Help with Shield Plaques

Post » Mon Nov 19, 2012 6:54 pm

So, I'm making a player home (Yes, yet another player home out there, hurrah).

However, whenever I put any weapons on the Shield Plaque (WeaponRackCOALeftPlayerHouse and so forth, with corresponding activators and properly linked, I assume).

The weapons will float above the weapon plaque, while the shield will be showed as normal.
I would of included a picture, but it says I'm not allowed to post "Links".

Am I missing something here?

Do you need more details?

Any and all help is appreciated.

I'm not really sure what could be causing this. I presume you tested it with different weapons? If not, then it might be a problem the way that specific weapon was set up :shrug: A quick way to test that would be to go in game to a vanilla weapon plaque and try your weapon with it

If it works with the vanilla one, in one of the "warehouse" cells there are pre made weapon plaques. Just select all the pieces including the weapon (try not to move them or you'll add a dirty edit) and ctrl+c. Then go back to your cell, ctrl+v then put them in position. Finally, select the weapon and press ctrl+f to replace it with whichever weapon you want (doing it this way retains the link).

I've tried it with different weapons, yeah. I suppose you've seen the Shield plaque above the bed in Breezehome? Well, I set my own up like that. But all of the vanilla plaques works properly. I got a few normal weapon plaques too, and they're working fine. Also the Mannequins I've made, aswell as the Display cases and Dagger cases. Even the Bookcase I made works. But I'll try what you said and report back.

Thank you.


*EDIT*

What I mean is that in-game, if I mount a sword/axe/greatsword or battleaxe, it floats above.
I haven't actually tried putting any weapons on it in the Creation Kit itself.

Alright. Tried that out, and the sword was still floating above the plaque, while the shield was placed properly. Well, that's certainly annoying.

Went to the Warehouse Prefab cells, CTRL + C'ed the weapon plaque, the activators and the weapons and pasted them into my own cell.

Could it be a problem that the weapon plaque is placed on a FarmBDivider?
If not, I'm pretty blank. But then again, I've tried having it float out in the middle of the room, to make sure it wasn't because it was touching the wall and such, and got the same results.

It seems to be a glitch with weapon racks and weapon/shield plaques. They won't work correctly when they're angled at 90 degrees. To fix it, just change the angle of the plaque components (left, right and the middle button) to 89.9 or 90.1 (3d Data, Rotation, Z) Cf. weapon plaque in Windhelm Hjerim, the one beneath the big mounted elk.

Ah, I see.
Well, I didn't know about that (meh, still pretty new to the Creation Kit. Well, maybe not new, but I haven't actually finished any of my projects before).

Thank you for this information, and thanks for the quick replies, from both of you.
