What is TEMP in Skyrim?

What is TEMP in Skyrim? - What Text on a Pink Surface

I was playing Skyrim today, and I turned off collision (tcl) so I could fly trough walls. I was in Saarthal Excavation, and OUTSIDE OF THE WALL,there was a stone, with the drawings you find in giant camps, but they were glowing. I got closer to it, and it said "Activate TEMP". I tried to activate it, but nothing happened.

Anyone know what this could be?



Best Answer

It's simply the (player-visible) "display name" of the activator. It could literally be any text without changing what the stone does.

It's very likely that the stone is a left-over from the development time, (originally) with some code on it helping with debugging the area or quests running in it. You'll know for sure when you open the level in the Creation Kit, locate the activator, then check which script is bound to it.

For more infos about activators, see this article on the Creation Kit wiki: http://www.creationkit.com/Activator

What is the coldest part of Skyrim?

In general, the areas from warmest to coldest are:
  • Falkreath Hold (warmest)
  • Eastmarch. The Rift. The Reach. Whiterun Hold. Hjaalmarch. The Northern Coast.
  • The Pale, and Mountains (High Hrothgar, etc) (coldest)


How do you not be cold in Skyrim?

If you reach the highest level of Cold, your health will be reduced to zero and you will die from exposure to the elements. You can warm up by standing near a fire, eating hot soup, or moving to a warmer location.
