SSE Need help on how to create misc item crafting station.

[Vega1942]

Hi all,

 

I have basic knowledge on how to operate the creation kit. so far, I've created a custom workbench, and a custom misc item. what I want to do is to make it so that when I activate the misc item in my inventory it opens the crafting menu. I know that I might need scripting to do so, but I have no idea how.

 

any help is appreciated.

OnEquip would do it in a pinch. That event gets triggered when you attempt to equip a misc item, aka when you click it in your inventory. It will give a notification you might deem unimmersive though. It says you cant equip, and will tell you every time

 

An alternative could be OnRead() with a book. The book itself need not have text, but it wont give that message, and should open the menu. To open the in-game crafting menu you can point to a reference table in the game, and via script, activate that table. At least thats how you typically can activate things remotely. I am assuming crafting furniture is not an exception, but it well could be

the thing is my scripting knowledge is very minimal, I know next to nothing except very basic things, I'll try one of the methods you posted and see which one works best.

Well, I spent a few hours fiddling with creation kit, I couldn't do it with either method mentioned above but I did do it using a spelleffect.

so, you cast a spell and the menu appears.

 

here's the script If anyone's wondering how I did it:

 

Scriptname TheNameYouPicked extends activemagiceffect

Actor Property PlayerRef Auto

ObjectReference Property TheObject Auto

Event OnInit()

TheObject.Activate(PlayerRef)

EndEvent

Yeah, it you check this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/75303?tab=files

It essentially adds 'remote crafting' spells to player.

Need to attach 'theObject' property to a crafting station in some cell. The stations in 'qasmoke' are a good option.

 

To do it an inventory item, some insights here:

You can alternatively, if you have SLE, check my mod to see how it's all set up and does everything from a single spell.
