What script would display Localized Description ?  I intend to insert it in On Used Script of a scroll I'd put on a bed pillow indicating that certain items in the inventory of a nearby Armoire can be taken and others not (flagged as stolen).

Thank you

Would DisplayMessageBox serve?

There's hundreds of lines when I drop-down On Used Script.  I don't remember ever scripting with NWN2 before and I didn't think I'd have to go through such a number of possibilities. 

Any tip would help.

Ah, well that is just the menu of pre-built scripts. I think what you need to do is write your own. In the upper-left panel, under the Scripts tab, if you right click you should get a menu of script templates. There's probably one for an On-Used script. Just create a new script, change the name to something suitable, save it, and the name should appear in the pull-down menu for the On-used script property. You can then code in the instructions in your own script.

Will that work for you?

You don't need a script for this. I use the same technique in King's Festival. Just use a scroll placeable, set it to usable and its default action preference to Examine. Then when you click on it its description is displayed.



If you want them to take the scroll then you could use a tag based acquire script to display a message box using the DisplayMessageBox command that displays the description text retrieved with the GetDescription function.

Ah yeah great!  It even has the eye icon which is even better than if I managed the script.  I tried it in a new module.

I was trying to use the ActionExamine, I thought it was even better than DisplayMessageBox.  I made the following script naming it i_scrollinnnote_us that I placed in On Used Script of the scroll tagged ScrollInnNote. and I followed what's in Required and Suggested.

// Placeable OnUsed Template    
/*
    Required: Static=FALSE, Usable=TRUE, CurrentHP>0, attach script to the OnUsed event
    Suggested: Plot=TRUE, DefaultActionPreference="Use"
*/
//

#include "ginc_debug"

void main()
{
    object oUser = GetLastUsedBy();
    string sSelfName = GetName( OBJECT_SELF );

    PrettyDebug( sSelfName + "'s was used by " + GetName( oUser ) );

    // Do something
    
    // I realised the script would only be activated by ScrollInnNote so no need for verification.
    //if ( sSelfName == "ScrollInnNote" ) {
        ActionExamine( OBJECT_SELF );
    //}
}

Now that clicking a scroll does examine it, I'm wondering if there's a way to have it highlighted until it's examined.  I could have it in the journal to check the pillow note but that seem inane, the player could very well figure out on his/her own that those items (see OP) belong to the Inn.  Addressed in Highlight object until examined.

The fx_lootbag visual effects can be used to highlight a location. You might also be able to adopt the "Secret Object" placeable to have a party member say they found something when they get nearby.

That sound like a good idea!    I'll finish up with the highlighting for tutorial purposes then get to it.  Although...  In cases where "Secret Object" was used (I don't recall it in the campaign), doesn't it have a visual effect showing which object was just discovered?

The only effect I recall is that of replacing one object with another.

So I finally figured how to remove highlighting effects off the object in Highlight object until examined.  Now I want to examine but I have no idea how to attach that script to On Examine so I've attacehd it to On Used but the examine command ActionExamine() won't function, I've tried different objects, so I'm stuck choosing between removing the effect or examining the scroll.  Does anyone has a tip on how to call the examine window from a script, ideally having used ActionExamine() ?
