Adding a Common Follow Script

[russader]

I'm redoing a popular mod with permission from the original authors to do whatever I want with it. Everything is going great so far except for one thing. The mod contains a standard companion, NOT a CM companion. As such I need to add a standard follow script, can anyone tell me how to do so?

If you mean, you just need someone to follow you. You just need a package for in the AI of the npc.

which depends if you need: either one that's escorting you,

or one that follows you.

 

next to that it depends on when you companion is added,

 

if its part of a quest, you don't need any scripting. Just add quest conditions to the package conditions.

if you did somehow otherwise, you could use scripting, but you probably added dialogue, so I don't think this is the case.

 

if you want to add follow and wait to the companion. you just need to add an addition to the quest-script or add a quest script.

 

scn CompanionRelatedQuestscript

short follow
short wait

 

in dialogue, you then need to add in the result script, (placed under the dialogue) something like:

set (same name as in Getstage) Quest.follow to X (1 or 0)

;for inside the followdialogue resultscript
set Quest.follow to 1
set Quest.wait to 0

;for inside the waitdialogue resultscript
set Quest.follow to 0
set Quset.wait to 1

 

Hope this is what you need.

 

Good luck.
