abelincoln4 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) The custom companion I created in the GECK does everything I'd like it to, except for the essential ability to walk. He can walk if he's in combat, but to follow me he just stands still, he only teleports to me when I enter or exit a building. I have tried asking him to follow me from a distance or close up -it just doesn't work. If anyone could help me, it would be appreciated.

Colourball77 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I have this same problem. He tries to walk when I move away from him but it stuck in the position I hired him from. Did you ever find an answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abelincoln4 Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 I have this same problem. He tries to walk when I move away from him but it stuck in the position I hired him from. Did you ever find an answer?I still have the .esp for him, however I simply gave up. After a few months, I began using the GECK again and am significantly better at it.Right now I am creating a fairly medium-large sized mod, but the worldspace keeps getting deleted. I hope you find the answer to your new companion, if you do, please do pm me as I still have no clue why he won't move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmongo Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 In order to teleport to you when you go through a door (or otherwise teleport), all the companion needs is to be set as your companion, i.e. you executed the script command SetPlayerTeammate 1. For a companion to follow you, the companion needs to have a follow package and that follow package needs a condition on it which is true, and all other packages that the companion has need conditions that are false so that they will not run instead of the follow package. For example. let's say your NPC has a follow package and a wait package, and a variable npc_following and a variable npc_waiting. The follow package has the condition if npc_following is 1 and the wait package has the condition if npc_waiting is 1. If you set npc_following to 1 and npc_waiting to 0, and then execute an evp no the NPC, then they should follow you. If you want them to wait, set npc_following to 0 and npc_waiting to 1. If you accidentally set both variables to 1 then either package could execute, so the NPC might follow you or they might not. If you accidentally set both variables to 0 then the companion will not do anything. This is the best companion tutorial that I have found:https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/45278/? The other thing that might stop a companion from moving is if they aren't on a valid navmesh. If the area that they are in isn't navmeshed, then they will just stand there.

leotheEliteMajor117 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 @abelincoln4 Yeah it might be a invalid Navmesh but, I really like the font you used to post on the forums. How you set that up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
