[LE] Newbie - Placing Potions

[cryptdix]

So I just started this yesterday and am still trying to follow tutorials and figure the creation kit out. A couple of objects I've had trouble finding are potions and certain things such as quivers, sacks of gold, etc.

 

I went to the *All tab and set the filter to potion and looked through the object window that way and noticed that there are different potions listed that are not place-able and that have the icon of a green box with a question mark on it. What exactly is this and how can I place, for example, a potion of minor healing or a certain amount of arrows in a quiver on the ground?

 

Edit: I understand that the green boxes refer to Listed objects, but I'm unsure how to manipulate/place these. On a side note, I'm also trying to figure out how to place objects such as the little Apothecary Satchels or Knapsacks that have listed objects spawn in them.

Placeable potions can be found under Magic\Potions in the Object Window. If you want to place a leveled potion, then search for "Dummy" under All or Potions and place a DummyPotion. It will be invisible unless you turn Markers on, with the M key by default. Double click the DummyPotion Reference, go the Leveled Item tab and pick the kind of potion you want.

 

Same goes for arrows. They can be found under Items/Ammo and have a Dummy version aswell. If you want to place arrows in a quiver, then double click the Reference, go to the Extra tab and in the Count box put as many arrows as you deem necessary. The arrow should automatically turn into a quiver.

 

Other things have Dummy versions too. Dummy swords, axes, general one-handed or two-handed weapons, armor, soulgems, books, etc.

 

As for gold pouches, they can apparently be found under World Objects\Flora\Plants as CoinPurseSmall, CoinPurseMedium and CoinPurseLarge. Singular coins can be found under Items\MiscItem\Clutter as Gold001.

 

Knapsacks and Apothecary Satchels are in World Objects\Cointainers\Clutter as TreasKnapsack, TreasAlchemySatchelCommon, TreasAlchemySatchelUncommon and TreasAlchemySatchelRare.

 

Hope that helps.

Whoa... that was totally not intuitive from an authoring standpoint. Locigally, there should be a container with a quiver mesh and you would store arrow Form references inside, like you do with every container
