Alright I'm making a mod, see sig.

 

In this Mod you'll have a choice to pick between a male or female made/butler.

 

Problem is I don't know how to script, i guess, the male/female to go to megaton/tenpenny and remain there.

 

Thier location is the springvale school jail cell. After some dialogue they'll be released and will run (teleport or whatever) to the players house.

 

I don't know how to do that X.x

I haven't worked with making new NPCs very much (just a ghoul named Becky, and she was kind of sedentary), but I'd advise you to look at other NPCs who are forced to travel between points and fiddle around until you figure out which AI package is making them do it. Then copy that and change it to your specifications.

 

Off the top of my head, I know Bryan Wilks from the "Them!" quest has to travel to specific places at specific times - e.g. when a certain quest condition is met he goes to Rivet City from the shelter in Grayditch. From what I understand, getting NPCs to go from place to place isn't all that tough, it's keeping them alive on the way.

 

Hope that helps ~

Not a matter of much scripting, except perhaps a quest variable to control the condition of the AI package that causes them to travel from A to B. Have a look at the options when creating a new travel AI package for your NPC and you should start to get the general idea. Like Rogue said, the problem is making sure they don't die along the way, but that can be easily solved if you're willing to make the butler an 'essential' character.

 

You'll need two separate packages, one that travels to megaton and the other to tenpenny, as well as conditions to check which place the player owns. Note that a lot of people use a mod to make so that they can own both places, so you may want to accommodate for that. You'll also want to make sandbox/service AI packages to be enabled once the butler has reached his/her destination.

 

If none of this makes any sense, you've got to go back and learn the basics. Visit the geck wiki and start reading like crazy.
