Placing NPC Problem

[RedDragonDreamer]

Hi All,

I am trying to place a NPC into a Oblivion Torture Cage, all's fine and well in the CS....However when I go ingame to see them instead of being inside the Oblivion Torture Cage, they are on the floor instead! What am I doing wrongly? Please I really am befuddled as to why they are not where I placed them, even have no wander package....

Thanks in advance for you guys help.

I suspect you mean the cage is above ground? You need to place path nodes up in the cage. Otherwise they will 'snap' to the closest path grid.

Yes the cage is above ground, I never knew that the cages required path nodes. Thanks so much for your help. Going to try it out soon.

You might also want to place an XMarkerHeading, found in the Statics tab. Then add a Travek package to the NPC with the XMarkerHeading as destination. The NPC will then always stick to this location, assuming you don't want him to move elsewhere.

Using Subspaces does the job very well. Just resize it to the appropiate size in the CS.

Thanks for the advice however even using subspace, pathgrids hasn't fixed it, he still falls through.

But, having a xmarker and a travel package worked a treat!

Thanks so much!
