psych0hamster Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 So I'm attempting to mod some lights to snap to the center of certain ceiling pieces. I have successfully modded the meshes for the test light and the ceiling. In game the light will snap to the ceiling in the completely wrong place , x y and z POS all off. But if grab the ceiling peice in workshop mod, the ceiling immediately and cleanly snaps to the light 100 percent completely correct. This is am issue since the light needs to snap to the ceiling, not the other way round. I am using a custom name for the CPA, P-Centeredlight, I have tried every combination of the name with -dif, -dif2, etc, tried different ceiling and light prices, no matter what I do the light refuses to snap in place like the ceiling does.

Fantafaust Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 How did you edit the meshes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psych0hamster Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 I used bae to pull the nif from the vanilla archive, and us d nifskope to add the new connect points. I did try to follow several online guides, and reverse engineer a similar mod but I seem to have missed som thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantafaust Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 And having put the connect points in the mesh, how did you move them? Translation? Did you remember to Apply them after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psych0hamster Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 Yup I did indeed use translation. Yes i made sure they were applied and saved. I'll post a couple pics of the CPA s in a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be a problem. Also, try moving the snap point on the light/ceiling further out, away from the collision on both objects. Sometimes the collision interferes.

psych0hamster Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 I will try moving them lower on the ceiling. The overlapping one on the ceiling is the origion or floor point. From what I understood of what I read you could have overlapping points as long as they were named for different snap profiles. I could be wrong so I'll do something about that as well. Also should I rename the parent something beside workshopsnapprofile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psych0hamster Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 So I pushed them out pretty far, and fixed the overlapping points. And it is still giving me the strange behavior. I've started to notice that when the light snaps to the ceiling peice, the x pos is always different by the same amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
