I wanted to create some animal containers, so that when you right-click on them they give you a material (like wool), just as with the plants.
You can change the appearance of a container into all kinds of stuff but f.e. ambient_goat doesn't show up in the list over there (placeables).
It can only be chosen as appearance of a creature.
Is there a way to make it show up in the list of appearances of containers too?
That would make it a lot easier.
Or do I have to wait for someone making a placeable model of a goat next to the creature model?
Is there any difference between these two type of models anyway?

For now I have one goat with a conversation option.
So you have two options: Take wool and Leave alone.
When you choose take wool you should receive an item (for now I just took a wolf pelt).
But I don't want the player to be able to do it twice.
So I decided to make a plot, and set it to the flag that he already gave you something so the "take wool" doesn't show up anymore in conversation.
But then I figured that if I want to put more then 1 goat I have to make a seperate plotfile for each, else those other won't have the option "take wool" either.
So I guess I am back at the "I want to choose a goat appearance for my container" option.

Placeable appearances and properties are defined by the placeable_types 2DA. You can find it in the file "placeables.xls" under your "sources" subdirectory.



http://social.biowar.../Placeables.xls has information about this 2DA in particular, and http://social.biowar...t/index.php/2DA has information about 2DA editing in general. If you want to add a new placeable appearance, consider making it an M2DA addon rather than simply tacking it on to the existing 2DA file; this will allow your mod to be used in combination with other mods without conflicts (provided you don't reuse the same row ID number as someone else).

Oh, another possible approach just came to mind that's hackier but perhaps much easier (assuming it works). Try placing a container with the appearance "Invisible Object, Medium (Container)" overtop of a non-interactive goat. If the player moves his mouse pointer over the goat it should register the invisible container.
