NPC spawn dead

[Lehcar]

How did Bethesda do this with the murdered people in the Anvil Lighthouse basement without the use of scripts? Get them in those dead positions?

 

My question is how do you make it so an NPC is already dead and how to do you get it into those "dead" positions? In game the NPC I made IS dead because I set his health to zero, I can loot his "corpse" and everything, but he's just standing there still as a statue like he's still alive when he isn't. How do I actually make it look like he is dead?

Next to the pathgridding button at the top is a havok button. It pretty much makes the thing that you have selected move, it makes other Havok enabled objects move, but not until you bump them, etc. I'd recommend saving your mod before you do so though, sometimes it makes the CS crash.

But how does the havok sim work? How do I put my dead NPC into a dead pose?

After you press the HavokSim button, your NPC wil fall to the ground. You can then arrange his position by holding Ctrl and Alt, selecting a body part (arm, leg, head, etc.) and moving it.
