you have layers thing in cse, so you can make objects part of common or special layer and hide the layer. but these object will nevertheless collide with mouse as if they were toggled on.

The question is about algorithms. I want my dock workers to go from docks to stores with special animation and then return with no animation. And it i should be their schedule for all work day. From 9 to 18. The Goal: Making NPCs randomly choose which of the 4 stores (interior cells) to enter and then return to the point in the docks can be solved in several ways. The question is, which ones? I have outlined the following algorithm. Here I need the expertise of those who have worked with AI packages and can say whether this algorithm works or not. The algorithm is as follows: For each marker (one marker for each of the four interior cells), we make an AI package. It has the following conditions: 25% GetRandomCount; > 10 from the marker in the cell; working time from 9 to 18. Thus, each package gets a 25% chance of being selected, then resets when the character reaches the marker, being less than 10 meters from it, and the package will ALWAYS be selected between 9 and 18 o'clock in the day (see why it is needed further). Well, it is clear that these packages actual only for weekdays! When the package resets (the character reaches the marker), the character immediately receives a classic package to return to point A, that is, to the marker in the docks. This package also has the following conditions: > 10 from marker A; working time from 9 to 18. That is, after dropping one of the 4 packages, the character always receives this package, returns to the docks, and there again selects one of the 4 packages and again goes to the marker to the inner cell until the time reaches 18 hours. Do I understand the logic of the game engine correctly? I often observed during testing that specifying the meterage from the marker can lead to a crash if the marker is in another cell, especially in the interior cell. The crash occurs if the character is subjected to the evp function when he is not in the interior cell, and the packet specifies that he must be at least N meters from the object in the interior cell. That is why my question about the algorithm/architecture of the packets is not at all idle. Thanks anyone for help in this intricate question.

It was a peculair discussion! I really appreciate it. How all these refs created by PlaceAtMe should be cleaned though? How to access to these refs through script to use DeleteReference on them? I'm trying to guess it out but maybe somebody can say it...

Hello, people! I have really tricky (at least for me) questions. Wil be happy for any clue in these ones. Q.1. How to teleport actor right behind the player by script? Context: After the dialogue player receives two followers who have to be teleported by varibale (in dialogue result script). But they can appear right behind my eyes which is distorbing for game experience. So I've found a script by Wrye from his Summon Bed mod (link from here). I've shaped it as a function but still can't figure out how to change it porperly according to my idea. That's it: Q.2. How to create a reference via script from base object in the cell? Context: I've tried to create a varla's holder activator so you can put a varla stone here ('ve already created special static nif for it) but I don't want to just enable\disable it and tried to make something more dynamical. And I've found out that you cannot actually create a ref by script! Or I just don't understand how to do it? Here is my attempt: Q.3. The most tricky one. How to make a scripted movement for an actor to a dynamic point? Context: It'll be easier if I put it more clear. I created an activator which should make a player "jump" to the point above the activator wherever he is. This activator is a hook which is used to "jump" the player to the roof of the building. A way around for players who haven't a high acrobatics skill. But it seems to be a really tough scripting. It should analyze an actual player's position, then a position of hook ref, then create a step by which it would move the player to the hook position via the parabola (with "jumping" animation loop) and after player has grounded to the roof the script should be stopped. Maybe somebody has seen something similar in mods? I have some code but it doesn't have any considerable shape now. Thank to all who'd try to help!

Get it now Thank you, yeah I often tick "must complete" box to make sure it WILL be done :))

I've experienced it only when used Oblifall Openening Hours. In vanilla I've just never noticed this behaviour. Thus, I was really surprised when this thing occured in my mod.

Thank you! You mean this helps to see precisely a hiatus between packages?

Thank you very much! I try to tick it. Hope it'll work for quest guys. I have made several in-game notes about daily routine for quest purposes. These lags make these notes useless :)) Moveto maybe very harsh, it just teleports a person to the marker, right? Very specific procedure. I tried to arrange a more subtle and immersive experience... PS Now I understand why different shops in my custom settlement have opened themselves not precisely at 8 AM... PPS Energy, if Oblivion Fan Wiki is correct (I see the same in english wiki, but can't find it for now), is about NPC's speed (?) when they travel to marker or patrolling. Smth like that.

Idk why is it so but npc in my mod don't follow their own schedules precisely. Ex.: I've arranged a "travel" package to the marker (in exteriors) at 5 AM and staying there for 2 hours. Npc Sleep Package was arranged from 22 PM to 4 AM. But in fact the character sleep for 5:30 or similar (everytime time lag is different) and only after that he asleeps and goes to the point. I have to check the location (custom tavern) where NPC sleeps to make him go to the marker. I've checked his packages for several times and every time he has arrived to the point at different time: 5:40; 6:25; 7:20 (!), etc. I don't understand what I did wrong. Some schedules work precisely, some do not. I've tried to change "energy" to 100 points in AI menu of every NPC but it doesn't change anything. Please, any advice will be helpfull.

I get it, thnak you people. I'll try to name them and see will it work or not.

I'd created some static objects already but after that I decided they should work as activators. Ex.: I want to activate tombstone to read about a burried person. I tried to imply collisionbox as a mesh for an activator and put it on the object I want to be active. But it doesn't help. Game knows that collision is there but you can't actually activate this collision. I'd be glad for suggestions what to do here!

firstly you should find a praying animation in animation menu which is located at the one of the tab's folder. find animation and copy the path of the animation. create your custom animation and paste the animation path of the vanilla pray animation. check the condition: choose your custom praytoken by inserting "getitemcount" condition. after that we can work with our npc. You should create an AI package at the AI schedule. smth like JohnDoePraying7x5 where 7 is 7 AM and 5 is a duration. choose use item at state for a package. after that find in STATIC object menu "marker" and place it where you want npc to stand their knees and pray. make sure you choose this marker in AI package third folder (right after conditions folder mentioned earlier). after that in conditions of the created package you choose 'getitemcount" and add your custom praytoken to the inventory. that's all. You get npc who everyday prays and 7 AM on the marker you made. P.S. I've seen an actual date of the thread only after I finished my advice

Thank you, people! I'll try it

Is it a way to make script check if player has ANY object of certain type? Context: I have activator "if player has poison in inventory he can poison an object". But Idk what function can do that. I need smth which will check if player has ANY of poisons in his inventory (potion poison or smth like that) and if it's true, messagebox can let him poison an object. Thanks to anybody who'd try to help.
