Does anyone know Razorwire? I'm having a problem with his http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=30910 mod and haven't been able to get him on the Nexus forums so far.

In case anyone else can help, basically what's happening is that I load the meshes up as an Activator in the CS, but when I try to activate it in-game, the animation never plays. The item shows up and apparently I can activate it, but the animation isn't firing off on activation like it should.

Activators need a script to work. The torture devices probably have animation groups, you need to look them up in Nifskope and use a script to trigger them. Like:

scn TortureDeviceActivateScriptbegin onactivate  if isanimplaying == 0    playgroup forward 0  endifend

EDIT: By the way, just noticed that I didn't reply to your PM. Will do now, sorry.

the scripts you'll are in the esp included in the download.

they are called:
AnimatedGuilloteen
AnimatedIronMaiden
AnimatedPillory

Cool - I keep learning and learning during this project lol. I didn't realize that about activators, but come to think of it all of my current ones already have a script attached due to their function. I'll take a look at the original scripts and duplicate as needed. Thanks!
