Weapon turns invisible when out

[Silverbloodmailman]

I put a custom item into Skyrim and you can see it just fine in menus, while wearing it and while it it on the ground yet when you pull it out of the sheath and attack it does not render. I am new to this and have no clue how to fix it.

This is because it has no world mesh or texture. You need to add one for it to appear. Additionally what kind of item are you creating? and what is it meant to look like?

Its a dagger. Also, if there is no world mesh/texture why is it I can see it while its on my hip and on the ground? Is that a different thing? If so where do I pit them? Because I did not see any other areas to put them.

Well if you can see it on your hip and on the floor than it isn't a missing world mesh. Can you see it drawn in third person? Also did you make it from scratch or duplicate a dagger and edit it?

[Silverbloodmailman]

I can not see it in third person either. Or when other people are holding it. I made the weapon from scratch however the sheath is vanilla.

Well then your missing a first person texture. I'm not that good with texturing so I recommend looking at some tutorials on how to make A custom weapon.

 

PS out of curiosity, did you make your own texture/mesh? or is it vanilla?

[Silverbloodmailman]

So, I looked it up and apparently the only mesh i had was the first person so i added the third person mesh and it didn't do anything... It is a custom mesh and texture.

Hurts my eyes when someone is talking with wrong terms.

 

missing TEXTURE would make the weapon purple, which is not the case here.

Missing MESH would cause either invisibility or red triangle .

 

You are missing first person version of the mesh, that's why it is not visible.

Go to the window where you created the weapon, in one of tabs there's something called "first person" or such. (Really CK, y u no work without Skyrim? Can't inspect things I'd love to know)

 

Anyhow, you need to create the first person version of the mesh. This can be done in > Miscelleneous > static

Search with 1st for example, you should see tons of other first person meshes. Open one, change ID, set the correct path for mesh, OK

Go to weapon window and link the path to it.

I added the file onto the workshop (sorry, even the working meshes have awful looking textures), as for the first person model, I already had one of those. Weather it is set up properly is beyond me.
