any idea on how to create a “head on pike” effect？

[tengma]

so we are trying to create a mod that allows you to decap any npc and put his head on a pike.

 

the decap part is easy..but I run into problem on how to put his or her head on a pike.

 

I have 2 ideas. each have some problems

 

1st is to use script to move the Decapitate head into an object (which is a pike) and then turn off the ragdoll. but I am not really sure how to get the object reference of the decapitated head. or even, is there a object reference? can you even reference the decapitated head? or can I use any other script to move it? 

 

another way is to create an equip-able decapitated head, let the target npc equip it, make every other part of body not show, and then put the entire npc on a good position...so it look like a decapitated head is on top of a pike.

I think this should be the easier idea. the decapitated neck part and decapitated gore part is already in the game. but I run into a problem. I cannot make the neck disappear without also make the entire head disappear.

as shown in the picture. I equiped the decapitated gore, but the neck is still showing.

 

do anyone know how to solve this?

Clone the Npc and dress it with a non meshed armor (body, hands, feets) so they disappear, Set him/her Unconscious and Can't move, move it on the Pike.

 

This is the simplest way, but consume some resources.

 

 

Edit: sorry, I've understood badly what are you asking for, forget it

No clue about modding, but... to behead somebody the way they do in Skyrim won't cut your head off that high as your cut is. So my suggestion and maybe the easiest way: move the cut texture down until it fits. Yes, it's a bit low then, but it should work
