Want to mod new crafting activator (does not work =/ )

[Thorbsten]

hi everybody

 

i just started modding a new crafting-activator (same like a workbench, campfire, or reloadingbench) for chems misc and explosives.

made the items , recipes, recipe category, a script for the activator, and finally the activator.

the items work fine

recipes are visible ingame via player.showrecipemenu (if the recipe category isn't defined in GECK)

 

but...

 

the crafting activator can't be activated

and if the recipe category is defined for the recipes in GECK, NV crashes when trying to see the recipe in player.showrecipemenu by clicking on it.

 

i'm desperate... :confused: pls help this would help me a lot :yes:

 

here is the script for the activator:

 

ScriptName CraftingLabortryScript

; Launches crafting interface for recipes in the "Labortry" category.

Ref  User

Begin OnActivate

    Set User to GetActionRef
    If GetActionRef != Player
         User.Activate
    Elseif GetActionRef == Player
         player.showrecipemenu Labortry
    Endif
End

First thing that comes to mind about the activator not working is that if you haven't given the activator a name, your character won't be able to use it.

no can't be, my activator is named

I have done what you want to achieve in my mod. It might be of help taking a look at it?

 

The recipe category was needed being utilized.

 

Edit: Does the mesh of the activator item have a collision box?

don't know; i used the chemistryexperiment01.nif mesh

 

would you show me that mod pls?

That's the same vanilla mesh I am using. My mod is linked in my signature (Marijuana Plant).

 

What you're searching for would be the 'cannabisextractor'.

I gave him a kudo's though. Also if you do any modding it alwas helps to reverse engineer. NEVER build the wheel again. Just make it your demensions though. Thats computer programming 101.

If you want to instead of creating a new script for that just take the campfire script and copy the player.showrecipemenu CampfireRecipes to player.showrecipemenu Labortry. I do it in this tutorial at 5:00.

This also goes into detail on how to do the whole process if you want a step by step.
