Short version it is nothing to worry about When nifskope has auto-sanitize enabled, and you save a nif, any same-named nodes get renamed to something similar to it's parent node then a colon then a number. The more duplicate named nodes you had, the more renamed nodes with a colon and a number, you will have. Did some get named in a logical way you should care about? Not likely, and even if it was, it could depend on the nifskope version, and any custom settings that might have been used. Don't lose sleep over it basically

Your keyword property can remain blank since it is only applicable if you set up a linked ref along with a keyword. Personally I never use the keyword approach for linkedrefs As for the undesired npc behavior, you should try temporarily using a non-edited dragur actorbase for that ref and see if it still happens. You might have changed something like aggro radius or aggression or packages, etc interfering with the ambush routine. I ran into a similar frustration some years ago and forget how I solved it, but it was something silly if I recall

I would probably create a custom ash pile record which uses an invisible model, and use that when wanted

PlaceAtMe works just fine. Here... save you some heartache. Tweak how you like, and I offer no warranty ObjectReference NazeemSpawn = Gate().PlaceAtMe(Game.GetForm(0x13BBF)); Or use the Nao call to skip immersive visual placement When3D(NazeemSpawn) WhateverYouWanted3DLoadedFirstToDo() Etc() ;================================================================= ObjectReference Function Gate(Float Dist = 300.0,Float Elev = 0.0,Float Bias = 0.0) Global ObjectReference PCO = Game.GetForm(0x14) as ObjectReference ObjectReference Here = PCO.PlaceAtMe(Game.GetForm(0x7CD55),1,False,True); 0xC9ED4 or 0x7CD55 Here.MoveTo(PCO,Dist * Math.Sin(PCO.GetAngleZ()),Dist * Math.Cos(PCO.GetAngleZ()),Elev) Here.SetAngle(0.0,0.0,Here.GetAngleZ() + Here.GetHeadingAngle(PCO) + Bias); Change Bias to 180.0 to make it face away from you instead Here.Enable() Utility.Wait(1.0); Skip if you want...

Just showing how to do it If placing something in another cell than what player is in, you can, just yeah assume it isn't rendered until you visit. Can always place at player then move them after. Play around with solutions

No it simply makes the ActiveMagicEffect register that event, with no knowledge of caster/target, unless you do string chaining like it looks like you are playing with, which means you will need a resolve routine on the other end, etc... And TBH your approach looks more hectic than it needs to be, but you could make it work for sure Side opinion: ActiveMagicEffect tends to be a good relayer for sending mod events, not listening. It can do both but yeah. Like if you want the target to send a mod event: GetTargetActor().SendModEvent("WhateverItsCalled") Where above is listened for from a quest or alias etc and you know who called the event. Anyway, that sucks if your npc's aren't keeping their assigned outfits. Suppose you may be doing a dynamic thing PS: The OnLoad() Event will not perform as you hope in regards to loading the game. You need OnPlayerLoadGame() for reload routines, and it has to be a script running from the player. Usually an alias script

Since you left it ambiguous whether you were aware of package flags manipulating walk/run behavior, it is a flag called preferred speed

Sounds like it could be more a package issue. Aside, more detail would help, like the script calls you are attempting, and how it's attached etc

Could add a silent track when applicable. There is one called _None that you can invoke after removing yours (Game.GetForm(0x1BA72) as MusicType).Add() Or ofc attach the _None music record as a property. Might as well Alternatively, combat music in the game uses conditions. Could definitely play with that instead/also

Sounds like are you are describing exactly what many doors do. Like the "door" at a cave entrance where you simply walk until you enter the cave. Basically take one of those and add a portal visual

There's a magiceffect condition you could play with. In theory you could apply that effect to a cloak ability with no damage. A script or shader or whatever else would then apply, but only as long as IsCombatTarget is true Not tested... and could well be one of those dormant conditions that do not do as they sound like they would. Basically just try it out

Likely won't be able to "port" the mod, but rather reproduce it as feasible If I was tackling this project today, first approach I would go with, is AI ObserveDead routine where the NPC using this routine, will approach lootable bodies and perhaps perform a search animation like they will when saying "What happened?" etc. Let scripts handle the actual looting, and also have the script apply some sort of tag to prevent NPCs from trying to repeat loot, etc I was curious so played with above for a little bit. ObserveDead override pack apparently is a dud or has quirks and too many hoops to jump through to be a viable approach. Aside, I found a mod you can use as a template for the concept you want. Haven't tried it myself but it can at least get you started, if not completely do what you are wanting https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/4744

