Weapon Mounts are a convenient and visually pleasant way for the player to store weapons and shields. This tutorial will show you how to add these to your mod.

Weapon Plaque

A Weapon Plaque allows the player to display one weapon at a time. All kinds of weapons can be used.

Adding an empty Weapon Plague

  • From the Object Window, drag WeaponRackPlaquePlayerHouse and WeaponRackPlaqueACTIVATORPlayerHouse into the Render Window with the desired cell loaded.
    • Both can be found under WorldObjects\Activator\Clutter\WeaponRack.
  • Edit the references and link them together.
    • WeaponRackPlaquePlayerHouse > In the Linked Ref tab, add WeaponRackPlaqueACTIVATORPlayerHouse with the keyword WRackActivator.
    • WeaponRackPlaqueACTIVATORPlayerHouse > In the Linked Ref tab, add WeaponRackPlaquePlayerHouse with the keyword WRackTrigger.
  • Move both objects to the desired location in the cell and cover the mount (WeaponRackPlaquePlayerHouse) with the white box(WeaponRackPlaqueACTIVATORPlayerHouse).


Adding a weapon to a Weapon Plague

  • Drag the weapon from the Object Window into the Render Window, it can be placed anywhere in the cell.
  • WeaponRackPlaqueACTIVATORPlayerHouse > In the Linked Ref tab, add the weapon, leave the keyword blank (NONE).


Known Issues

  • If a weapon is laying on the ground instead of being mounted on a weapon mount, just leave the room (cell) and come back.
