Animated Beds - Proof of concept Mod

DESCRIPTION

This is a Proof of concept for animated craft-able beds. It adds 6 craft-able beds, which have animations setup for the player and NPC's. Settlers will randomly use them as well. Waiting is disabled and camera movement is allowed. You can find them in the workshop menu under furniture, beds.

This mod DOES NOT allow you to actually sleep in the beds. As far as I know, there is no way to call the SleepWaitMenu from a script currently (Why Bethesda? lol)

For now, my hope is people will get enjoyment out of theses, good for screenshots or maybe player homes, or maybe another modder more talented then myself will come along and be inspired by this and come up with a clever way to get actual sleeping working. From there I think the method could probably be applied to all beds in the wasteland and voila working animated beds...

Well, its a first step anyway :)

All assets are vanilla, and obviously free to use with full permission. Throw me a small shout if you do wind up using them I'll appreciate it!

Unfortunately this one prob isn't gonna be as helpful as my working sanctuary shower proof of concept, but hey you never know. The community is pretty awesome at surprising everyone with the unthinkable.

What I've done so far to try and get this to work

1. Adding both the Sleep and Sit keywords
2. Adding the sleep keyword to the furniture item after a short wait period via script
3. Creating a copy of the furniture item with the SleepFurniture keyword (which brings up the SleepMenu), and then placing it at the players location and manually clicking it while lying down animation is playing
4. Creating an identical furniture Item with the SleepFurniture keyword (which brings up the SleepMenu) and then hooking into the OnActivate event and Activating the other Bed reference via script.
5. Trying (with limited success) to call a bat file which contains the console command for ShowSleepWaitMenu

FAQ/KNOWN ISSUES

1. Waiting can be enabled, but on survival its a bad idea since you just get tired from waiting lol.
2. The animations work surprisingly well with the combination of keywords and entry points i have come up wih. Of course they arent perfect
3. In order to enable camera movement, first person switching is enabled, in first person it will look scary...Arms danglingdangling and such lol..stay away.
