Shield Mount problems

[Eirohir]

First time poster,

 

I'm having a lot of trouble trying to create a shield mount for a custom home, I keep running into the same problem, after I link the plagues to the triggers and set the keywords wracktrigg and wrackshield, they appear in game looking as they should and accepting mounts, but when I add my weapons and shields they appear in weird places and not on the racks and plague's, one fix I found was rotating the Z Axis by 1' but that hasn't worked the weapons and shields still appear in the wrong place, another thing I have tried is to import them from a working cell, like proudspire mannor for example, but when I import them, the stop functioning and wont activate, once a shield I imported with the mount fell to the floor after loading up.

 

So I hope someone can help figure this out, the shield mounts will the the final flourish to an epic armoury / home, I had very little trouble adding npc's, bards, vendors, trainers and even created some dragonborn children as an extra dimension to the story, they all wander freely about dragonborn mannor sleeping, eating and generally having a good time, in the armoury I have 30 working mannequins with their own chest to swap out gear and weapons, behind them there are 4 weapon mounts, 2 on each side, and above those I want to place shield mounts to fully showcase each armour suit and weapons from Fur and Leather, to Dragon and Daedric.

Also in the armoury I have set up display cases to house the Thane Weapons (blade of whiterun) and the Deadric lord's boon weapons which don't have any armour or shield items to showcase.

 

I have done most of my troubleshooting through google and youtube, but I can't seem to find anyone capable of addressing the shield mounting issue I keep bashing my head into a wall in dispair.

 

You would have to agree that having each suit of armour on display with all the weapons and shields behind them, crafted up to legendary, all in a neat tidy space, would truly look awesome, I haven't attempted to create my own armour yet, since the shield mount issue is slowing me down quite a lot.

 

Thanks for reading, any comments / suggestions are very welcome, and if someone thinks of a fix for mounting the shields please let me know.

 

Cheers

For the plaque, use the keyword WRackActivator to link to the activator. The activator should have the keyword WRackTrigger for the linked ref.

 

Also, whenever you're testing things like weapon racks, display cases, bookshelves, etc., make sure you load a save you made outside the cell you are editing and without the plugin activated.

Thank you mate, never considered loading from outside and moving in D'oh.

 

But just to be clear, that will work with the shield mount?? because I could almost swear it needed it's own keyword, I'll test it later and see what results I get linking playerhousecoamidplaque with playerhousecoamidactivator I'll try both keywords and see what happens.

 

Thanks for the reply
