Respawn items not in a container

[Scruff777]

So I am working on a mod that has an area that respawns and everthing works great except for a shelf full of ore that doesn't respawn with the space, I have plants, containers, and ores that work fine.

 

So any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

 

Another example is I want to have a axe always respawn on the chopping block so I don't have to remember to bring one, but it doesn't respawn.

 

Thanks.

I forget where it is but you did check the box to tell the item to respawn right?

Yes I have that box checked, and the cell resets fine it just doesn't replace the items that aren't in containers.

Not exactly your question but I have a feeling the answer is in there.

You are correct that is not my problem. I'm fine with containers it is the other stuff in the room, as I mentioned I want an axe to respawn, not just give me one at the start and never come back.

Your problem is probably the respawn time. Most cells respawn in like a month if I remember correctly. You would have to change the reset time on the whole cell. Ya see here: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Respawn I've seen modders do stuff like that with a script but thats way beyond me. I'm trying to remember any mods where something just respawns like you want so maybe ya can use its script but I can't think of any.

 

EDIT:

 

I just read somewhere that cell reset times can be edited with this mod: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Tes5Mod:SkyEdit Unfortunately I couldn't find any other info. If ya can deal with the whole cell resetting that may be a way to do it unless someone who is a little more knowledgeable should happen to pop in.
