Datapad Display Error

[Fallen Guardian]

So I've been using this:

void main()
{

object oPad = GetObjectByTag("dt_pad");

DisplayDatapad(oPad);

}

To make a datapad display in KotOR 2, however after it displays all the game's menus disappear, I can't move, and the only way to fix this is to warp to another module. Is there some other function I have to use to make the datapad "un-display" so to speak?

I've simply have had it work by getting a datapad from a placeable. I believe there is background function running that whenever you pick up an item with a datapad resref, then the menu will appear. The easiest way to do this is by finding one off of a character, pulling one out of a footlocker, or making a datapad placeable. When you open it up, you'll find a datapad in it.

Okay, I think I've figured it out. I had the datapad displaying the same moment I received an item, so now I've added a delay onto the display and everything works fine. Thanks for your help har, I may tend to do this sort of thing with placeables from now on.
