Is the changing between enabled disabled objects instantaneous?

Like if I have let's say 5 different objects each of them with a small difference , and I make a sequence of enable disableenabledisable etc ... but a player is upon them , using as static platform collision , would he see just the change or he woudl fall throught?

Well, according to the wiki page on http://www.creationkit.com/Enable_-_ObjectReference functions do not return until fading is complete, if you have the flag set.

However I think that even if you make the object fade, the collision is instantly enabled, and the opacity of the object is simply faded, since you can't 'fade' a collision.

You can always just make a quick test and try this out ingame yourself.

You could enable via parentage and have the "Pop In" flag(s) ticked or try http://www.creationkit.com/EnableNoWait_-_ObjectReference.

I never found a way to disable the fade-in/out, even using the fade flag set to false. Does it actually work for anyone else?

Use an enable parent and set the children references to "Pop In". It works, enabling/disabling stuff instantaneously.

I am trying to have a band of bandits be disabled / hidden until the player pulls a nordic pull-chain. Using the chain as an enable parent, with the bandits configured for initially opposite enable of parent, and pop-in doesn't seem to work.

They are invisible / disabled, but the pull chain activation doesn't make them appear.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thx in advance!

I'd set one bandit as the enable parent of the rest, then script the activator to enable the parent, thus enabling all the rest.

put a trigger on activate event on the alias chain then this inside enables the bandits once or you can put a advange to next stage and then put in that stage an enable of a xmarker to wich you linked all of your bandits ....

As far as i know as i use enable() and disable() it is instant, although every time i use it i make sure the player isn't looking at the change otherwise it may seem ugly.

the (fade) option seems not working right?

To be Fair i have never tried 'Fading' it although in some areas it may look Okish over all letting the player look at it still seems odd to me, but then again i have only been using it to reveal another area, so seeing a part of a room disappear and being replaced by something else would be rather ugly in my eyes, hence why i make sure the 'trigger' makes sure that the player can't see it.

I don't see why fading wouldn't work although i haven't seen an official script use it yet;

I tried and didnt work ...
