Object wont stay put in game

[stankirby]

I retextured a vanilla object with a stone texture and wanted to use CS, insert it half way into a large rock.

At this point it jumps out of the rock and disappears when I load up a save game.

I'm still learning the ins and out of modding.

Is it havok, persisitent or........................???

Not sure how to make it stay put.

Eventually i want to make it "scripted" to accept some jewels and produce a scroll for the player to pick-up, read and get a map marker or spell to go to my new world space.....

once i take DR's upcoming class.

Any help or suggestions???

Thank you,

Most likely it's havok. In Nifskope click on bhkRigidBody something (in block list window), then in Block Details window change where it says OL_CLUTTER into OL_STATIC, save new mesh and if I'm not wrong, it should be static.

And in CS, if you want to script it make it an activator - not static object.

Edit: Or not...

Thanks Washington!

I'll go tinker with Nifscope!

These properties have nothing to do with objects' behavior. They only determine color of collision, and nothing else.

If you want to change how objects react in game you need to change mass, motion system, quality type and few other options respectively.

Ok, I was wrong. I never tried that actually. Could you respond what needs to be changed then?

Stan, there's also imo better and simpler option of importing in Blender and then exporting as Static.

Actually, you only need to change 2 things. The mass and inertial dont really matter, but you can make then zero as well.

1. Load NIF into Nifskope.

2. Open:

> NiNode

> bhkCollisionObject

> bhkRigidBody

3. In the "block Details" of 'bhkRigidBody':

- Motion system ->change to MO_SYS_KEYFRAMED

- Quality Type -->change to MO_QUAL_FIXED

Object will now be motionless in the game but you can still interact with it with an OnActivate block of code, for example.

Thank you all!

Now to file this away for another day.

Changed my NIF per WillieSeas instructions!

Perfect in game now!!

Thank you!
