Tiziano74 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Hi I created a horse that behaves like a follower in the game, but now I have a problem. I also created a fortress, which being really big, has magic stones that allow fast travel from one place to another... What I would like to do is, when I teleport from one place to another in the fortress, that the horse does not follow me once the fast travel has been performed (obviously it appears close to me because in the game mechanism it is recognized as a follower). So I would like to create a script to put on the horse that does 2 things: - recognizes that a place is an interior - (and therefore) does not allow the horse to use fast travel together with the player Does anyone have any ideas on how to make the script and with what commands? I saw this but I did not understand how it works: MyHouseMarkerProperty.EnableFastTravel(false) Could MyHouseMarkerProperty be an XMarker to put inside my house? Because if that were the case, I would just need to insert a script into the horse with this string, making it recognize the XMarker and not allowing the horse to use fast travel in the area where it is positioned . . . Does it work like this or differently? I thank in advance whoever answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterMartyr Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 what wrong with a stable? ; Enable fast travel Game.EnableFastTravel() ; Disable fast travel Game.EnableFastTravel(false) there you go, see where you when wrong EDIT: if you are not sure what the code does, I would recommend looking it up https://ck.uesp.net/wiki/Category:Papyrus#:~:text=Pages in category "Papyrus bookmark that page, and in this case https://ck.uesp.net/wiki/EnableFastTravel_-_Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xkkmEl Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 The issue here is not fast travel per se. It is about how the follow AI procedure works. If the follow target is not in the same worldspace or too far from the follower, the AI package makes it teleport near the target. I do not know of any way to affect this behavior. My suggestion would be to change how the AI package is setup. Unfortunately you cannot do it by adding conditions to the AI package itself. The conditions will not be checked fast enough to prevent the builtin teleport. One possibility would be to have the horse follow a marker instead of the player, and have the marker periodically move to where the player is. Using a script on the marker, you can test whatever conditions you need. You'll have to work out exactly where you want the marker to go... "targetMarker.moveto( Game.getPlayer())" for the most part, but where do you want it to go otherwise? and under what conditions exactly? Your first challenge will be making these conditions and destinations explicit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is not how to enable or disable the fast travel, but how to do it for the horse that acts like a follower in my case. I don't want the horse to appear next to me when I fast travel inside my fortress once I reach my destination. About the stable . . . it's all in a new worldspace, and unfortunately stables doesn't work in new worldspaces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your proposal, if I understand correctly, is to make it so that when I activate one of the magic stones to use fast travel inside the fortress, the horse is teleported to another place at that moment (which could be for example a stable outside the fortress)... It would be worth trying as an idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be worth trying as an idea... I was actually thinking that your horse would follow the marker all the time, instead of you (or whoever else the horse normally follows). You then have the choice of making the marker follow you or not according to circumstances. You just need to move the marker around using a script (say once a second). What you suggested would also work, but only for the fast travels you initiate with your stones. The horse would still follow you through any load doors or when fast traveling from the map.

IsharaMeradin Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Consider skipping actual fast travel in the home. Instead, use MoveTo to move the player from one location to another when your magic stones are activated. You can then check for any followers and what type of follower they are and use MoveTo on only the appropriate ones. Or just leave all followers at the entrance. The only real reason to use the fast travel mechanic is if you are concerned about maintaining the passage of game time when travelling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterMartyr Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 I hated messing with or making AI procedures, I have done it heaps, but I place with nav-meshing, only when I have too. https://ck.uesp.net/wiki/Category:Procedures a custom follower the player package, but not indoors or certain areas of your choosing https://ck.uesp.net/wiki/Follow_(Procedure) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Horse that i created can't open doors, so it can't follow me inside interriors or load doors, btw it can travel with me in the map as a follower in fast traver, and it's exactly what i wanted.
