Repeatable Patrol doesn't end?

[BourgeoisBanana]

Hi,

 

I'm having trouble getting an NPC to stop their repeatable patrol at bed time and go to bed.

 

Ideally the package would start at 12pm, the NPC would patrol on a loop, and then the sleep package would kick in at 8pm and they'd go to bed.

 

The problem is, when I have the repeatable patrol flag enabled, the NPC just keeps looping the patrol forever. If I disable the repeatable flag, then they do the patrol loop once and wait at the end until the sleep package kicks in.

 

The GECK Wiki recommends adding a .evp command to the X markers, which I've tried, but it doesn't seem to have solved it. Does anyone know a solution?

Have you set up the conditions properly on the package? You will need to add other packages as well, so the NPC can pick something else.

 

Such as adding an effect to the NPC when they reach the last patrol marker, which acts as a timer. Give the patrol package a condition that checks if the NPC does not have it (if Subject HasMagicEffect == 0).

 

That way, while the effect is ticking away, the NPC won't pick the patrol package.
