activation items aid

[Drakemasta]

ok i found this a little anoying to find info for these little things so decided to build a list of items for new modders saying how to place certain objects that may be hard to find info to tell you how to do so.

 

Mannequin

mannequins require 3 parts.

---mannequin

---trigger

---xmarkerheading

 

to get the trigger just click on the mannequin and go up to the boxed t symbol in the toolbar

 

first part is with mannequin

---link reference mannequin to xmarkerheading

---select activate parent only in parents

---select the trigger as the parent

 

second part is the xmarkerheading

---link reference to mannequin

 

third part is the trigger

---under primative select "player activation" 

 

lastly

--- overlap all 3 pieces together and move to where you want it

 

mine

a mine is done in two parts

--- the activator "mine" pay attention to the "wall/floor" variety because each will require different markers

--- markers, note their is a seperate activator for the floor and one for the wall

 

place both activator and marker close to each other if not the marker ontop of the activator

--- link reference the marker to the activator.

 

done (*facepalm* so easy)

 

Weapon Rack/Plaque

both of these items are done in the same way. (note it is best to keep snap to grid on for these)

---activator weaponrackmid / weaponplaque

---activator weaponrackmidACTIVATOR / weaponplaqueACTIVATOR (note the caps words at the end are very important to make sure you grab the right one)

 

step one weaponrack mid / plaque

---link reference rack -> "activator" with keyword "wrackactivator"

 

step two weaponrack ACTIVATOR

---link reference "activator" -> weaponrack mid/plaque with keyword "wracktrigger"

------ optional step place weapon and link reference it to the "activator" no keyword

 

this one is confusing because its using two "activator" grouped items.

 

 

ok i am not a expert so if you wish to add more objects or help me to explain a few things a little better feel free to post and i shall add them to the post. but please make it easy to understand some of us arn't very bright when it comes to modding *raises hand*
