mbradshaw Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I am making a custom deathclaw called hydraclaw.I want it to be able to burrow, but I don't see in GECK a setting that states enable burrow or tunnel. I have looked at rad scorpions Nd mole rats, but don't see anything obvious. I see that both have tunnel entrance and tunnel exit animations. There are sounds for burrowing. There is a keyword that disables tunneling. Any insights or suggestions will be appreciated! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouDoNotKnowMyName Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) Have a look at the T"unnelingRaceFX" script. (Unpack all the game archive files into some folder somewhere, NOT THE INSIDE THE ACTUAL DATA FOLDER, and have a look at the "scripts" folder. You will probably have to decompile the scripts, there is a tool for that somewhere on the Nexus ...) You will see lots of references to "SubGraph" stuff ...You will probably have to generate those for your new race. (I believe that that "SubGraph" thing is what "controls" the "behavior" of actors, but I don't know ...) (And the tools needed for that are probably not available anywhere ...) But I have no idea about how to do something like this, I just had a quick look ... Edited October 5, 2020 by YouDoNotKnowMyName Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbradshaw Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 I didn't think of scripts would be the way! I kept searching for everything I could through xedit and geck. Thanks I will start there and see what I can find out:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I will start there and see what I can find out:)Yes, I think there is maybe a formlist that defines what creatures can "tunnel" or something like that.Or the needed scripts are just attached to the base reference ... But like I said, I have never done something like this ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorkaz Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 My CK is currently generating auto-navmesh so I can't look it up for hours but maybe the ambush script from the other ambush creatures helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbradshaw Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 I have extracted and decompiled with champollion the scripts. I looked at the tunnelingracefx.psc looks like it just triggers the dirt as they enter or exit. Not seeing a way to add to races. Description says: "adds fx for tunneling actors by magic fx on race" Hmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouDoNotKnowMyName Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Ok, so I had a look at the CK and here is what I found:There is a "ActorAction" called "ActionTunnel". Don't know, but maybe you have to assign this to your race?Somehow? I don't know how ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbradshaw Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 I will look at the actions. Not sure where that would be assigned.I did find a custom creature mode that has burrowing spiders:https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/16241They used the rad scorpion as a base for that mod though.I will compare using xedit Bloodworms, molerats, rad scorpions, and rad spiders and see if I can see commonalities.Thanks for the help so far! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blinxys Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 There is a "DisableTunnelingKeyword" per mention: No More Tunneling CreaturesStands to reason there must be "Tunneling" Keyword someplace...Keep in mind: tunneling implies teleportation underground (read posts related to above).(There is one particularly telling anecdote about someone sniping a radscorpion dead from afar and getting hit by it at the same time).Not the most debugged mechanic in the game...
