Manequin/Android

Post » Sat Dec 04, 2010 4:39 am

As much as I enjoy playing the game, I cannot help being a bit of a collector in the game. I did it in Morrowind, Oblivion and Fallout 3 as well. In all the games I picked a nice location with lots of shelving space and would empty the building and then fill it with different collectable things. In morrowind I collected all the different helmets in the game. In Oblivion I started doing the same. In Fallout 3 and New Vegas I tried it with weapons.

The mod I would like to request is a Manequin/Android. It would work like a very simplified companion. Maybe there could be a vendor somewhere that you could buy one from. Once you buy one it would follow you back to wherever you want to set it up. It should have a small inventory so that you can give it a set of clothing/armour, a hat and a weapon. It should be invulnerable to damage but it should also have absolutely no reactions if attacked.

Once you have it in the place you want it to stand there should be a couple simple interaction options. These could be things such as:

1. Draw/Holster weapon. (To decide if you want to display them with a weapon drawn or holstered.)
2. Change position. (Cycles through a series of different poses.)

My goal when I fugure out how to do it is to duplicate one of the Hangars at the Nellis Air Force Base so my character can create their own Wasteland Museum.

I don't know if this would be possible or how difficult it would be. Anyone else like the idea or have any suggestions of ways to create or improve this idea?

It would probably be easier for them to come in a box than follow you home. I don't see this as interfering with the goal of the mod at all, so it really would be best to minimize opportunities for bugs. Everything else is pretty simple, for poses I would look for someone porting one of the pose mods from FO3, though you could probably fake some half-decent poses manually.

The only problem is if you want the mannequin to look like the player, since matchfacegeometry is kind of useless.
