Changing the status of objects.

[filledb]

Hi Folks, I hope I am in the right place to ask this question.

Could someone please tell me how to change the status of an object that is place in an interior to "non-stolen" 'cos all the stuff I place indoors has the little red hand. I know it is probably a silly question but I am really new at modding....

Peace

Well the interior cell you are placing the object is probably owned by somebody else. If you want to make all the objects in that cell owned by no one, you can right click on the editor entry in Cell View and press edit, under the Interior Data tab is a combo box that you can select the owner of the entire cell in. Now you probably don't want to change that, because it effects all the items in the cell, and if an NPC owns the stuff there then he will have a lot of trouble.

Alternatively you can add specific ownership by double clicking on the particular object in the render window. From there click the ownership tab and you can define the ownership on a per item basis. Now remember a containers ownership means that everything IN the container belongs to the owner.

Now who do you pick as owner? Well if you want the player to own the item set it to Player. Selecting "NONE" for an individual object will cause it to inherit its cells ownership. Selecting NONE for a cell will mean all objects are available to you and any NPC.

I think this covers what you are asking.

@Others, if I misstated anything tell me.

Welcome to TESA filledb

Cosmo is on the right track, alternately you can also set items/cells to be owned by "Player Faction" in the faction list of the ownership tab, so that players and their companions can enjoy the use of everything.

I would highly suggest you also take a browse through TESA's modding school, The Enclave. The Construction Set Basics class is the perfect place to start getting your feet wet.
