dsr1231248D Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 So I started making a mod by joining a team, it's looking pretty good so far, but now I'm quite stuck as I need to make a flashlight attached to the body, however I have find very little about edditing flashlights and almost nothing about moving the flashlight from head to body. I'm at the point where I just broke it, its on the ground facing right... yeh. Anyone has any sort of tutorial or explanation about them, specially if there is any extra edits on nifscope or creation kit (or even FO4Edit)? I've understood almost everything about mods, armor, placing them, crafting, etc. but nothing about flashlights (other than an addon unique number).

jkruse05 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Presumably you would set it up as a piece of armor that attaches to an unused slot. Take a look at the TNR Shoulder Lamp, it does something similar, examining it may help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsr1231248D Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 I'll give it a look and see what I can find, thanks for the reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsr1231248D Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 I've been trying to inspect it, but I don't understand where I'm making my mistake. As far as I've seen they are the same, but mine doesnt work. Any other suggestion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkruse05 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I can try taking a look at your .nif, but armor really isn't my forte. I haven't ventured into that can of worms since making a helmet for Oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsr1231248D Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 If you do, I wish you the best of luck, because I feel like I've reached to the point where my .nif looks almost the same as the flashlight from TNR (with the mesh and addon node being the diference) and nothing really happened. However if you do end up doing it and find something do tell me, as I'm quite blind probably jumped over something :P.

BlahBlahDEEBlahBlah Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Attach point issue maybe?(Donât quite remember if those were straight attach point dependent or needed weighting also) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkruse05 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Attach point issue maybe?(Donât quite remember if those were straight attach point dependent or needed weighting also)That's kindof what I was thinking, about needing weighting, but I don't know enough about making armor to really say for sure.

BlahBlahDEEBlahBlah Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Guess easy enough to find out. Just have to check the vanilla one for either a child connect point setup or a skininstance (Ie: weighting) on the trishape (probably bssubindextrishape). Havenât looked at a flashlight (by the way, are meaning for like for the Minerâs Helmet or PA or something) in a while, for sure, heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkruse05 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 From what I understand he wants to attach something similar to the miner's light somewhere on the torso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
