Rename Door from Inherited Cell Name

Post » Wed Jun 20, 2012 6:19 pm

I have a door that takes the player to another chunk in the same cell but is very different than the original chunk. The original part is a house interior while the other is not. However when I hover over the door that takes me into this new chunk it's still uses the Cell Name label "Blah Blah's House" and I'd like to name it something else. I changed the doors 'name' from 'Door' to something more appropriate however that wasn't reflected in the game.

Any ideas? [other than placing the new chunk in another cell which I'd rather not do]

In New Vegas there was an 'Activation String Override' where you could type whatever you wanted, but that doesn't appear to be in Skyrim. :(

Oh, however if you set up a location with the name you want, then go to the Teleport tab, you can set the 'teleport location name' which should change what the door says.

I did look at the location dropdown but wasn't sure if that would work. I'm not familiar with it so I'll go read up on it. Thanks Alexander.

Perfect. I created a new MESG with appropriate title and selected it as the Teleport Loc Name. Done.

Re-read my original post. The cell has a name already. The problem I had is that all doors in the cell that teleport the player to different parts of the cell all have the same name because they inherit the cell name. I wanted to rename a door so it wasn't the same as the cell name [or the other door]. The answer to which is above your post.
