Animated object problem

[KorinOo]

Hello. I'm quite new to CK and i encountered a problem while doing my first animation, or rather movable static. I followed few guides and after solving several problems by myself I ended up with one ultimate problem: the animation of my object is properly played in CK but it's not played in game. I have no idea how to fix this and would be really grateful if some1 could point me what might be the cause of this.

 

I attach the .zip file with my nif

Have the exact same problem, also happy to hear a answer as well :3

Ok, i solved the problem. I have been told that i have to make a script that will trigger the animation, but that would not work (there is no "animation" for the script to trigger). But I didn't have to script anything. The problem was that the BSX Flags was set wrong and the NitransformMenager was done all wrong and unnecessary, so i deleted it. Now the animation is played and looped in game as i wanted w/o any script or triggers.

Did you delete the NitransformMenager and the BSX Flags, or did you change the BSX Flags?

[KorinOo]

changed BSX Flags and then deleted nitransformmeneger

Here u have the final nif so you can see by yourself how it should look like http://www.sendspace.pl/file/8a7a97c5515a69d5ee58561

Just make it movable static and place in game. It should play the animation (looped)

I've been crapping around with the BSX Flags (actually had no idea what I was doing, just random stuff) and didn't have a NitransformMenager to delete. My nif also didn't really look similar to yours so I couldn't really figure anything out from that either.

Since I'm really 100% stuck and clueless could you maybe have a look at it and give me some tips? I'd REALLY appreciate it (been trying to make this work for about 2 weeks >.>).

Well i looked into your nif and the difference compared to mine nif is that you have the biped(skeleton) animation and I have simple "move/rotate object" animation. I never worked with biped's so i have no idea what should it look like. But... there are lots of tutorials for biped animation for skyrim (eg. construction set site have one, I have seen it while i was looking for solution to my problem) those should help you. And if you want this horse/unicorn to work like normal horse in skyrim then i suppose you should look into vanilla horse nifs and see how they are made. That's all help i can give you :(

OK thanks ^^ (never even know it was called a biped animation so that should help allot) and it's actually not going to be a horse/unicorn to ride on, but an arrow ^^.

Would it be something like this? I'm not entirely sure what hes doing so I'd like to ask you before spending a full hour on it if you don't mind :P (sorry for bothering you about small stuff like this).

W8, so you want to make an arrow. Why you want it to be animated? And how? And if you want to animate arrow then why you give me a nif of a horse with a carrot on a forehead? I checked and the horse animation (skeleton) is actually called idle animation. So i would look for that.
