Now i wait on the well.
Skyrim how to keep npcs from opening locked doors.
It all worked out for my roleplay.
Kill look at the thing you want to kill open the console.
They tend to fight or wander back to their posts so thus far i ve done it by simply turning off their ai.
There are three lean tos with unowned bedrolls near the forge and a table opposite the locked entrance with a random one handed weapon on top.
Works like a charm.
It would lock the door and you could unlock it with the unlock command.
Can npcs open up any locked door that they re knocked into.
At 20 1 it s only 1 or 2 seconds but when you ve got it at 1 1 they ll stand around for 20 40 seconds before they try going through a door again.
The reason i set it to 6 is because if an npc needs to go through a door or entrance and it s being used or someone is in the way they have a small in game delay.
What i m trying to do is place random npcs around my house to make it look cooler.
There is a back gate to the keep and rear entrance which is master locked both situated by the forge.
The level of the lock scales with the number.
The next best thing other than a mod would be to use the lock command.
For example i ve got a fully armored thalmor girl outside my bedroom door in solitude and a few generic mercenaries in the basement.
If you wait in front of a locked door for 24 hours the npc cannot open it on time because you are in the way.
For the opposite effect you can set chests doors or npcs to a locked state with a number from 1 100 representing the difficulty.
There is a campfire on the walkways above near a lookout platform.
I believe that with the lock command it goes lock number 1 100 where 100 requires a key.
Had this issue in whiterun with belethor everytime.
Obviously nothing changes in game but i can go on thinking i wiped them out.
