[SOLVED] Triggering Ambushes on Cell entrance

[Guest]

When I enter a interior cell all ambushes will trigger automatically. I've just observed this for Draugr cells. I can hear the lids pop open while I enter the cell (on both vertical and horizontal sarcophagus) and when I get to the ambush location the draugrs are standing outside waiting. They're even hostile. They should be sleeping until I walk into that triggerbox. It happens to vanilla sarcophagus but also sarcophagus added my mods such as demonic creatures.

 

First I thought it might be something bad in my save, but I've tried a new game and it's the same thing.

Now I've started disabling mods to see which one could be causing it. Mostly I'm worried about my own creature mod demonic creatures being the cause, but disabling it and starting a new game don't seem to fix anything 😫

 

Anyone experienced this before? It was working fine on my previous playthrough. Same setup. Just a few more mods added.

First guess, you have a cloak spell with a long enough range that it covers the entire dungeon, and it casts a spell on the draugr that is waking them up. Either it makes noise or its considered hostile. Also keep in mind that the bug that makes neutral characters hostile when you heal them may still be in the game; meaning most likely all spells are considered hostile, regardless of the "Hostile" flag.

 

Edit: Go punch someone. A cloak like this is the kind that most likely also triggers the so called "brawl bug" where opponents turn hostile immediately and blame you for using spells.

I found what caused it. It was this mod right here:

 

NPC Spell Variance - Spell Variety AI

Disabling that totally reinstated the purpose of the triggerboxes. Now I did only test this once. So I should probably go inside a few other places to check if the result is the same. But sofar both Ustengrav and Dead men's respite seem have working draugr ambushes. thank god... I was really seeing a new Skyrim install unfold infront of me now 😬.
