plugin. It is distinct from generated_object.

generated_record: true

generated_object

Shape: generated_object: boolean

Matches whether the object instance has no originating content file. true means dynamically created; false means an original content placement.

generated_object: false
