PlayAnimation should work correctly. Not sure if it will cause the OnOpen event to play properly.

 

 

Is there a list of valid strings out there somewhere? Or a way for me to find them in the CK?

 

EDIT: I was wrong, give me a second to find the correct event.

 

EDIT 2: Take a look at this.

 

EDIT 3: Or maybe this.

 

 

 

Thing is, it's already being activated, but not opened; and SetOpen, which the firebolt script example uses, doesn't appear to do anything whatsoever. It compiles fine, and since GetOpenState returns a 3 I presume the containers can be opened-- especially since the player can do so!-- but as far as I can see it just may as well be ";".

 

 

Here's the relevant code

Scriptname foamContainerActivated extends ReferenceAlias
;...

Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)
    
    ObjectReference akContainer = GetReference()
;..
    int kContainer = 28
;..
      
    Debug.Notification("Target container activated") ;fires

;..
        if(akContainer.GetBaseObject().GetType()==kContainer)
            Debug.Notification("Trying to open container") ;fires
            akContainer.SetOpen(true) ;<--- this does not open it!
            Debug.Notification(akContainer.GetOpenState()) ;returns 3-- "closed"
        endif
;..
EndEvent

:sad:

 

EDIT: I suspect that there's some mismatch going on here that makes SetOpen() failsafe on me, but I can't for the life of me figure out what.

EDIT2: I ran across someone with the same problem from back in 2012... but he got no replies. :(

Hey, so i just started getting into modding skyrim and i've got a problem, I made a new chair model, and when i put it into the game and sit on it, the option saying "use chair" doesn't go away, and the camera won't rotate or scroll, anyone know how i can fix this?

uh...i took the windhelm throne, removed the bear and dropped the height of the back a bit, recolored the cloth textures, copied the original windhelm throne in CK and replaced the model with the one i made, put it into the new area, and saved the plugin, but when you sit on it, the camera won't move like it does on other chairs....

Hi, I added some book shelves to Lakeview Manor, with all their nice activators in position. I'd really like to make them craftable at one of the interior workbenches. I tried to create a new recipe but the items I've added simply don't appear in the drop down menu "created object". What am I missing, here ?

Hey, so how do I call a function in scripts?

For instance, I want to kill an NPC when a certain stage in a quest is reached.

Someone seems to have gone through skyrim and shaved all the horses; none of them have manes! What the heck is going on?

Is there any way, at run time, to find out what aliases an object has attached to them?
