Just chipping in to say that this issue makes making mods VERY hard as I may need to go back and forth to add/remove dialog branches as I make changes to the mod. Yes, still hoping and googling for a fix/workaround :(

*** post deleted... found my problem ****

Guess I'm a little late to reply to this, but I have had the same questions. Since I didn't find any at the time, I made my own mods to get tank-ish followers: 1. Housecarls Are Tanks 2. Severin Manor Guard

To get player to stop combat, I'd imagine the line would be Game.GetPlayer().StopCombat() Self.StopCombat() refers to the script ("self"), not player. Player is "Actor 00000014". Self.StopCombat() would probably work if this was a script that extended ReferenceAlias (in a quest), and the alias actually is the player. As for the get on the knees, you need to find the animation ID in the CK and then make a property to it. I can't recall the command offhand but it would be something like: Game.GetPlayer().PlayIdle(yourAnimationProperty) Look in the creationkit.com under "Actor Script" ... should list all the commands available for actors. Or, you could use AI packages like many people do and tag those to quest stages. It's really up to you how you want to implement it.

The thing about "Property" is... you can't just delete it from the script. You need to go to the Property page, CLEAR that property so that it is now containing NOTHING, then SAVE the mod. Then, you can delete that property from the script. The quick-fix to your problem is to redefine that property. It may or may not contain your previous values. If it does, just clear it. Then save the mod, then delete it again from the script. Just remember to save immediately after deleting.

Sure... open console, first thing you need to do is to find out the ID of the hair from Ceri's mod first. One of the ways is that if Ceri is currently wearing the hair (not the default one) you want, you can simply target Ceri in console and then type "SHOWINVENTORY"... the hair would be listed as an armour piece and it'd contain something like "...... apachii hair F28".... Then, you do: prid <the ID of the NPC you want to use Ceri's hairstyles> additem <the hair from Ceri's mod you want the NPC to use> equipitem <that hair ID> As an example (and I'm only using made-up numbers here, just to illustrate), let's say you you want Lydia to use a hairstyle: prid a2c94 (this number is accurate. This IS Lydia's ID) additem 2F2308973 (this is a made-up number for the hair piece from Ceri's mod) equipitem 2F2308973 And now Lydia would be sporting Ceri's hairstyle, unequipping any helmet she may have been wearing before.

The trouble is, while we can make more dialogues that you can say to the NPCs, there's not much they can say to reply... so it'd very likely be voice-less. After all, if the voice actor didn't record the lines, the NPCs can't say it....

Hi, I'm trying to figure something out for a mod of mine. Where exactly does "GetPositionZ()" point to on an ObjectReference? Assuming the Objectreference is a biped Actor, a human for instance... where's the exact point which GetPositionZ() will return? Feet? Body? Head? I'm actually playing with the idea of an "accuracy" mod, so just trying to figure out ways to target specific areas and such. Assuming GetPositionZ() is not what I want, then the next thing I was thinking of is using "HasNode("Head")"... yet, how do I get the exact co-ordinates in 3D space for the "head"? Thanks for any hints/input/advice.... and yeah Creation Kit wiki doesn't go into very much detail on this.

Try making a "quest" with aliases pointing to itemA and ItemB, then you can attach scripts to these items via the aliases, and use "OnEquipped()" events in them. Alternatively, if ItemsA and B are unique items you have created, then you can probably attach the scripts directly to these items without the "quest" too, Might work. The CK page for OnEquipped() is here Hope this helps or at least gives you an idea how to proceed.

To get the housecarl dialogues, just add "PlayerHousecarlFaction" to their faction in the CK (or console commands too).

@AvelonHellfyre Sure, go ahead and have a go :smile: I have been thinking about your idea, and thinking maybe I should just simply swap skills with NPCs and using the nearest crafting station (not necessarily a unique station somewhere else). In this case I'd need to add the skills and perks to a new NPC so as not to touch vanilla stuff then have the player swap with this NPC and then using the station all done via script. Need to play around a little bit more but yeah as of right now I'm not really "working on it". Plus, if you get it up and running before I do, I can just use your mod (should you decide to release it) and save myself the headache :) @steve40 Yeah the older save will show the item as enchanted unless Skyrim is restarted. It behaves the same way for my "test" character as well as regular ones I play Skyrim with. If I quit Skyrim then restart and reload the older save then it will not be enchanted before I talk to the vendor. Load order and number of mods doesn't matter - my "test" character runs only with SkyUI and SKSE and the Unofficial Patches.

@dwiss Heh yeah dissect that mod and see how he does the enchanting :smile: Thanks, I may just do that. Right now this mod is "shelved" cuz I hit another snag with weapons and just decided to "take a break" from this mod for a bit. @AvelonHellfyre Hmmm very interesting method. I will indeed study (and learn) how to do what you have suggested. I never actually thought about swapping skills with the NPC :smile: Much thanks for the idea! Even if I can't achieve what you have suggested I may adapt some elements and use them...

@dwiss Honestly, I looked at Economics of Skyrim a long time back, and it changed too many things for my liking hence I never actually downloaded nor installed it. If they now have enchanting services, then I wouldn't want the other vendors to be changed just to get enchanting services. Also, yeah dang I missed that part in the documentation for "SetEnchantment"... thanks for pointing it out :( Thanks again guys for the replies!

@steve40 Well I made a savegame just before talking to the vendor, so I'm quite sure it's the "right" savegame. Still, as far as testing goes, after enchanting I loaded the savegame I made before I talked to the vendor, and the armour appears as enchanted. I am thus stumped as to why the armour should be enchanted before I talked to the vendor. The armour script won't fire because the dialogue option simply wouldn't appear if the player wasn't wearing anything with the keyword "ArmourCuirass" or "ClothingBody" hence I didn't test for the possibility of pArmour == None. As it is, I'm thinking that's why there are no mods doing enchanting vendors/machines/chests etc. @Korodic Ok then I'm stumped as to why earlier saves show the enchantment already applied to the armour before enchanting. Anyway thanks to both you guys for replying. I guess enchanting your un-enchanted items probably can't be done correctly as of right now. even with SKSE 1.6.9

Hi, I'm starting out on a mod, where I think that if Morrowind had vendors that could enchant your weapons/armour, Skyrim should too. Basically I got the enchanting done and it kinda works. However the problem I encountered is: 1. I wear my chest armour, I talk to the vendor, the SKSE script works and the armour is enchanted. 2. If I now load a previous savegame before I talk to the vendor, the chest armour is ALSO enchanted now (which shouldn't be the case since I have not talked to the vendor in this save). Code fragment: Enchantment Property FortifyHeavy15 Auto MiscObject Property Currency Auto Armor pArmour = Game.GetPlayer().GetWornForm(4) as Armor Enchantment CurrEnch = pArmour.GetEnchantment() if CurrEnch == None if Game.GetPlayer().GetItemCount(Currency) > 1000 pArmour.SetEnchantment(FortifyHeavy15) Game.GetPlayer().UnEquipItem(pArmour, false, true) Game.GetPlayer().EquipItem(pArmour, false, true) Game.GetPlayer().RemoveItem(Currency, 1000) else Debug.Notification("You do not have enough gold") endif else Debug.Notification("Your armour/clothing is already enchanted") endif I suspect somehow I'm looking at the game's base objects instead of "this particular one the player is using"... but I have no clue how to "get the one the player is using"... any advice? Many thanks in advance!
