how do i set an an enemy to lay in wait crouched

[AlphaWoIF]

Ive got a custom creature rigged to a human skel and there habitat is to lurke in rivers and water courses where ever i choose to place them but i would really like them to lay in wait in the actual water crouched so they are almost submerged and hard to spot and can ambush you.

So i ask how would i set this state on them in the ck as i have already placed them but they are just in the standing pose.

thnx

I would think that you have to select a correct AI package created by yourself or taken from another NPC who stays at crouch at some point in the game. I know there was something like that but I cannot quite recall where it can be found. I will look into this.

In the Packages Flags tab there's an option to "always sneak".

You could try package E3PatrolSneak.

thanks guy its perfect, they are crouched underwater waiting ! for some fool to stray to close to the waters edge, and now they even have some creepy slouched walk .

AlphaWolf, are there any good tutorials on how to rig custom meshes to existing skyrim skeletons? Cheers.

i cant really say , apart from using google or youtube as i have never looked myself , i learned to rig elsewhere for a different game.

you could give this section a look http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/522532-skyrim-tutorials/

,but if your tool of choice is blender then i will be no help as i hate the program.

my personal tip would be to start of small and work up to harder parts as you become more experianced.

start with a simple helm really easy to do. then boots .Under the arms is one of the hardest areas but i find that riiging with a simple animations loaded like walking and running is the best way to do it as you get to see the results on the fly.
