Help me help myself.

Hi, I was wondering what the best way is to turn objects into characters. Basically I want to create some objects with fancy skills like turrets, use attributes and such. Should I find object nifs and copy them to the character folder? Should I do everything from FFEDIT? Is it a problem if they lack keyframes as they surely will?

Feel free to be very explicit since I'm not that great at modding this game.

Just a single bumb, because I'm commited to make this happen although it may take a while on my schedule. I'm sure somebody has experience.

I think if you make the Hero File point to the object in question, I believe the object will become a character.  But I haven't actually tried this.

I dunno... I have several things (floor mounted rocket launchers, gattling turrets) in my Characters directory. They show up in CTool, but not that I can recall in the character creation section. I was hoping to do green skins for them and make them GL constructs.

Thanks for the help guys!

Are the objects without animations? If I could figure out how to rip certain objects I could get really far, some are already in FFX 3 but like for example the rooftop air condition would make a killer Weather Machine.
