Mannequin Issues - Help Requested

Post » Sat Nov 17, 2012 4:01 pm

First off I made the mod public before any issues occured so it is avaliable for download if you want to look at it in Creation Kit to hopefully pin point my issue.

Nexus - http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/16941

The mannequins tend to move a bit. The one of the right will sometimes have trigger issues. I was told it was partially because I didn't give them unique names. I tested that in a private copy of the mod and it cleared up some of the issues but the right mannequin is still a little buggy. I have them on the navmesh and they are not facing directly north or standing at a right angle. They are linked to their respective triggers and markers and function.

The mannequin on the left (while facing them) was placed first. The mannequin on the right was 2nd and is normally the one to move slightly. He normally will just make an odd pose or move around a bit. Occasionally he will not function. I am guessing the reason he wouldn't function (only happened once) was because the model moved outside the trigger.

Any help you could provide would be much appreciated. If you can give me the solution to this problem I will be more then happy to give you credit for the fix (credits on download pages, the mod video, and my website and twitter) that way my users know who they can thank.

Have you tried testing your mod with my Vanilla Mannequin Script Fix? http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=10652 Keep in mind to test with a clean saveGame or coc directly to the location by console at the Main/Title Screen.

Actors in general will 'wander' if they don't have certain AI packages. In the case of mannequins, the mannequin AI requires scripting to force the actor back to a linked ref... but the nilla script only does that in an onCellLoad event. Changing that event to onCellAttach fixes the problem, but there are other issues with mannequins too; which the Fix takes care of.
