How to create a working Vault door.


Recommended Posts

I've tried googling tutorials to no avail. I watched this video (which seems to be the only tutorial on the topic), so I tried it, and nothing worked. I realized that the video was outdated, but I have found no other tutorial. Can someone help me? Is there a Discord I can ask questions in? I haven't found anything that could help me at all.

When you say you tried it, how many times did you go through the video and process?  It is a quite involved and assumes you have some background knowledge of the Creation Kit and Papyrus scripting.  Just because the video is a bit dated, don't assume it is outdated.  Fallout 4 is an old game so many of the tutorials are also relatively dated.  What troubleshooting methods did you employ?  How did you test? etc.

I don't really have any background knowledge, this is my first mod. But I followed everything to a T replaying parts of the video to double-check, but nothing happened. I went to the comments section and saw a wall of "nothing happened". I don't know where to begin to troubleshoot, and I have since then deleted the door to work on something else in the meantime. However I would like to get it working, where you use the console on the inside to open it, and a trigger box closes it behind you.

A common mistake that people sometimes make is with Papyrus.  They will set up the script on their objects but neglect to fill the properties.  I did this just today on a mod that I am working.  I added a ObjectReference Property ( e.g.,  ObjectReference Property FO4_PoliceOfficersEnable Auto Mandatory) to the script, complied the script with no errors but neglect to go back and fill the properties.  The end result was nothing happened.  Don't know if this could apply in your case, but it happen more than one realizes.
