New Type of Mannequin and Weapon Holders?

[Veltoss]

Hey everyone,

 

I was wondering if anyone happened to know if it were possible, and if so, how, to make a new mannequin or weapon/shield holders with existing objects? To be more specific, I'd like to make a mannequin that uses the skeleton model. I'd also like to create weapon holders that use skeleton hands to hold the weapons. I've messed around in the CK a bit trying to figure it out myself with no luck so far. The mannequin I know should be possible by having some kind of script on the skeleton that automatically equips any items put into it's inventory, but I know very little about Papyrus scripting and where to begin. The weapon holder I thought would be easy by using the existing weapon rack pieces, but nothing has worked so far.

 

If anyone knows how to do this or at least has some ideas to try, I'd much appreciate it. :happy:

You want the mannequin to look like a skeleton?

 

Create a skeleton NPC

-- you could use an existing skeleton but I'd rather not risk carrying over anything that would cause the mannequin to attack the player.

Edit the playerhousemannequin to use traits of the skeleton NPC you made

 

 

That would affect ALL stock mannequins and any mod mannequins that use the stock mannequin.

 

If you only want your custom mannequins to be affected

then place one stock mannequin,

edit the reference,

choose to edit the base,

change the ID name of the actor,

press ok on the actor record,

say yes to making a new record.

Your mannequin reference should now point to the new actor instead of the original playerhousemannequin actor.

Go back to the actor base and edit it to use the traits of a skeleton NPC (preferably one you made).

Duplicate your skeleton mannequin and it's necessary accessories (activators, pedestal, etc..) and re-position as much as you desire.

 

As far as script, there is no need if you start with the stock mannequin as it already has the script assigned...

 

hopefully that helps
