[Companion maker extension for geck?]

changing around guns stats is one thing but trying to make a companion is damn hard. i wish there was an easy companion maker extension for geck without having to create complicated scripts and conditions, ai packages, etc. ive been trying to build a mini-sentrybot companion and its really annoying. the only solution ive had so far is using rex and changing his model to senrtybot. it still uses the rexSCRIPT and all of ai packages, which makes him really glitchy. any thoughts?

[Help with scripting problem]

thanks for the reply i guess i missed that but the script still wont save and i erased fallout 3.esm a while ago but i guess im gonna have to re-install it just to run the old-geck the new script is below with a new file attachment, anybody else think they might have an idea?

[How do I get .nif files for skeleton]

I'm a total noob at this. I'm trying to get the Fire Gecko skeleton from the game and can't seem to do such.

 

Can I not do this in GECK?

 

i found the way to extract all meshes and textures was to use the FO3_archive_utility that scriptoerron made you can get it here http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34

 

works for FNV

[GECK will not save scripts]

annoying... will try again.

Thanks

 

EDIT: Yep, That was the problem. Not very intuitive to learn the inner workings of a picky engine with a tool that just laughs at you when you've made a mistake -_-

 

sorry i didnt catch that what was the solution? im having the same problem trying to save a custom script for this companion im making. . . really frustrating. sry im kind of a noob "not compile-able"? ive tried recompiling all the scripts but i still end up with a blank one that wont save
