I made a new topic with a script but now everyone has it and I want only one NPC to have it.
Can I change value of a variable in a script from a dialogue with a nother NPC? What I want to do actualy is this: I have an activator wich teleports you. I want to allowe using this activator only if you pay gold to one NPC (in a dialogue).

I didn't understand all you said, but generally here's how you do it:
1-Make a global variable. Call it something like BM_allowtele_01
2-Make a new dialog topic and make the "ID" of the NPC in the functions part the one you need.
3-Add the "Set BM_allowtele_01 to 1" line in the result tab.
4-Attach this script to check for the global to the activator.
5-Make sure to introduce the topic.

 I didn't quite understand all you said eather, but it doesent matter, I figured what was wrong anyway.
-for the first part where I made a new topic and it appeared at all NPC's, all I had to do was put an ID of a NPC (for whom I wished to be the only one knowing the topic) in the "Speaker Condition" for that topic
-and the second part: I tryed to enter this formula: "Set MyObject.variable to 1" at a certen point in conversation, so it would change a variable in a script on a nother object. But it didn't work.
Later I relised that I only need to change the ID of an object in formula, becouse my old object's ID started with: (bm), so TESCS recognised it as a variable without a function
Preety stupid actualy

In the dialogue.. Change the settings for your topic to allow ONLY your NPC to say it.

Well now I need more help with scripting:
1. I want a creature to disapear when PC exits a cell. But for some reason "CellChanged" (like at slaves scripts) or "GetPCCell" doesen't work. I tried with "disable" and "SetDelete, 1" in every posible combination.
2. I made an object wich when activated asks you a question. Depending on wich button you press, a creature is created at a certain location. The problem is that after you first answer a question, apropriate creature is created everytime you press it's belonging button (if you try to recharge a item, or use Hircine's ring forinstance...) while in cell where's this local script is running. I tryed with "if ( menumode == 1 ) return" and with "StopScript" but it doesent work
help please!

It would be much easier to help you with this if you posted your scripts so we could try to debug them... otherwise we just have to try to guess what's wrong.

Id you Disable something by the script attached to that something, Morrowing will go mad... Eh.. Create a new script:
Code:
begin _delete_creatureid
creature_id->disable
stopscript
end
and call it by adding startscript, _delete_creatureid to your script.
This MAY disable ALL creatures of this type.. I'm not quite sure... Try it!

MW doesn't have a problem with an object disabling itself. Have a look at the stronghold building scripts, for instance. I've had objects call disable and setdelete on the themselves without any problems.

It's a simple local script. I hade it attached to a creature. I tryed this:
-------------------------
if ( player->CellChanged == 1 )
disable
endif
or
if ( CellChanged == 1 )
disable
endif
or
if ( GetPCCell "Balmora" == 0 )
disable
endif
-------------------------------------------
I also tryed that on global scripts:
-------------------------------------------
if ( GetPCCell "Balmora" == 0 )
disable -> creature_id (or: creature_id -> disable )
endif
and
if ( CellChanged == 1 )
disable -> creature_id (or: creature_id -> disable )
StopScript "script_id"
endif
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
i also copied entire script I found on scripting for dummies:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
if ( player->CellChanged == 1 )
Disable
set timer_flag to 1
endif
if ( timer_flag == 1 )
set timer to ( timer + GetSecondsPassed )
if ( timer > 1.5 )
set obj_count to ( obj_count - 1 )
SetDelete, 1
else
return ; stop all other code processing
endif
endif
--------------------------------------
I thought that it had something to do with the fact that there are no creatures in the game with same ID untill PC creates it in the game using an activator (has this script on selfe:
Short variable
Short button
if ( OnActivate == 1 )
MessageBox "question", "option1", "option2", "option3"
set variable to 1
endif
if ( variable == 1 )
set button to GetButtonPressed
if ( button == -1 )
return
elseif ( button == 0 )
PlaceItem "creature_id1" x y z zrot
elseif ( button == 1 )
PlaceItem "creature_id2" x y z zrot
elseif ( button == 2 )
MessageBox "text"
endif
endif
so I put creature in the cell where there were suposed to be created but it also didn't matter
------------------------------
I tried creating them with global and local scripts, disableing them with globals and locals, I tried every posible combination but nothing seems to work
----------------------------
but this script attached to a creature for some reason works:
if ( OnDeath == 1 )
disable
endif
and it works with or without same ID creatures in game, runned from local script or targeted global script

