Can you edit what items can be stored in power armor frames?

[Metalmaxter]

Is it possible to edit the power armor frame inventory so it can carry any item, not just armor pieces and power cores.

I really want to use the power armor like a mobile container in survival mode.

is this possible in creation kit?

 

please forgive me I am a complete noob with this stuff.

 

thanks,

Not really. You have some limited ability to expand things, but generally PA frames, particularly the furniture version, functions like a mannequin. You can add armor pieces, and thatâs just about it. Thereâs a little leaway here, but not much. No weapons Iâm afraid...unless they are set up to be worn as armor pieces. The biggest problem is that much of the PA system is hard coded, and not designed very well for modding.

I like your line of thinking, very asymmetrical hehehe.

"Horadaric-Cube pocket-dimension-y " style stuff huh.

 

assuming you don't want to model all said carried things on the power-armor

like "wearable junk/weapons' / "human-magnet" cartoon style...

 

yes, it is possible to use a power-armor frame to carry things...

look at how the JunkJet functions (and, "Junkjet inside a junkjet...-ception)

Method: clone a junkjet,

console-command weld the junkjet to a power-armor torso,

toggle opacity of the JunkJet.

Done.

 

it's a hidden container reference... you can then put items into that container etc.

Or, consider the PowerArmor Companion mod, which also has such hidden-container refs,

or, the "TARDIS" mobile companion-settlement, (that's a rectangular prism with a "just-in-time/from menu" door-portal...)

or, RuadHan/Pra's Teleportal stuff... Any Door To AnyWhere, you name it.

 

Some folks have also made custom Power Armor torsos

with containers lashed to a raider torso by chains and rope,

to be like a "cargo-carry model", which is perma-stuck at class A/ weak-end torso.

 

Likewise, someone made an 'auto-looter' which is a weightless-junkjet which, when 'fired',

will auto-loot the stuff in the cone of 'firing"...

oh that is some good ideas, thank you!

think im going to try and figure out that junk jet trick

trying to do this with FO4 VR mostly and i tried to us the power armor autopilot and its a no go in vr.

cant use any mod that relies on the script extender :(

do you happen to Know if anyone has published a cargo carry model on nexus?

 

thanks again!!!

thanks so much for the info, that is helpful to know

unfortunately im using these mods for FO4 VR so i cant use any mod that uses the script extender.
