Niteslayer Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I'm having an issue while trying to link the electrical switch activator with the utility hatch secret door activator item. I click both so they're both highlighted and try to link them via the hotkey and I get an error that says "can't link/unlink Rooms Error. If I try to click the switch and target the hatch it will not link. If anyone has had this problem please help me. Or if anyone has good reading material on this subject please post it for me ill read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmanners Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Are you trying to change this: http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php/Reference#Linked_Ref You should be able to just change the activator's properties and make its Linked Reference there.

Niteslayer Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 Well all I am supposed to do, I guess is make the active parent of the floor hatch read as the electrical switch. This is how it's done everywhere else in the game. I can't do that so I just ctr + C'ed some other one and pasted it in my room and changed the reference name lol. Works fine. I don't know why I can't set the door to have the switch as a parent. I read very few tutorials and just look at things in game to get examples and that has served me well so far :). Plus most of my experience comes from modding TES Morrowind and Oblivion and this is pretty similar. I just don't know how if I am doing something wrong while trying to set the parent. It doesn't even show the electrical switch in the menu, however if I set the hatch to be the electrical switches parent I can open the hatch by clicking it and it will switch the light from green to red on the electrical switch. It's all screwy, but I figure it's probably user error. It's my understanding that I should just be able to click the hatch (activator hatch not static) and go to enable parent then choose the electrical switch from the menu in my cell. It just wont let me do that so I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmanners Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Might be some weird quirk with non-animating type doors. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
