Spawn Power Armor Frame next to PC

[Qrsr]

I would like to alter 1 of 4 power armor frame crafting recipes, those PC can purchase from vendors, e.g. Myrna at DC Market. All of those purchaseable frames spawn a power armor frame on a fixed marker location. I would like to create a crafting recipe which will spawn the Power Armor Frame next to the player instead of one of those 4 given location marker.

 

Example:

PowerArmorFrameDCMarker [REFR:00218C50] (places XMarkerHeading [STAT:00000034] in GRUP Cell Persistent Children of [CELL:00000FEF] (in DiamondCity "Diamond City" [WRLD:00000F94]) at 0,0)

I know PC has a specific location;

FormID Player [NPC_:00000007]

But its defined as "NPC_" and not "STAT" (XMarkerHeading / XMarker).

 

How can i setup a (dynamic) marker next to PC or the current workbench? Hopefully its possible without using scripts. Cheers

 

EDIT, Workaround;

 

1) Create a workshop crafting recipe, e.g. craft furniture power armor and set the requirement to an item of choice, e.g. power armor schematics

2) Create a crafting recipe, e.g. craft furniture power armor which will spawn in the PC inventory and can be dropped which will automatically spawn the PA frame next to PC

That's a pretty tidy workaround there bub. :thumbsup:

 

There is this which to my mind was vaguely related, but doesn't meet the scriptless requirement which you so elegantly handled. :geek:

 

However, it does have source code: Power Armor Quick Equip

This would be good if PA somehow Shazaam'ed onto the player at the workstation as it does in that mod.

 

Ohterwise, thanks for the :ninja: tidbit!

Workaround 3, create as many crafting recipes as there are workshops, settlements. Tie all recipes to one specific settlement, e.g. set a condition. In the condition refer to the entry point of that settlement (XMarker).

Isn't there a spare room you can do that in or something? :armscrossed:

Heh, (a question that is useful in more situations than this). :blush:

But seriously, isn't that what the "test cell" is for?

Unfortunately i couldnt find any information doing research on XMarker etc neither on G nor on the GECK nor on the Creation Kit wiki. It works already but it would be handy to know for sure, cheers.
