I'm using DweRepository01 as a Player-Only vault. I've set it up so that room the Vault resides in restricts access to the player and the player only.

This is done with one trigger plane (defaultBlankTrigger, Collision Layer: L_ACTORZONE) in the doorway to the room and a trigger volume encasing the vault and the room. I haven't made the trigger volume yet but this is the script on the trigger plane:

I'm not sure what is and isn't working with my script.

Since DweRepository01 doesn't have any closing animations I need to use reset so it will close (DweRepository01 is impossible to see if you are triggering my plane). When testing I run through where I know my trigger to be a couple of times to be sure and then check on my vault, it's still wide open.

Secondly the idea is to prevent any followers/summoned creatures from being able to enter through the doorway with PushActorAway, I have no navmesh in the cell yet but I'm still able to get Lydia to walk through the door, nothing happens.

Lastly, this is the script on the activator that actually opens the vault:

The model for my activator is ImpButton01, and whilst it does a fantastic job of opening my vault it does not actually animate itself (no button press). I've had a look at this mesh in NifSkope and I can plainly see the button pumping up and down like no tomorrow. How can I get it to play?

*EDIT: spoiler tags

Just want to bump this multifaceted question.

I would be grateful for answers to any part of it.

A 'plane' may not be wide enough to trigger when the player enters it. Use a trigger box instead and make it at least two bodies wide.
Reset will NOT reset objects while your in the cell (usually). What exactly 'is' the objectReference 'vault'?

A note on pushactoraway, its very tricky. It took me several months of testing and messing around to get it to work in a triggerzone against anyone that was not in one of the player factions. You could look at that script to see what I did to get it to work. Its the triggerzone surrounding the exterior tower in the Helgen exterior cells.

Getting an animation to play on something can be tricky too, you need to know the hidden animation table names of things in the animation, and there is no information on that. What I suggest is, if the object to animate is used in the game, see how they animated it in code. If not, then good luck finding a way to get it to work.

Thanks for the tip, it would not have occurred to me that a plane might not be wide enough (Odd because I remember using two in one of my oblivion mods that worked perfectly).
ObjectReference 'vault' is the DweRepository01 object. The same 'puzzle door' in the hermaeus mora quest. I read on another forum that you could get the door to close again by resetting it (as a workaround for its lack of closing animations).


This is disappointing news and exactly my problem. In every other script that I've been able to find this line of code:

PlayAnimationAndWait("Trigger01", "done")

has been sufficient to animate their respective objects. I don't think this has been included in the default scripts for ImpButton01, but nevertheless when applied it fails to animate. I don't know why Bethesda would deviate from their convention here with this object.
How hidden is hidden? It's easy to open the model up in NifSkope and see the animation playing, surely some clues could be extracted here somewhere???

I'll reiterate my pushactoraway question: In OnTriggerEnter, if I have an actor property, how do I get akActionRef to fill that property? So if == Player ; do one thing. if != Player ; do something else entirely.

With the reset of the door, you might try a 'disable' command first, wait a 10th of a second, then reset it, wait a 10th of a second, then enable it. That might reset it.

Hidden as in good luck finding it, even with nifskope. At least I have not been able to find the table entry names for an unused magic doorway that I wanted to use. Since its unused, there are no scripts to look at in-game to find out how to make it animate.

I'll reiterate my pushactoraway answer, its in my levelers tower mod how I got it to work. Links are in my signature. I don't have it open in the CK now.

I have resolved the DweRepository01 problem (getting it to close).

In NifSkope its easy to see that no closing animation exists for this model. Therefore, workarounds must be used to get it "closed" again.

I read in another forum that calling "Reset" on the object would force it back to its original state, it has been my experience that this is false.

My solution:

• Two DweRepository01 Objects with the same Cartesian coordinates
  
• One of the objects is for interacting with. Calling [PlayAnimationAndWait("trigger01", "Done")] on this object will open it successfully. This object is initially disabled
  
• Enable and "open" the first object
  
• Disable the second object

To close

• Once the player can no longer see the objects it is safe to "close" them
  
• Disable the open object
  
• Enable the closed one

Basically posting this for the benefit of anyone who finds they want to use the DweRepository01 object. Whenever the "open" one gets re-enabled it will automatically play through its opening animation again. I have not been able to find a way to get it back into its original pre-opened state.
