[SKY]Adding passive hidden perk to player to create new interaction

[bleakraven]

Hi TESA!

 

While dabbling in perks, I saw that we can add a new activation option to anything via it being set as "Entry Point -> Activate -> Add Activate Choice".

 

However, it seems that this is not working out for me. My Perk Owner conditions are Player == 1 and my target conditions are CoastalDriftWood01 == 1. The perk is added to the player via picking up an item.

 

When pointing at the CoastalDriftWood01 item, I still don't get the choice to activate it... Did I forget to do something? The perk is set as Playable and Hidden.

You cannot 'activate' objects in that way. The perk is for adding 'extra' activation options to an object/actor that is already activatable.

 

First, your CoastalDriftWood01 must be activatable and it must be in the 'activator' folder in the construction set. If it does not have the proper havoc collision on the mesh, you can always put a trigger zone around it that is activatable. And put your activate script on the trigger zone.

Aaaw... So there's no way to dynamically add this option for all my CoastalDriftWood? I wanted it to turn the other variants (CoastalDriftWood01-03) into activateable objects too. Thanks btw!

Sure there are ways. If it does not have the correct collision, then you can add it using Nifskope.

And you would need to 'replace all' the static driftwood to the activatable kind. Put your script on that and your done.
