Dear fellows, I have implemented a big ship into my isles mod I want to use as a player's home and to transport followers. I used the same script I have already attached to my trading boat, but I can't get it to work the way I want. I used the script from the mod Sailable Ships and changed it to my needings and it works fine for my boats. But this solution maybe not the best for what I want to do now: Sail a big ship, move followers onboard, use two doors for getting into interior, a ladder as activator at the outer shipwall to being teleported from water onto the ship. What I have so far: Ship is sailable and the wheel activator and the doors move to the right place, when player toggles the anchor. Two ship interior cells I can enter, but not exit anymore. 1: I can toggle sails and anchor and start sailing. Sometimes when I exit sailing with the e key, player gets stuck and nothing but quit the game helps - it worked fine, but suddenly stops working. 2:There are problems with SetVehicle. I placed an XMarker in front of the shipswheel, but player is always attached outside the ship. When I start to sail. player is moved to the middle of the ship. When I exit sailing and activate the shipswheel again, player is positioned right. How can I get the player fixed? I don't really understand how SetVehicle works, because the XMarker is not moving with the ship? 3: I can enter my ship interior, but there is no activator to leave the cell. I guess this is due to the system the whole thing is setup. If you have any ideas, please read on. I explain now the setup and will post the used script: Setup: A dummy cell that includes the static ship with furled sails, an XMarker as movement point, two invisible actors and two load doors. On water: the movable ship with unfurled sails, an XMarker to attach the player to the ship with SetVehicle, and invisible activator at the shipswheel. If player activates the wheel, a messagebox pops up: Toggle sail and anchor or start/stop sailing. If player toggles the anchor, the static ship spawns from the dummy cell at the exact place of the movable ship, the doors are moved to the right place at the ship, the movable ship moves to dummy cell marker. Sails are furled and player can now go inside. If player starts sailing, the doors and the wheel activator are moved to the dummy cell. Player gets attached to the movable ship. When pressing e key, sailing stops, the activator moves from dummy cell back to the wheel. If there is a better solution to achieve my goals, please tell me. And if you want to help me scripting, this is much appreciated.

I run into a new issue (whatelse ) I was never aware of. My scripting knowledge is very limited and here I'm not sure what the OnInit function really does. I know that OnInit fires twice, tested that with a messagebox. The script is about follower mounting, when player mounts his horse or whatever: scriptName _RubyPlayerMountMonitorScript extends ReferenceAlias ;-- Properties -------------------------------------- actor property Ruby auto visualeffect property Effect auto faction property CurrentFollowerFaction auto actor property PlayerRef auto actor property Assan auto ;-- Variables --------------------------------------- actor Player ;-- Functions --------------------------------------- ; Skipped compiler generated GotoState ; Skipped compiler generated GetState function FollowerMount(actor myFollower, actor myHorse, String asEventName, Float afTime) form EquippedItemLeft = PlayerRef.GetEquippedObject(0) form EquippedItemRight = PlayerRef.GetEquippedObject(1) if myFollower.IsInFaction(CurrentFollowerFaction) == 1 as Bool if myFollower.GetActorValue("WaitingForPlayer") == 0 as Float if EquippedItemLeft as Bool || EquippedItemRight as Bool if asEventName == "tailHorseMount" debug.SendAnimationEvent(Ruby as objectreference, "IdleForceDefaultState") myFollower.OnAnimationEvent(none, "tailHorseMount") Effect.play(myHorse as objectreference, 0.300000, none) myHorse.MoveTo(myFollower as objectreference, 50.0000 * math.sin(myFollower.GetAngleZ() + 90.0000), 50.0000 * math.cos(myFollower.GetAngleZ() + 90.0000), 0.000000, true) utility.Wait(0.100000) myFollower.SetAnimationVariableBool("bIsRiding", 1 as Bool) myFollower.EvaluatePackage() endIf if asEventName == "tailHorseDismount" Bool dismountInitiated = myFollower.Dismount() myFollower.SetAnimationVariableBool("bIsRiding", 0 as Bool) myFollower.EvaluatePackage() endIf else return endIf endIf endIf endFunction function OnInit() ; Debug.Messagebox("Script running") utility.Wait(5.00000) Player = game.GetPlayer() self.RegisterForAnimationEvent(PlayerRef as objectreference, "tailHorseMount") self.RegisterForAnimationEvent(PlayerRef as objectreference, "tailHorseDismount") endFunction function OnAnimationEvent(objectreference akSource, String asEventName) if akSource == PlayerRef as objectreference self.FollowerMount(Ruby, Assan, asEventName, 0.300000) else return endIf endFunction This script is attached to the alias of my follower Ruby in a script started quest. It works very good. With Alternate Start from Arthmoor activated. With only vanilla Skyrim it works very good. Until I open racemenu with the console and change my character. After closing racemenu, script is no longer working. I tested without MO. I tested without changing character, saved the game, shut down, load the game and the save and script runs fine. So it must have to do with racemenu (not the mod racemenu! I don't use). I tested on a start enabled quest. Same result, script stops working. What happens here and what can I do to make that work? And a second problem occurs: I wrote my playerhorse now follows fine again, but that is only partially true, like I just now discovered. It works fine if I use Alternate Start. When I use only vanilla Skyrim, the NPC walks away as soon as I tell her to wait. The horse stays, like she should. A script changes the wait globalvariable to 1, package stack is evaluated for horse and npc and the stay package has the wait globalvariable set as condition as well as a quest stage set. There is no package everywhere that could fire in this quest stage. Why does it work with Alternate Start? And not with vanilla? It's really tiring. Your suggestions are much appreciated. Update: Playerhorse now behaves correctly. CK didn't save my property and I overlooked it.