if ( CellChanged == 1 ) is the proper syntax... no need to call it on the player.
CellChanged is a little bit finicky in outdoor cells, in my experience. If the creature is outside, maybe make a distance check instead?
e.g.
if ( GetDistance, Player > 5000 )
disable
endif
This wil disable the creature once the player is suitably far away.
For the placeItem call you're using, you realize that you have to use actual numberical values where you have x, y, and z, right?

It's an Indoor cell, and creature attacks on sight so I'll hardly get far enough
I know. I didn't feal like writing the exact values
TheSlof- I tried that too and it didn't work. I also tryed with two global scripts: when I activate an activator it starts a global script:
BEGIN monitor
if ( GetPCCell "cell_id" == 0 )
StartScript "del"
StopScript "monitor"
END
-------------------------
BEGIN del
creature_id->disable
StopScript "del"
END
But nothing seems to work. Twice when I didn't put StopScript "monitor" the game froze, only music keept playng.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I cant enter this cell by door but only by script (player->positioncell), and exit it by teleport magic or script (player->positioncell)

I’m just spit-balling here, but it may have something to do with your teleporting (using PositionCell) out of the interior cell rather than using a door activator. I’ve wondered how CellChanged actually works; as soon as the player leaves the cell where the local script is running, the script should cease to execute. So how can it test to see if the player has left the cell? Obviously it does work, such as in the case of disabling freed slaves, so CellChange may actually check to see if a teleport activator (door) has been activated. The activator is the trigger for the disabling (or whatever is to follow). Someone else may be able to confirm this… or that I don’t know what I am talking about.
If the former is the case, you either need, a more conventional way to leave the cell, or devise a way to detect when the player is leaving by some other means (recall, intervention, etc.).
[Actually, I just tested my theory and it failed. I freed some slaves and left via the console with coc and PositionCell. They’re gone, and left no forwarding address. That’s alright, I am accustom to the educational benefits of failure—at least you’ve eliminated one more possibility.]

Ok, try this... since cellChanged only returns true for 1 frame, maybe it returns true before the cell is fully loaded, so the script doesn't have time to disable. It's an outside shot, but it's worth a try.
short setDisable
if ( cellChanged == 1 )
set setDisable to 1
endif
if ( setDisable == 1 )
disable
endif

Ooops.. It's RemoveItem that crashes... Sorry!!
And I tried scrib->disable in-game, but nothing happened, so...
I'm just going to let you guys figure it out on your own..

tryed it, and tryed it. I also tryed something like from a spymasters script when he leaves from morrowind, and from some nord burial script but apsolutly nothing worked. Than I tryed disableing the creature after one game hour sence it was created but that too didn't work.
ok, I might have gotten the "time" script wrong so I'll try a cuple of times more

Can't you use GetDistance? Too far away, and the creature is disabled (you may want to use the GetDistance thingy on the activator and set a global to 1, have a script on the creatures disable them, and then (after a second?) set the global to 0 again).

It's an interior cell and creatures attack on sight so you'll hardly get far enough. But it doesent matter now anyway, I have released this mod: Battle Arena of Giants and you can look for it in mod sections
And if you want creatures to disapier, you'll just have to kill them, heheh

Good one!
And I presume this took a lot of hard coding..?
Maybe I'll have a look at it..

CellChanged is set upon entering a cell through a door. Local scripts in the previous cell that check CellChanged will not be affected. The reason the CellChanged attempts didn't work is because you are teleporting the PC, and teleporting doesn't trigger CellChanged. The reason your monsters kept spawning when you selected buttons on other dialogs is because after you created the monster you didn't set "variable" back to 0, so it was checking GetButtonPressed every frame, even after you spawned the monster.
GetPCCell should work fine, but it does require more work than CellChanged.
A good solution would be to use a global script to make your own personal CellChanged using GetPCCell:
Code:
short flag
if ( EnteringArena == 1 )
set EnteringArena to 0
endif
if ( GetPCCell, "<cell name>" == 1)
if ( flag == 0 )
set flag to 1
set EnteringArena to 1
endif
else
if ( flag == 1 )
set flag to 0
endif
endif
With this script running you should be able to use EnteringArena like CellChanged except that it will work with teleportation and will only trigger when entering this specific cell.
EDIT: oh ya, and remember to create EnteringArena as a global short
hmm.. maybe I should test this before I start pretending I know what I'm talking about... brb

