Problems at the docks...

Post » Sat Nov 17, 2012 7:13 am

I have been working on a mod that involves a new section at a ship dock, as well as a new ship. I added a ramp that connects the docks and the new ship. For some reason no NPCs, as well as companions (such as Lydia) will not travel up this new ramp or board the new ship. My characters travel up and down perfectly. I don’t have to jump or climb over anything. I have checked the height and found it is where it should be. I have gone through all the settings and checked them against another ramp. Everything matches. I have also checked the terrain under the dock ramp and made sure it was ok.
I just can’t see any reason why NPCs won‘t travel up this ramp.
If anyone has any ideas that could help it would be highly appreciated.

You probably haven't Navmeshed. Search YouTube for Creation Kit Navmesh tutorial :)

A navmesh is like an invisible carpet that NPCs can see. It tells then they can walk there. Without it the ground or object you want them to walk on is inaccessible to them.

I have an idea of what you're talking about. If thats the case it would make sense. I'll check it out and see what I come up with. Thanks.

No probs mate. It's a very tricky thing to start getting used to so follow the videos well, and remember to finalise your navmesh once your done :)

Yeah, I went back and checked the mesh. Looks like I have some work to do. I just messing around with this creation kit seeing what it can do and how far I can take it. It sure has a lot more features then the old style from Oblivion.
Thanks again.
