Help: Spawning a full set of BoS Combat Armor on a settler.

Hi.

 

I'd love to be able to spawn complete combat armor sets of specific configurations for my settlers. Mostly for RP reasons (i.e. BoS soldiers at boston Airport).

 

Now, I've yet to figure out how to exactly approach this and am only totally certain that creating the items via console without going 'spawn->drop->amod->pickup->trade' every single time isn't really the way to comfortably do this.

 

- Do I need to create a template of some sort?

- Do I need to change leveled lists?

- Do I HAVE to create (and learn from basically nothing) a mashup of the bos uniform + combat armor pieces?

 

I keep looking at mods that add NPC wearing proper gear to find out how on gods earth this is being done and not having them spawn in default-combat armor of random sizes... Just, I don't really know what exactly I am looking for.

 

I'd be really happy about some pointers.

I've been looking at finding out how the various guards are getting spawned in JTBryants Sim Settlements addon. Those seem to follow very strict rules, and still their gear uses custom painjobs, if installed. Meaning it must use a combination of specific vanilla items.

 

If I only knew what records exactly I'd have to look at. The object templates contain all options for combat armor, yet every guard spawned has the same combination of i.e. "heavy right shoulder, medium left"

So, now I'm looking to create some outfits and only later mess with leveled lists. I think my chances are better of finding howtos and tutorials about how to create some custom outfit then specifically for making my own leveled list. PLUS complete all-in-one-outfits should be a lot easier to spawn using console commands.

 

But let me tell you: Either I'm totally dense, or this combat armor thing is killing me. How on earth do I set it to the correct paintjob/material? I got the logo set up... but the darn thing isn't looking BOS at all. Well, I'll continue this battle another day. And one day I'll be able to equip guards equipped just like the default BoS soldiers you can meet out in the field...

 

Does anyone have a pointer of how I'd go to create a standalone "BOS Combat Armor" in CK? Because that would help a lot, already. Basically just a default Combat Armor with the bos paint applied. I need to check that the next time I have time to mess with this.

Just reporting: I actually managed to solve this. I had to create a standalone version of each part of combat armor specifically spawning with bos-paint, but it works. What cost me a lot of time was UCO messing with the whole CA spawning system, as it seems. So, now I'll have to live without that mod until I find the motivation to make my little bos spawning mod and UCO compatible.

 

For now I'm a happy little player. :D
