NPC's aiming too high

[P4zL22]

Lately most of the NPC's I'm doing by the NPC-Tool don't hit me any longer with their shots. They are shooting above my head. It seems the NPC's are thinking my playermodel would be much taller. Anyone ever had that problem? Does someone know how to fix that?

I don't know how to post a screenshot here, could someone explain it to me? I think if someone can see what my problem is, it will get clearer. 

 

I didn't know how to get a screenshot in here, so i uploaded it. Here is the Link:

Maybe someone can help me now

 

Yours sincerely,

Can you show us your NPC files so we can see what's going on?

It's not a problem with a mod. I tried doing them on another pc with a new installation and I got exactly the same problem.

I came across this problem at least twice: the first one being the model I played for – it was a fan-made character, and JO/JA models would aim at something else instead of the Player model, somewhere above the head. I might assume it has something to do with tags in the model of the Player.

 

The second time happened with the classic Weequay NPC and its original model: we made a script, that made the NPC use their bowcaster. Instead of shooting a certain target, Weequay would aim somewhere in the ceiling or so. The target wasn't NPC or Player – it was sort of model_misc or similar to target_.

 

In your screenshots you use the classic Jaden model, so why this problem occured  – that's a question. 

[P4zL22]

An interesting fact is, that this problem just occurs with some of the models.

Some just work fine, while others aim somewhere else.

 

There are no differencies in the npc files of a functioning and a non-functioning NPC.

I think it has something to do with the model-files themselves.

[P4zL22]

Does really nobody know how to solve that? 

[Daedra]

Do those playermodels do the same thing for EVERY weapon? Or is it only happening with the specific weapon they have currently equipped?

 

If the playermodels do the same thing for EVERY weapon, it could be either A) a playermodel problem (unlikely) or B) a global setting for the weapons (most likely).

 

If the playermodels do it for only the one weapon that's equipped, it can be either A) a playermodel problem (likely) or B) a weird setting in the .dab file of the weapon (also likely).

[P4zL22]

They do the same for every weapon.

 

Where do I change those global settings or how can I compare them to working models?

[P4zL22]

I found out that, if I use the model.glm file of a functioning playermodel the problem does not occur - the npc is aiming right then, but of course if you do that you have a problem with the skin of the playermodel now.

 

I just want to say maybe it is something in that model.glm file that causes this trouble. Could that be possible? Any ideas?

[Alvar007]

The problem is within the playermodel's .glm themselves. I was just having this problem right now with the Death Watch pack released by JAWS, the npcs were aiming too high. I opened the models in blender and saw that they had no head tags. So I imported the head tags from the kyle model and now they work just fine. Try to open them in blender and see what's wrong or if you don't know how to do it I can take a look at them for you, just send them over.

Thank you! This really looks like the solution to that problem.

I'm gonna try it :-)