This is a lengthy to explain process which some searching will yield good results for Aside, I have a mod for LE called Blueprints which spawns a NPC with your appearance. You can use the facegen it generates for a CK follower. I made it a long time ago and offer no support for it

Can be done by basically using a cameraman approach. Place someone wherever you want, angle them, etc, then use Game.SetCameraTarget(Whoever) Has to be an actor. Will not work on objects without using a SKSE-based mod Helpful: The actor does NOT have to be enabled to set camera onto them. Lets you set their elevation and other handy things that would be trickier to deal with if they have loaded 3D

You likely have to check the "Allow Dead" box for this to work Otherwise ReferenceAlias automatically releases NPCs from being aliased when they die, and I never tested if OnDeath script triggers happen before that Aside, there is OnDying() which you can mess with too. Just a reminder that exists too Unrelated but yeah: I would avoid naming a script the same as an event name. Maybe that's my coder-OCD triggering but I avoid syntax overlaps like that

Can't shout if it doesn't HAVE any shouts. To make this problem go away you can have a routine in place to simply remove all their shouts for x time, then re-add them. I'd probably find another way if it was me, but that would def solve your issue for the time being. Can always tweak approaches later once you get something working at all, as you are wanting

This is one of those things if you mess around with it enough you will start to figure out how things tick, and likely also learn some new things you didn't expect to find useful Def explore nif files and play with copy/pasting collisions and NIControllers to other nif models, and make new nifs too. CtrlC and CtrlV in skope is def your friend I'd have to give myself a refresher session with the creation side of things, to be more helpful. But do consider what I suggested. It's pretty enjoyable imo just experimenting with this stuff

This type of project is incredibly more time-intensive than it may sound like it would be Amongst many other lengthy steps, you need copies of all the smoke and fire fx nifs you want to green-ify, since you are not wanting to replace regular fire. Several of these fire and smoke nifs, have a number assigned called BSValueNodes. These values have to be changed, to match whatever you assigned your green addonnodes in the CK to. Green gradient and decal textures will need also be needed in this project If any of above makes little to no sense to you... You would be highly advised to simply download a mod that already does most (or all) or what you want, and use that as a base for what you want

If you spawned it at runtime, yeah I'd see that going away after a while. I believe you are okay. The body should*TM be there permanently since placed in the CK. As for loot, I believe when the cell resets, so do all refs

You would have to dive into the controller manager in each nif you want to modify, and it isn't simple Each sequence has interpolators and various data like transformdata, floatdata, and others. You MIGHT be able to get away with changing the speed of the controller at the top level and call it a day, but probably not tbh. Been too long since I messed with that stuff, I just remember it's finicky and tedious Very niche area of modding you are asking about. Sorry to inform, your goal is not an easy one

Refer to ArmorAddon.psc for all the commands related to what you are wanting Would need to also couple it with OnPlayerLoadGame() events to make custom changes persistent In short, it's an annoying process but doable if you want it bad enough

Sounds like you'd have to wing it with map menu listening tied with OnLocationChange() Or evaluate your project and ask why such a niche event is needed, and if there are substitute approaches to consider

The vast majority of the time the 1st and 3rd person models are either identical, or might as well be identical. This may be a Fallout/etc spillover, since guns are probably different 1st vs 3rd person. And whatever reason the game treats the player different than npcs with how 3rd person gear visibility works. Just quirky overall, and you just play with it till it does/looks as desired

For NPCs, first person (static) weapon model isn't seen. The NPC shows whatever the art file is for the actual weapon. As for the player, it's the opposite Going off memory from making mods in LE. Special Edition may have changed all this so I guess test and see

Best to realistically aim to do, is change how attacks look. Plenty of mods out there make it where leaping animations occur as part of attack and other aesthetic changes Overhauling the way the game completely works, like you imply wanting to do, is not just some small project. Check out jump attack mods on nexus and you might notice why it never really happened

Gotta know how to open them at all first. And that mod dylbill linked looks like a good starting point First part of invoking a wheel menu: UI.InvokeForm("CustomMenu","_root.WheelPhase.WheelBase." + "setWheelForm",0x14) Part of opening a listmenu UI.OpenCustomMenu("WhateverListMenu",0) then UI.InvokeStringA("CustomMenu","_root.listMenu." + "LM_AddTreeEntries",EntryVariable) etc If IPreferWheel WheelRoutine... ElseIf IPreferList ListRoutine... EndIf On top of all that you have to register for modevents to listen for your selections. At any rate, it is an overcomplicated and difficult to figure out process that you have to really want before its very feasible. You should play around with UIExtensions and mods like above to start
