Super quick question`

Hey guys, working away at a mod and having some trouble with removable torch sconces. I took the removeabletorchsconce01 and it's linked light source from the warehouse prefab like http://www.creationkit.com/Additional_Prefabs#Removable_Torches that told me to. When I load up my mod the sconces are empty. Activating them does nothing, activating them with a torch in my inventory does nothing, or with a held torch. I see in the CS there is the removable torch sconce item and a removable torch item as well, and there are as many removable torches in use as there are sconces, but the tutorial never tells me to do anything with the Torch item itself. I've tried taking the torch and also making it a linked ref to the sconce to see if it enable/disable but no such luck. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Are you trying to start with an empty sconce? Just curious. I didn't know there was a tut on the sconces (didn't even think to look), so I posted my own solution a day or two ago: http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1349966-did-i-do-this-right-removable-torches-start-empty/

Starting from scratch, once you have placed your sconce and light, edit the sconce and go to its linked ref tab. Double-click there and chose the light in the render window. The light needs to be set for initially disabled. If you're still having trouble activating the sconce, check the linked ref tab on the light - there shouldn't be anything there. If there is, delete it.

I didn't copy that light, but it should already be linked to the sconce if it works properly in the warehouse.

It doesn't matter to me if it's empty or has a torch to begin with, I actually read your thread before posting like 5 times to see if I was doing something wrong, but I think our issues aren't the same. When I activate the torch sconce activator nothing happens. No torch appears, and it's empty to begin with. I'm wondering if I have to do something with the Torch object itself, since that tutorial didn't say anything about it.

Basically when I click on the empty sconce nothing happens.

The only thing I can suggest is to get rid of the reference you already have and start anew. I know some of my activators got bugged when I first placed them (wouldn't work) because I had done something wrong (set my refs backwards). Even after I had them ref'd correctly, I couldn't get them to work. I used Ctrl-F to replace them with paper rolls (yeah, there's a john in my mod!) and started over. Placed the sconce, placed the light, set the link from the sconce to the light... everything was fine. No idea why it came out different...

The only change you have to make is to the script for start empty (if that's what you want). Else, just setting the sconce and light and linking them is all you really need. Make sure your sconce isn't set to initially disabled - I did that in the beginning. Also, don't initially disable the light if your sconce doesn't start empty.

Good luck with this!
