I set up an item under a glass cover (it's just a huge upsidedown shot glass, static, not clutter) and I want to add script so the player can "click" the glass, triggering a menu to pop up asking if he/she wants to remove the glass or leave it alone - you know, the same menu as when dealing with any trap or mine.

I'm having trouble finding this info elsewhere, if anyone can tell me how or point me to the right forum/website, that would be lovely. Thanks!

I'm starting to find information about scripting a menu, but my main question now is how do I make my static shotglass interactive? Or can I?

Right, I WOULD edit my post but this stupid site won't let me.

Anyways, I sort of figured it out by making an activator object, but it's still, uh... bouncy. Non-static. I want it to BE static, so the player can't just pick it up and throw it aside. How can I make an object static? Checking "Obstacle" didn't do it.

Make a copy of the shot glass nif, then edit the copy using nifskope and change two fields under the 'bhkRigidBody' node.

Set 'Motion System' to 'Mo_Sys_Fixed' and
Set 'Quality Type' to 'Mo_Qual_Fixed'

Save your new nif, then point your activator model to your new nif and it should be static but still be an activator.

Oh sweet, I'll try that now and let you know if it-- PETER! Long time no talk!

Boingo, that's the stuff. My shotglass-turned-glass-casing is now a static object. Protective cases are otherwise useless when they can be punched out of the way...
