I'm a little intimidated about learning a whole new language, so I wondered if someone could write a quick script for me? It's for a silver platter I've hung on the wall as a mirror. I've checked the 'do not havok settle' button, but I don't want it to come off the wall if the player accidentally activates it, so I need a script to stop it being picked up.

In Morrowind, it would just have been

Begin NoPickup

if ( OnActivate == 1 )
Return
Endif

End

What would it be in Skyrim?

Thanks!

it would be a lot easier to create a STAT object from the plate mesh instead of write a script for it


for example, look for one of those dreamcatcher wall decorations. duplicate it, swap out the mesh for your silver platter and rename the object.

done


BTW, even if you disabled it from being picked up, the "do not havok settle" thing wont protect it from being knocked off by an arrow, shout or any physical force.

Blockactivation
http://www.creationkit.com/BlockActivation_-_ObjectReference
does this for Skyrim.

it require that you have an onactivate() function in the object but you would obviously have

Obviously making a stat would be ideal, but I don't hve a bsa archive unpacker to get to the mesh I need.

Re the blockactivation, please could you put that in a whole script for me?

Thanks, both, for your replies

:edit: I'm downloading a bsa unpacker. Still be handy to know, though

Correction here, blockactivation will not stop you from bumping it just from activating it and probably from moving.

Event OnInit()
self.blockactivation()
endevent

Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)
endevent

Event OnGrab()
endEvent

the empty functions is just to grab the events so they are not handled the default way.

Brilliant, thanks!

Sorry for being so helpless, but I'm not a coder so working with scripts is a big thing for me - it took me several years to really get comfortable with Morrowind's scripts, and most of the Oblivion/Fallout scripts I used were modified ones from Morrowind.
