Player statue, still possible? : V

» Thu Jun 21, 2012 2:19 am

I remember this from oblivion and was wondering if any of you guys knew how it was done and if it's still possible?

This would be perfect for my mod

ObjectReference PlayerClone = SomeReference.PlaceAtMe(PlayerRef)PlayerClone.EnableAI(False)PlayerClone.MoveTo(SomeXMarkerHeading)

instant statue clone of yourself... you just gave me a great idea though LOL

ooooh yessss

and to make it even creepier, a house full of me-servants? too being john malcovich?

Me-servants?! Since we have reference aliases now, you can even give each clone a different set of dialogue...

Wow, imagining 10 clones of myself following me around is sort of creepy.

lol yeah you can actually create an entire army of yourself

the me-clone even copies your hair and everything, its so creepy its perfect

Cheers for the help mate. Quick questions:

1. What do I point the ck to for "someReference"
2. I'm guessing I'd have to apply a rock shader to make it look statue-y, is there one?

someReference can be anything. its probably easiest to just use Game.GetPlayer() and have it spawn near you, and then it will immediately teleport to the xmarkerheader.

you can try using the frost shader and make it an ice statue, i don't think there is a petrified rock one

There is a rock texture, but it doesn't look very good.

Cheers again. Hmmm, is it a long winded process making a custom shader? Or is it similar to retexturing armor where all it takes is making a custom texture set then just putting it in as an alternative texture?

I'm at work at the moment so no way to dig around the ck

You can put yourself in yourself. That just sounds wrong, but...

Game.GetPlayer().EquipItem(Game.GetPlayer().GetBaseObject())

..will put a clone of you in your inventory.

What about making statues of other characters?

» Thu Jun 21, 2012 1:38 pm

I think it's just a case of replacing "PlayerRef" with whoever you want

how do you use it? what can you use it for?

» Thu Jun 21, 2012 4:19 am

I don't think it has any uses, but its darn cool.

true, i just got an idea. Pocket Advisor. an NPC that you keep in your inventory, they will comment on the world around you, and possibly can be placed in the world and picked up again as a mobile follower

Lol, that just gave me an idea too. What if every NPC in the game had a dialogue option that basically just added a weightless clone of them to your inventory. If you drop them, it automatically applies a nulltexture to them when they drop so that they are invisible. Then (and this is the bard part) the player holds a phone to his ear and you can "talk through it".

Skyrim cell phone.

i like ths idea. when the convo ends, the invisible clone dissapears. also, make them collisionless

You'd also need to Fill an alias with the dropped actor such that they walk right up to the player's face.

To tie it into the lore you could say that some scientist discovered that if you break up a soulgem, the pieces still have a magic connection. This can be exploited with a certain spell or something. I had an idea for something similar in oblivion when I started planning a batman-type mod

this is a plausible explanation, i agree with this

ow about Mini-me servants?

Small clones as high as a bottle?

Hilarious. I love it.

I might use that for a Mage boss in my mod. He got so fed up with his assistants messing up he figured out how to clone himself. As the saying goes: "If you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself"
