Trying to duplicate an NPC as a follower.. help please

[patrick5988]

Hey all, Ive made followers before, both new and I think duplicated as welll. I am running into some trouble with this one however.

I want to duplicate Hamelyn, who shows up under BRETON ACTOR DunHonningBrewRatGuy

-I duplicate him. I change ID and Name to "AshaMan".
-I set essential
-I set Factions CurrentFollower Rank -1
-I set Potential Follower Rank 0


-----The next step is where I cant proceed-----

I can not edit the AI DATA for "Hamelyn" it is greyed out, and I can not find a way to make it unrestricted.

ALSO

I am told to go into the Relationships tab and change Parent NPC to what I set the ID to: "AshaMan" however, there is no "AshaMan" selection.

I set the Child NPC to "Player"


I don't need to edit any character personalization/inventory data, I just want to duplicate the base NPC into a separate follower version. but I am getting jammed up by those 2 problems...

I was going along with the provided NPC Follower creator guide.... http://steamcommunity.com/groups/SkyrimCKPublic/discussions/1/882959061768715596/

but it doesnt tell me how to resolve those problems.

Well I figured out the greyed out area was because of the set boxes on the character information area... however I still can not work my way around the Parent NPC Relationship problem...

I am not sure what specifically would be in conflict by Haemyns LvlWizardBanditM class... basically.. .IF i alter that do I just have to go make my own character anyway? If that is what is conflicting with the follower relationship...

Is your character set as 'unique'? If you don't do that, relationships cannot be created.

That did the trick on the blank NPC i tried to work it with. How do I set a character to unique that is a duplication of a character whos Unique box is greyed out..

 

Specifically : Hamelyn "dunhonningbrewratguy" : who has Actor Base: Template : LvlWizardBanditCommonerM

 

I wish to use Hamelyn as an exact duplication to my own personal follower... spells and level capabilities etc..

Just untick all the boxes in the left lower corner, this way you can edit everything about your new npc.

You can keep the actor base on "LvlWizardBanditCommonerM" to get the original date from that, but as long as you have some boxes ticked they will be locked and I'm guessing setting a relationship is one of them.

Also I always go to DarkFox videos on youtube whenever I need something done, hes got tutorials about so may things and he is really good in providing information, so go check this out:

Well, essentially I'd like to be able to use the character that is being played in my game, so If I uncheck his boxes, aren't I removing those characteristics?
