Help me make a simple mod

[jabkiller0]

I am trying to make a spell/enchantment that puts a cage around the target.

 

Here is the script i made

 

scn testcagetrap

begin scripteffectstart

placeatme 000346f5 1 0 1

end

 

It places the cage around the target, but there are problems... First of all the people get out within a minute most of the time. Also i need a way for the cages to disappear when the map is loaded again (as in i click a door to change areas then go back), and they dont seem to do so for me.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Edit: Sorry I didnt realize it but I think I put this in the wrong section of the forums...

You can pm a moderator to move it or if they see this just move it. Ive had to do it...

 

 

Alot of time creatures/npcs/actors in general can get out of a trap if they are clipping the collision mesh. If they clip the collision enough they can in a sense wedge themselves out. (a collision mesh is an invisible barrier around a model that talks to the havok system and allows you not to fall through it)

 

you could make a timer that would disable the cage after it expired. Not sure, but you could have a problem with referencing. though. I am unsure about what you using as an object. This is also not something I have looked into directly (like so many things). I learn by doing and do as I need. Maybe someone with more specific knowledge can get you closer to answer but at least i can give few tidbits.
