{{NewFeature|Unlike previous Bethesda toolsets, physics-enabled objects in the Creation Engine will automatically settle when they are loaded in-game. Objects marked with "'''Don't Havok Settle'''", shown in ''Fig 3.16'', will skip their initial settle, but still simulate when affected by some impulse in-game. For example, a bucket in mid-air with this box checked will still be floating in that position when you load the game. Once hit by some other physics entity, however - such as an arrow, spell or the player - it will behave just like any other object.}} | {{NewFeature|Unlike previous Bethesda toolsets, physics-enabled objects in the Creation Engine will automatically settle when they are loaded in-game.

Animating objects are a type of moveable static that the player cannot interact with, but provides particles or an animation. Some examples would be banners, fires or water drips. Placing fire effects in sconces is a great way to create light sources - although you will have to add the actual light-casting actor separately. This is covered in a [[Bethesda_Tutorial_Lights_and_FX|later tutorial]]. | Animating objects are a type of moveable static that the player cannot interact with, but provides particles or an animation.

Place some containers around the room, such as the examples below. Note the "''Treas''" prefix. This is short for "treasure", meaning that these containers are more likely to have items of value.<br> | Place some containers around the room, such as the examples below.

Doors simply open and close when activated by the player. They can optionally be locked at various difficulties, including requiring a [[Key]] to open. | Doors simply open and close when activated by the player.

Doors can also be set to start open; to accomplish this, check the '''Open By Default''' box on the reference properties. This is also a useful trick to see which way the door opens. Generally speaking, it's best to have doors swing away from the player when possible. | Doors can also be set to start open; to accomplish this, check the '''Open By Default''' box on the reference properties.
