[solved] [Creationkit] Howto make a Draugr jump out of his sarcophagus?

[worik]

I tried to recreate an Draugr ambush by having a look and (failing to) copy the same mechanics as in e.g. Bleakfalls Barrow or Dustmans Cairn.

 

I got it to work 50%, the Draug or Skeleton sleeps, wakes up and attacks. But what I completely failed is the lid bursting open. They just step through the stone lid.

Does anyone has a step-by-step guide or YT video tutorial how to do that?

 

Thank you

There's one of the Bethesda tutorials on Creationkit.com that covers ambushes, and draugr jumping out of coffins specifically.

 

Apparently the recommendation is that you use a setup from the "prefabs" cell.

I know that doesn't help, but did you know that Draugr can sing?

? ? ?

I haven't watched the video, that sentence was enough for me.

I didn't know that one. Thank you. Unfortunately it doesn't explain the details and why that damned lid isn't bursting when they start to attack.

 

But I've remade my whole ambush actors, inks and triggers (hopefully I just forgot something in the earlier attempts) and will try again in a minute.

It does! If they party all night long they have to sleep sometime.

?   It worked.

Obviously I forgot something in the earlier attempts.

 

So, we have 2 skeletons busting out of their graves. Unfortunately, too early. They can't wait until I reach the trigger box. That spoils the fun, because they are in sight now and not behind

I call it progress anyways!

If I know my setup correctly they will be "behind" the PC in no time ?

Note for completeness:

 

Set the triggerbox as "activate Parent" for the enemy NPCs AND tick the box below "Parent Activate Only"!

 

On a sidenote: did I mention that I hate navmeshing spiral staircases?

The do not do spiral, do one of the square spiral.
