I've created a new pickaxe in the CK; however, it tells me that I need a pickaxe when I try to mine an ore node. The problem only seems to occur with new pickaxes that I've created, and not the generic pickaxe or notched pickaxe (both of those work fine). Even if I create an exact duplicate of the generic pickaxe, with nothing else changed except for the ID and name, it still won't mine an ore node.

Is there any fix to this? I tried looking to see if a pickaxe has a special script or code that allows it to mine, but I couldn't find anything.

When you go to mine it says 'Do you have THIS object', so when you make your new pickaxe, the game doesnt know it's a pickaxe, it just isnt the right item. Find where it checks for 'pickaxes' and add your new one to the list.

Ah, thank you! I was able to drag my custom pickaxe into the form list.

If you'd like to make your plugin a little more mod-safe, you can also add the new pickaxe to that list via script - http://www.creationkit.com/AddForm_-_FormList. This way you'll be compatible with other mods that might otherwise conflict if they're also trying to modify that formList.

OH REALLY!? Sweet. I will be mentioning this on the Wiki somewhere when I get a chance.

You guys added this functionality!!!
