Equinox can you spend 5 minutes a quick guide on how to do animations. The guide doesn't have to be anything special it can be just text.

well i hope you have a safe move and all goes well for you.

As with all my mods, 1.5weeks minimum since I'm moving.

@Equinox Try my anti-air tower that I made so you will see what I mean

I need to spend some more time improving the logic behind getting out if chairs.

You can hold alt to look up/down in the chair when in first person. Or in third person hold alt and look any way.

I have a wooden floor above a basement and when I get out of a chair, I fall through the wooden floor into the basement, is there a way around that?

I would like that my view doesn't stay in place when goin up or down a hill. I made an Anti-Air turret (with the machine gun mod) that has a chair for better aiming but when trying to shoot up I need to manually move my camera.

A issue I have is that my view will always be directed downwards, and I'm unable to move the view about.
shid 5 Oct, 2018 @ 12:06pm 
alright then. thanks for making this possible in the first place

I've made the exit control bindable, so now you can change it to a different key. That means if you bind the exit control to something besides the interact key you can interact with stuff while sitting.

However you still can't look left and right while sitting. It's complicated, I haven't found a solution I like yet.
shid 19 Sep, 2018 @ 2:33pm 
it would be nice if i could look around while sitting.

Very few modders can do animations. In fact I'm the only active ME modder I know of that knows how to do it.
RAAV 15 Sep, 2018 @ 4:34pm 
yeah, things always looks easier on paper ^-^
If you will play with animations, then I would like to suggest you to add animated rower with paddles :p

Maybe you can find someone who can do some animations for your creations with workshop cooperation? I've seen some modders who often adds somebody else to his credits :>
Equinox  [author] 15 Sep, 2018 @ 8:09am 
I may consider adding a ship wheel that you can attach yourself to and control directly with the A/D keys. I have something similar for a different I haven't released yet.

Issue is I'd want to add animations, and that's a huge rabbit hole :P
RAAV 15 Sep, 2018 @ 6:45am 
You are right in that, but I meant create new, separate stuff :)
Equinox  [author] 14 Sep, 2018 @ 8:05pm 
This mod was never meant to be anything more than just letting you sit down on the vanilla chair. The core library of it is a different mod, which is used by a few other mod authors. Stori3D's Immersive Furnishing and Wolfgar's cart mod come to mind.

I won't be adding any other blocks to this mod, as it's not the intention of it.
I've considered auto detach and still may implement it. I haven't decided yet.
RAAV 14 Sep, 2018 @ 9:55am 
but anyway, I think you can add various of stuff:
1. Segmented bench blocks, what allow to create bench for two, or even more people at once :)
2. Plank or kind of squere for attach there standing player (better for ships than sitting on chair by steering wheel)
3. a "handle", to attach player with hanging on hands - for example to make winch on rope

PS: and probably there will be issue with exploits like "people cannons", so is it possible to make "auto detach" player model when he will be under certain degree, or certain force?
RAAV 14 Sep, 2018 @ 9:44am 
I wanted to say that what Kitty just ask, so thank you both guys to resolve problem :2017catheart:
Equinox  [author] 14 Sep, 2018 @ 8:34am 
You should be able to rebind the key that allows you to exit the chair now in the key bindings menu. That may be enough to fix the problem.
Zalfeon 13 Sep, 2018 @ 12:49pm 
hi love your mod but i would like a feature added because of the new water mod that lets you have woking ships in it i ran in to porblems with trying to driver my ships and not fall thruogh thim so i thought of your mod to sit and drive the ship but you cant use to controll wheel wile i sit so maby if you can fix it so you can.
Equinox  [author] 5 Sep, 2018 @ 11:05am 
It's something that I've considered, but haven't done. The sleeping pose is included in the Player Attachment Component.
『KuuHaKu』 31 Aug, 2018 @ 8:01pm 
Is it possible to make a mod that lets you actually sleep/lay down on your bed? Maybe something like minecraft that speeds up the nighttime while sleeping, if not, only laying down would be enough
Equinox  [author] 12 Jul, 2018 @ 12:07pm 
The backing mod for this has been updated.
It should no longer refuse to let you out of your chair, dieing lets you leave your chair, and you can also fast travel out.
Additionally, you can now hold the crossbow without it looking stupid (but you can't aim it) and the first person camera is in a better place.
Equinox  [author] 1 Jul, 2018 @ 3:58am 
I think this is primarily when it fails to find a good place to let you out at. I want to redo some of the code behind this to be less prone to getting stuck, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
Zabard 1 Jul, 2018 @ 3:33am 
Seems there is some strange bug that makes you stuck on the chairs. You can sit down, but not get up again. Hitting F like a champion, but had to quit and rejoin to get up.
Equinox  [author] 6 Jun, 2018 @ 2:19pm 
Don't worry, they can't hit you while you're in the chair.
Bunnies&Cherris 6 Jun, 2018 @ 2:12pm 
What if "F" isn't letting you out and you have about 7 barbs knocking on your door?
Equinox  [author] 4 Jun, 2018 @ 6:37pm 
We've already done stuff like this but it comes with a ton of animation work to be polished at all, which frankly I don't feel like doing :P
RAAV 4 Jun, 2018 @ 7:54am 
I have idea/challenge for brave modders:
If its possible, to merge player with deer (like riding on him) we can try think about remodel, and add horses for transportation :)
VONMON 1 Jun, 2018 @ 9:28pm 
I love how you can use tools while sitting.
Equinox  [author] 30 May, 2018 @ 3:56pm 
Known problem in first person view: the player is behind their actual location. I don't have a fix.
DRK_Samurai_9601 30 May, 2018 @ 3:19pm 
For some reason I sit behind the chair.
kraven 30 Apr, 2018 @ 1:58am 
Ooohhh i thought it was E lol
Equinox  [author] 29 Apr, 2018 @ 11:51am 
Press F to enter, F to exit. (Your primary action key)
If you enable crosshair hints (Options -> Game) you'll be able to see the popup for mods that add custom controls.
kraven 29 Apr, 2018 @ 4:02am 
What button do i have to press to sit down?

Where's the PogChamp emoji when you need it?! Awesome!
STORI3D PAST Productions 23 Apr, 2018 @ 4:21am 
Game changer! I’ve wanted to sit for 3 years!
