mooshakes Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I'd like to create this mod but my experience is more related to 3d modeling/texturing/animating etc and not a lot of programming, so any help and advice would be great. Goal: Create an npc that sorts the items in my home into different containers (the house is already done with labeled non-respwaning containers). So for example, I come home after pillaging and looting and I put all of my new items into a barrel named "sort". The npc goes to the "sort barrel" and pulls out all of the alchemy ingredients, walks to the other end of the room, and puts them into the cabinet named "Ingredients". The npc then takes out all the soul gems from the sort barrel and puts them into a jewelry box labeled "soul gems". Continue for potions, poisons, weapons, etc. I do not want the npc to pick up any items on the ground, only from the sort barrel. Is this possible to do? I've read about using the escort ai package to move items, but nothing about moving generic items to specific containers. Can I make a schedule telling it to sort one type of item at 8am, then another at 3pm, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fg109 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) It's possible to do it through scripting. I don't think it's possible through AI packages. Doing it through scripting actually doesn't require the NPC at all. Of course, you could still have an NPC walk from container to container for cosmetic purposes, but it wouldn't have any real functionality.

bben46 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I have seen this done in a mod, Verona House Bloodlines. You could look at Dtom's scripts to see how he did it.http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=14601 Or, a mod that sorts into containers you define but doesn't use a NPC.
