'Attach Parent Slot' problems/question

Recommended Posts

I'm playing around with some new approaches for my Simpel Weapon Apparel series.

I'm adding a Keyword for the muzzles when adding a Object Modification using the 'Attach Parent Slot' with contains the muzzles for the requested barrel-lenght.

It works fine, the barrel resets the muzzle and the option to choose the corresponding muzzle for that barrel appears.

What bugs me, it's that the selection menu disappears when selecting a new barrel (those who have a parent slot attached) and you need to go back one step in the crafting menu to see the whole menu again.

What am I doing wrong? I there a way to cirumvent that effect or is it a engine problem?

And while I'm on it... how do I sort the sections in the crafting menu?

If adding Mod association keywords by OMOD, may happen, CK always issues a warning "they don't work in instance data" (like that), but in game everything is functional still. That's what i have, and just ignore that minor trouble.

 

Also, do all barrels have the same attach point keyword for muzzle or each one has own ?

hey hereami

 

thx for the info. so nothing to do there, to bad... what about the sorting? do you know how to sort the menu?

 

about the muzzles, I made a keyword per barrel-lenght. 2 different barrel-lenghtes = 2 keywords

Hm, look. What i had, were custom slots, whose mods do add/remove new parent slots and ma_keywords simultaneously, so i always blamed ma_, according to CK warnings, but obviously, switching parent slots is more crucial part.

You may try it different: make a single parent ap_ for muzzle on all barrels, and add specific Mod assoc keywords for each barrel type, e.g. ma_barrel_short etc. Muzzles should use them as Target OMOD Keyword. This way there won't be attach points disappearing (causing the issue, i guess?), only ma_ switching.

 

Possibly, this DefaultObject ModMenuSlotKeywordList and its formlist are responsible for existing slots sorting. Somehow stupid, but still can't figure out, how custom slots are sorted - not by form ID, not by editor id, not by name, not by ap keywords order on the base object, how, really...
