Use OnLoad events to DisableAI(), then use a trigger box that when the player enters it uses EnableAI().

There is no animation for broken skeletons 'forming together' as you approach. However you could use the draugr ambushes to make them go from laying around to getting up and attacking. Look in the ambush warehouse cell for examples of this, then simply use the same setup but with 'LvlSkeleton' or 'EncSkeleton' instead.

what's the name of ambush warehouse?

Ok I found I see three draugs ( one is a skeleton)....
nvm...

but what's tcalled the sleep furniture marker that some draug use?

Ok I gived the linked ref to the skeleton to sit and linked them to the trigger , altough they do not sit ...

any ideas why don't work?

» Wed Jan 23, 2013 6:24 am

Oh, they need to have the ambush script on them (Look at the 'Ambush' varient of the Draugr) with the 'AmbushOnTrigger' (Or whatever it's called) variable checked. That tells the game to make them 'hide' upon first loading.

they do have . I just copied , but they do not have to Hide they have to lie sit or sleeping on the furniture , I linked them to each of the furniture required and then I linked to them the trigger box , boxes and skeletons have the proper trigger , but whenever I go there I always find them standing and doing nothing untill I enter the trigger area.....

The 'ambush' markers may have keywords on them that only allow draugr to use them, meaning you'd simply have to create a custom form of them and remove/change the keywords.

In the sample is not a draugr , is a skeleton , I can't see any custom made keyword on the trigger box .

If I understand correctly, the above posted tutorial will do exactly what you need. It's for Draugr, but skeletons should work pretty much the same. ~~Some skeletons are marked with a NoReanimate keyword, so you may have to find ones that aren't.~~ Edit: It's actually the skeleton race that is marked with NoReanimate keyword, which will not allow them to be reanimated through normal means.

Modifying the entire race is probably a bad idea, so you could try to create your own race by duplicating the original skeleton race, or using Draugr instead.

the mod adds a completely new race so all is done from scratch and doesn't edit anything of original Bethesda ... I added them inworld , for some reason seems the argonian skeletons in Yngol barrow exterior are sleepign as should but not the khajiit ones in pale pass near the SouthfringeSanctum exterior ...

also the summoneable one is still keeping invisible , there must be something in ck related error I can't find perhaps some of you guys will be able to spot the reason why doesn't hows up or don't get reanimated ... waits for inputs ...

» Wed Jan 23, 2013 6:33 am

So someone can tell me why some do work and some do not ? like for example in Yngol barrow they do work but in the exterior cell 33 -7 , or near the Southfringe Sanctum exterior or Mor Khazgur Norther area do not any help would be appreciated if someone knows the subject and wants to investigate here is the file ...

My bet is that they are running on packages in exteriors. Did you tried with normal skeletons first?

running on packages in exterior ? what you mean? I tried with my custom skeletons and are what I need to make work ... have you tried the mod?
