Recipes and Crating

[antstubell]

I 'made' a new crafting table (just a new model for a armour tempering bench) which works - player hammers away at it. I have a recipe for some new arrows. Duplicated an existing recipe and added the correct misc. objects and end product. My arrows don't appear in any list, which is 1 Weapons.

Screenshot can explain much netter.

Is it even possible to create new items at a workbench? As far as I know this is only possible at the forge. Workbenches are for tempering armors.

Workbench and forge have the same underlying workings. Thus it should be possible to create new items at a custom workbench but not at a stock workbench. Why? The keywords tell the game how to interact with the workbench.

 

You'll have to play with the keywords to see what works. I would recommend the following based on what Hearthfires has on their workbenches:

SMTkywrdwoodworkBench

FurnitureSpecial

FurnitureForce3rdPerson

RaceToScale

isBlacksmithWorkbench

 

But before all that, take a look at your conditions. According to that list, your item won't appear to be crafted until the player has all the necessary items. Remove the conditions and test to see if the keywords that you already have will let the arrows appear in the crafting menu. If not, play with the keywords until they will appear in the crafting menu.

First off I thought the reason the item didn't appear was because it didn't have conditions - shot in the dark - as said conditions not required so I removed them,

I placed a forge in game and the item appears under the iron category.

After a lot of keyword experimenting....

Spent a hour messing with this with interesting results. Changed animations - forge animation at armor workbench and vice versa - by change IsBlacksmithForge to whatever you want.

Finally decided to duplicate BYOH carpenter workbench and it works 'out of the box'.
