Hi I wanted to use the sitting on earth cross legs of the kajhits for the player , but I have not seen any special command , nifnode or anything else that coudl help creating such a rug ... any ideas?

No one?

That's one of the Idle animations you can call through script with PlayIdle.
So you could create new entry in Idle Animations window and assign IdleSitCrossLeggedEnter anim event to it. Then make a rug as activator and attach a script to it with OnActivate event and put such code there:

Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)	If akActionRef == Game.GetPlayer()		akActionRef.PlayIdle(Idle1)	EndifEndEvent

where Idle1 is the property set in properties window and assigned to that particular Idle you created previously.

There's an Idle Marker; it's called "SitCrossLeggedMarker."

PC can't activate Idle Markers, as these are usually invisible and have no collisions.

you can create furniture out of anything and apply any of the idle anims to it.

this is what i would do:

open the rug mesh in nifskope, export the nitrishape as an obj

open the bedroll in nifskope, import the rug obj in place of the bedroll nitrishape. reposition it according to the furniture marker to where you want the character to sit (nevermind that its a lay down marker)

after you save the nif, open the CK

in the CK find any chair furniture and duplicate it.

replace the model with your custom nif, erase the sitting chair keywords and add sitcrosslegged keywords but you might want to make sure force3rdperson is there.

rename from Chair to Rug or whatever

Yes, I know, but he was asking what the NPCs were using in the game.

What I did is take the rug shape and paste it into the marker of the sitting anim, tough ingame the object is not selectable , anyway to fix?

did you give the new marker a physical name? the default sit markers do not have in-game names.

nope ...

without a physical name, the activation will never appear

just like if you create armor with no name it will never appear in your inventory even if it is physically there

I have a solution for creating most furniture types out of anything.

In the editor, go down to world objects, then to subcategory furniture. In the filter at the top, type INVIS. This will give you a list of all the invisible furniture markers. Players can only interact with furniture markers but they must also be labeled and will say PLAYER in the name of the base (the marker will also have a bright green block, indicating the player can interact with it).

Now, I don't know if there is a sit cross-legged furniture marker so that may require some creativity on your part but it could probably be done in a multitude of ways.

For example, I took a static pine log and put some furniture chair markers on it so the player or NPC's who are sandboxing can sit on them (they are by a campfire).

So, in short:

Invisible furniture marker + Static World Object = Instant custom furniture

I have tried giving names and all other kind of stuff , eplored the nif files to look foor some anims or the like but I can't get to work the sitting crosslegged like the kahjiits on a simple rug any other ideas?

Not working?

Alternatively you can AI Drive the player to use an Idle marker and any special furniture. Now, I haven't bothered to figure out how the player gets out. I was just doing it for fun with a prayer marker and a wall lean marker, my player was stuck in the marker but I wasn't concerned since I was just messing. It may be simple to do so.

Did u get working how i do that I have hacked the nifs with all combis but couln't get it to work...

I would also like to know if anyone has a solution for this. I'm trying to create a new crafting table with it's own special animation. The animation is the last part I need.

Any other sugestion?

Maybe make an activator with the rug model, and in the OnActivate function, have it call the PlayAnimationandwait function for the crosslegged sitting animation?

how I do that?

Not sure, spent some time fiddling with it, with no luck so far...Wasn't there a thread about how to let the player use invisible furniture around somewhere? If you could take the invisible chair marker and add the "IsSitCrossLegged" keyword...Unfortunately, the mats and rugs have no Sit marker associated with them...

I'm also looking for some not-so-conventional player seating - and my curiosity is driving me to distraction. For me, I'm up to the Select sit-x-legged marker, hit the triggerbox button on the toolbar and select "triggerbox", set the primitive to Player Activation, set the trrigerbox's Activate Parent to the sit-x-legged marker - and so far it's still not working, so maybe attaching that script, suggested by http://www.gamesas.com/user/753342-redwood-elf/, wouldn't be such a bad idea.
.
I even tried attaching this script to the furniture marker:
.
.
Nice compile; shame about the dice. So I have to wonder, how indeed...?

ok but the sitting furniture do not work thorught scripts , they are nif files , how do edit those to make them work? ....

.
Sounds like they need an activator of some sort, and that can invoke an activation event which, in turn, can be scripted - which makes me wonder what other purpose those furniture nifs have...?
.
I take it that they are classed as markers. Would that be correct?
.
So I have, maybe, a silly question and it just might prove that I've gone totally bananas but I have to ask: what would happen if we substitute a furniture marker for an XMarkerHeading as a MoveTo destination for the player?

I've seen something else which might help over on the http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1363209-do-you-think-that-magic-effect-archetypes-were-sloppy-and-broken/. The quote in question reads:

I haven't tried this out myself, but it does sound promising...
