Making an NPC FORCED to follow you?

[Maladrum]

To be clear, this is not a question about how to make a follower. That process is quite easy.

 

However, in a quest, I want to make an NPC begin following me. There would be no trading equipment option or anything (you would just attempt to talk to the NPC and they would say an idle statement); just the NPC following the player. I looked into some Vanilla Skyrim quests which include this (such as the quest wherein the player rescues Derkeethus, and the radiant companion quest wherein the player rescues a victim), but found nothing that implied a script which activated such a following command.

 

So basically, I need to know the line of script, or whatever else allows this process to begin and move along so that an NPC involved in a quest will follow me.

 

I could not find anything on this subject online, and I'm hoping someone can help me.

 

Thanks,

There is a follow and followplayer package template. Add that, condition it to the stage or whatever, and there you go!
