−	~~== Removing Modules ==~~
−
−	~~Deleting a Module from the Toolset~~
−	~~Setup:~~
−	I created a module called Meep with a unique id of rcfMeep, added in one area with a waypoint, configured the starting area/waypoint info, and exported it with dependencies. And now I want to strip it out.
−
−	~~Step 1: Removing it from the game~~
−
−	* Navigate to My Documents\Bioware\AddIns
−	* Delete the folder called rcfMeep
−	* Done
−
−	Removing from the game is fairly easy. The toolset? Not so much. The reason for this is that the information is stored in the SQL Database. Now if you just want to remove the module from the Manage Modules list, that is easy.
−
−	* Open Sql Server Management Studio Express. I'm not sure if the default installation installs this or not. If not, it can be downloaded from Microsoft.
−	* Connect to the BWDATOOLSET server, assuming that you kept the default options.
−	* Expand Databases
−	* Expand bw_dragonage_content
−	* Expand Tables
−	* Right click and select open on the dbo.Modules table
−	* This will bring up an excell-like window. Find your module, right-click on the row, and select delete. Say ok to the confirmation.
−	* Module is now PERMANENTLY removed. Absolutely no way of recovering it.
−
−	Now depending on the size of the Module, you just orphaned a bunch of resources. Areas, placables, conversations, they all get placed into the database. And once you remove the module ID, you just lost your ability to remove these resources. Now do keep in mind that 95% of this junk is just text, so it hardly takes up any room. It's not really a major issue. However if you [[How-tos#Delete resources\|delete out the resources]] within the toolset before you remove the module reference you should avoid this.

−	~~== Create a lootable placeable that vanishes when looted ==~~

−	~~For a player-usable placeable, use the following event script to make it give its contents to the player and then vanish when clicked on.~~
−
−	~~<dascript>~~
−	~~#include "wrappers_h"~~
−	~~void main()~~
−	{
−	~~event ev = GetCurrentEvent();~~
−	~~int nEventType = GetEventType(ev);~~
−	~~switch (nEventType)~~
−	{
−	~~case EVENT_TYPE_USE:~~
−	{
−	~~//MoveAllItems(OBJECT_SELF, GetHero());~~
−	~~AddCreatureMoney (1000000, GetHero(), TRUE);~~
−	~~Safe_Destroy_Object(OBJECT_SELF);~~
−	}
−	}
−	}
−	~~</dascript>~~
−
−	~~If you wanted to use standard resources you could achieve the same thing (though not destroying the placeable) simply by adding "_autoloot" to the end of the placeable's tag.~~
−
−	~~== Move the player to a new area after a cutscene plays ==~~
−
−	~~Stand-alone cutscenes have an "end script" parameter that sets a script to run once the cutscene ends. Use a script such as the following:~~
−
−	~~<dascript>~~
−	~~void main()~~
−	{
−	~~DoAreaTransition("destination_area_tag", "destination_waypoint_tag");~~
−	}
−	~~</dascript>~~
