Remotely activating cobl static alchemy equiptment?

[Thalassicus]

As the title says, I'm trying to remotely activate the equipment, but in a simple way: within the same cell. There's alchemy and armorer stations in a home I'm building, and I have the armorer station automatically bring up the repair window when activated. I'd like the alchemy station to do the same with the alchemy window.

 

I tried making one of the static alchemy objects persistent, gave it a name, and called "player.Activate arathStaticAlchemyRef 1" from the object I wish to link to it, but it didn't do anything. I'm probably overlooking something obvious, if anyone has an idea?

You have the activate syntax a bit backward. It is

 

<ref to be activated>.activate <ref doing the activation>, 1

Ahh thank you... was thinking of it like player.equipitem X. Sort of odd the syntax is reversed.
