TaxiVader Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I am trying to make a variety of bookshelves for a room. I have followed the CK (original, not SE) tutorial for this and got a great working shelf using CommonShelf01 (using Skyrim CK orig, not SE, because of load times. I'm assuming that simple vanilla assets are the same between the 2 versions). I can duplicate this and populate a room with bookshelves no worries. However, I tried to follow the same method using NobleShelf04 as the base object for placement of the references and it WILL NOT WORK. I have tried to change the LinkedRef to BookShelfTrigger02 after trying many other versions, but still only the original shelf will work when I test this in-game. The new NobleShelf04 will not work under any circumstances!! I have tried many permutations; rotate the PlayerBookShelfTrigger box, assign different PlayerBookshelfTrigger values (>1, ie 2, 3, 4), and many other attempts I can't specify here due to poor record keeping. I can't believe it's got anything to do with NobleShelf04, since they are just a detached reference object; I could (theoretically) float them in the air and they SHOULD wouk fine. BUT NO!!! I KNOW different bookshelves can work within the same cell. Please PLEASE help me!! I've already spent 14+ hours on this and am beginning to feel frustrated. I don't want to copy and paste since this seems to produce a lot of unwanted references and so will (I assume) slow the mod down. Also, I want to know how the CK works in greater detail so I can make future modificaations more efficient. ANY IDEAS??? TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agerweb Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Given how tedious making a shelf of books is, having done it once I always copy and paste. I have used the same shelf of books many times so I wouldnt worry about performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasheni Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I could (theoretically) float them in the air and they SHOULD wouk fine. BUT NO!!!Yes, it should work with everything. I made three bookshelves the last two days for the first time and used the tutorial from creationkit.com. It works with nearly every object. I copied the container but used the original bookmarker and trigger. I had to set the link for the sceond shelf to bookshelftrigger02, the third to bookshelftrigger03 and all goes well. All that I can thinking of is that there's something wrong with the links between container and trigger or the bookmarkers. What exactly is not working? Is the activator not showing up in game or do you see it but when clicking, nothing happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jucoking Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 How do I populate the shelves once I've made them (following the creation kit bookshelf tutorial)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
