Yeah I selected respawn and they didn't I waited 3 days and no respawn? I even went to another district and waited 3 days still no respawn?
This is the default way for items to respawn, I hear that items will respawn after 3 days of not being in that cell. I had this happen to me (though I did not count the passage of time) with a cupboard I thought was safe to store items in. I lost all the stuff I had in it. And the original items were all that were in it.
Here is a crazy idea: Put a script on the chest that gives you items directly every time you activate it, instead of having it function like a chest. For example (I haven't tested this, but I don't see why it wouldn't work):
scn MYPREFIXGoldChestBegin OnActivate if ( GetActionRef == Player ) Player.AddItem 0000000F 50 ; gives 50 gold to player else Activate endifEnd
...or a script that would allow you to get the items or open the container, like this:
scn MYPREFIXGoldChest2Begin OnActivate MessageBox "What would you like to do?" "Receive Gold" "Open Container" "Nevermind"EndBegin GameMode set Button to GetButtonPressed if ( Button == -1 ) Return elseif ( Button == 0 ) ;Recieve Gold Player.AddItem 0000000F 50 ; gives 50 gold to player elseif ( Button == 1 ) ;Open Container Activate elseif ( Button == 2 ) ;Nevermind return endifEnd
Like I mentioned earlier I have not tested this. But this should at least illustrate my point.