Here are some edited version of your scripts with the changes I mentioned above. I have not yet tested if my fix for the bug with the buttons works, but I think it will. The other changes have been tested and work fine.
oh, and I fixed one typo I noticed, there are some others but I think they improve immersion, since back then people spelled things differently all the time.
Code:
BEGIN Panel
short flag
short button
if ( ScriptRunning, "EnterArenaScript" == 0 )
StartScript, "EnterArenaScript"
endif
if ( flag == 1 )
set button to GetButtonPressed
if ( button == -1 )
return
elseif ( button == 0 )
PlaceItem "blm_almalexia", 4206 6582 11762 150
MessageBox "Almalexia awaits!"
elseif ( button == 1 )
PlaceItem "blm_bloody_me", 4206 6582 11762 150
MessageBox "Bloody_Me awaits!"
elseif ( button == 2 )
PlaceItem "blm_dagoth_ur" 4206 6582 11762 150
MessageBox "Dagoth Ur awaits!"
elseif ( button == 3 )
PlaceItem "blm_gaenor" 4206 6582 11762 150
MessageBox "Gaenor awaits!"
elseif ( button == 4 )
PlaceItem "blm_hircine" 4206 6582 11762 150
MessageBox "Hircine awaits!"
elseif ( button == 5 )
PlaceItem "blm_imperfect" 4206 6582 11762 150
MessageBox "Imperfect awaits!"
elseif ( button == 6 )
PlaceItem "blm_the_udyrfrykte" 4206 6582 11762 150
MessageBox "The Udyrfrykte awaits!"
elseif ( button == 7 )
PlaceItem "blm_vivec" 4206 6582 11762 150
MessageBox "Vivec awaits!"
elseif ( button == 8 )
MessageBox "Coward!"
endif
set flag to 0
return
endif
if ( OnActivate == 0 )
return
endif
MessageBox "Who do you wish to fight against?", "Almalexia", "Bloody_Me", "Dagoth Ur", "Gaenor", "Hircine", "Imperfect", "The Udyrfrykte", "Vivec", "No one. I'm scared."
set flag to 1
END Panel
Code:
begin EnterArenaScript
short flag
if ( EnteringArena == 1 )
set EnteringArena to 0
endif
if ( GetPCCell, "Battle Arena of Giants" == 1)
if ( flag == 0 )
set flag to 1
set EnteringArena to 1
endif
else
if ( flag == 1 )
set flag to 0
endif
endif
end
Code:
BEGIN DisOpp
short counter
if ( counter > 0 )
if ( counter == 1 )
SetDelete, 1
endif
set counter to counter - 1
return
endif
if ( OnDeath == 1 )
disable
PlaySound "conjuration hit"
set counter to 11
endif
if ( EnteringArena == 1 )
disable
set counter to 11
endif
END DisOpp
create a new script for the EnterArenaScript, also make sure to create the EnteringArena global variable.
Hope this works out for ya.
very good job on the mod btw. 
if you ever plan on expanding it or something and need help with scripting just ask!

Doesn't this messagebox appear over and over again, even if you select "No one. I'm scared."?

no, the script will only get to that point for the single frame when the panel is activated.
note the code right above it:
Code:
if ( OnActivate == 0 )
return
endif
this works exactly the same way as:
Code:
if ( OnActivate == 1 )
MessageBox "Who do you wish to fight against?", "Almalexia", "Bloody_Me", "Dagoth Ur", "Gaenor", "Hircine", "Imperfect", "The Udyrfrykte", "Vivec", "No one. I'm scared."
set flag to 1
endif
many people consider this last example to be easier to read and understand, but I prefer the first because that type of coding helps avoid overly complex nested if statements, and in rare circumstances will speed up the script.
