Ok, so I am at my wits end with this project. I have tried to follow each step in the companion tutorial but I can't seem to get it right! So, I have dumbed down my quests and scripts and I'm starting almost completely fresh with JUST the basic hire/fire dialogue. So, the problem is... that after I hire my companion (Vikki), she will NOT follow the player! No matter what I do!

 

 

So, here is my generic script:

 

scn VikkiCompanionSCRIPT


;** Vikki **
short	VikkiCompanionHired
short	VikkiCompanionFired

short 	HasBeenHired
short	WeaponOut
short	CombatStyleRanged
short	CombatStyleMelee
short	IsFollowingDefault
short	IsFollowingShort
short	IsFollowingLong
short	Waiting
short	DoOnce
Short 	Freed
Short 	Button
Short	DoOnce
Float	Timer

BEGIN GameMode
if player.getincell Vault87c && VikkiCompanionHired == 1
set VikkiCompanionHired to 0
set VikkiCompanionFired to 1
VikkiREF.moveto MS11FollowerEscapeHatchInteriorRef
ShowMessage FollowerMessageLeaveVikkiCompanion
endif
END


BEGIN OnCombatEND
if GetPlayerTeammate == 1
resethealth
restoreav perceptioncondition 100
restoreav endurancecondition 100
restoreav leftattackcondition 100
restoreav leftmobilitycondition 100
restoreav rightattackcondition 100
restoreav rightmobilitycondition 100
endif
END

BEGIN OnDeath

if VikkiCompanionHired == 1
set VikkiCompanionHired to 0
ShowMessage FollowerMessageDeadVikkiCompanion
endif

END

 

So, in the hire topic, I set up the result script in the begin box:

set VikkiREF.VikkiCompanionHired to 1
set VikkiREF.VikkiCompanionFired to 0
set VikkiREF.HasBeenHired to 1

 

 

And the fireyes dialogue end result script:

 

set VikkiREF.VikkiCompanionHired to 1

set VikkiREF.VikkiCompanionFired to 0

set VikkiREF.HasBeenHired to 1

 

I set both hire and fire topics as top level so that they would show up after the greeting (I assume this is the only way you can get it to show up after the greeting?

 

The Quest Condition for VikkiQuest is:

 

GetIsID NPC:VikkiCompanion

 

WIthin the Quest Data Tab I don't have any scripts set up. Not sure if I need one?

 

In FollowersVikkiFollowPlayerDEFAULT AI Package, I have the conditions set to:

GetScriptVariable Reference: VikkiREF, VikkiCompanionHired

 

 

Any clue as to what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

Hey mate.

 

I am a little short of time today but I will take a look for you tomorrow. Have you set her packages up already?

 

At first glance the script looks fine but the actual follow is initiated via packages. Look at one of the vanilla follower to see how its done.

 

Start basic and just create hire/fire dialogue just as you have done and get that working. Add no other package other that the follow one.

 

You can look at my companions and rip the code if you like but keep in mind that they are quite complex and could easily loose you so I would stick with Fo3s vanilla companions for now.

 

Look at FO3 default companions script and just adapt that one for your companions as the scripting needs to be nothing fancy.

 

Once you get you confidence up then you can start to add some nice features :)

 

 

I will keep tab of the topic and get back to you tomorrow when i have more time.
