How to use ShowRaceMenu on an NPC

[PJMail]

I have played around with this, and searched all these forums, and this function does not work as documented on NPC's.

 

The console version works fine (slm NPCpid), but scripting the above function just sits there until you press return and confirm to exit.

I have tried NPCref.SetHasCharGenSkeleton() before - no difference. Has anyone got looksmenu to work for an NPC via script?

 

Thanks

Finally got this to work - needed them to have "playerkeyword" and be 'sitting' at a "NPCSinkFacegenMarker" instance - as well as the rest of the chargen stuff...

e.g.

Keyword PlayerKeyword = Game.getform(0x99306) as Keyword
NPC.AddKeyword(PlayerKeyword)
Furniture NPCSinkFacegenMarker = Game.getform(0x17986C) as Furniture
akFaceGenFurn = NPC.PlaceAtMe(NPCSinkFacegenMarker as Form, 1, False, False, True)
NPC.SetHasCharGenSkeleton(True)
NPC.ChangeAnimFaceArchetype(None)
Utility.Wait(2.0)
NPC.SnapIntoInteraction(akFaceGenFurn)
Utility.Wait(2.0)
Self.RegisterForMenuOpenCloseEvent("LooksMenu")
Game.ShowRaceMenu(NPC as ObjectReference , 1, None, None, None)

(and then clean up everything on the "looksmenu" close event).

Event OnMenuOpenCloseEvent(string asMenuName, bool abOpening)
If ((asMenuName == "LooksMenu") && !abOpening)
	Self.UnRegisterForMenuOpenCloseEvent("LooksMenu")
	akFaceGenFurn.Delete()
	NPC.SetHasCharGenSkeleton(False)
	Keyword AnimFaceArchetypePlayer = Game.getform(0xD755E) as Keyword
	NPC.ChangeAnimFaceArchetype(AnimFaceArchetypePlayer)
	Keyword PlayerKeyword = Game.getform(0x99306) as Keyword
	NPC.RemoveKeyword(PlayerKeyword)
Endif
Endevent

Now my problem is the first time I try this after resuming a game, there is no "looksmenu" overlay onscreen. If I press return I get the normal looksmenu 'cancel/confirm' changes, but can't obviously make any changes.

 

If I immediately run the script again it all works fine.

 

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Have you tried game.setcameratarget() too?

Just a wild guess though

I haven't because in both cases I was looking at the target. In fact the script is on the target so I have to face them to get the "E) Talk" (activate) option.

Everything happens the same each time I try it EXCEPT the first time I get no menu (overlay) down the bottom with "F) Face B) Body etc" - however I AM in looksmenu as it still expects me to press return to exit.
