Console Problem >>> NPC editing

hi, i'm new to the forums. and i have a little problem

regarding NPC editing.

 

in case you dont want to read it all here's my question:

 

Can i reset the Dead Count to 0 and resurrect the Big Town NPCs then?

 

---

 

i finished the "Big Town" quest whith repairing the

robot and promising to help the citizens with an

muti attack. i quickly travelled to Megaton to get

some weapons for that but as soon as i got back,

all Big Town guys and girls where gone. no one

was there anymore. seem like it took too long to

get some weapons.

 

so i thought lets try to respawn them via the console.

but it dont work. all Big town inhabitans immediately

die after i respawn them.

(but only them / other NPCs are working fine)

 

so tried a lot of stuff but no way.

 

Example (commands in order)

prid 3a77 - target Sydney 
moveto player - move Sydney to the player 
additem cb547 1 - add Vengeance 
additem 6b53e 1000 - add ammunition to Sydney 
equipitem cb547 - equip Vengeance 
unequipitem 20420 - unequip Combat Armor 
setessential 3a22 1 - make Sydney unkillable 
placeleveledactoratme 94ecc - place a new Super Mutant Master at Sydney. Can be repeated for more. 

NPC reset example (in order)

prid 3a77 - target Sydney 
disable followed by enable - disable and enable, make sure the NPC is active 
kill followed by resurrect - kill and resurrect, reset the NPC 
moveto player - move NPC to player (or player.moveto 3a77 to move the player to Sydney.)

 

this all causes dead Big Towners too.

i guess i spotted the reason for it.

when i resurrect a Big Town character with the RefID

there is a notice: "Dead Count: 1.0"

so i guess the NPCs died in a generated fight.

so my question is:

 

Can i reset the Dead Count to 0 and resurrect the Big Town NPCs then?

 

BTW - here is what the script help tells me. but i dont know how to use it:

 

 

:thanks: any answer is welcome. (and sorry if i posted in thw wrong place)

You need to find bodies and do a "resurrect" on them to get them back, although for the purposes of the quest I doubt that will be satisfactory.

 

 

I happen to know that that quest is really picky about your whereabouts. You need to fast-travel *before* you get close to Big Town. Red (and anyone else you rescue from Germantown) will continue to follow until you reach Big Town.

 

 

The upshot here is that you will need to restore an old save. You do save a number of times, right?

Well, if you find a body, you go to console mode and click on it, then type resurrect. It ain't rocket science. :)

 

As for the fast travel "thing" I guess this could explain it more specifically:

Yes, I know that NPCs reset is simple. The trick is, they are dying right after being revived.

And what do you mean by 'revive an old save'? The residents died about 13 levels ago.

simple explanation:

 

> Big Towners are gone

> no dead bodies

> adding them with console command = spawned characters are dying immedialtely

> resurrecting the dead bodies via console = they die immediately after exiting the console

 

> REASON: the Big Town people died in in fight with the muties and

get a "Dead Count = 1.0" which we couldn't change with our knowledge

yeah but this is not possible anymore becaus it been over 15 gameplay hours since than.

 

at least i made a little step forward by making a modification that makees the big towners

essential and respqwning on their own. but niw they are unconcious and they cant be woken up.
