Craigsters Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I wanted to set a paladin brotherhood member guard as essential and when I went to type SetEssential 0005cb3d 1 into the cheat console window, it wouldn't work!, I got a long elternate message, something about not being saved or something to those words, can't recall what the long message was and why it wouldn't work!.. How do you enter the SetEssential code and NPC number 1 into the cheat console window? a bit confused as to how, and who I can use this cheat on :confused: I'd like to set Dusty at big town as essential and maybe everyone in bigtown as essentail and the brotherhood guards around the washington monument and GNR as essential if possible!.. :thanks: Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overload1977 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 setessential 288BC 1 i dont know what code you are using Craigsters ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigsters Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 Is there a site that gives you the code numbers for the paladin brotherhood members and all the big town residents and those guarding GNR and the Washington monument ? Also do I have to re-enter the set essential code each time I turn on my game? or once you set a person essential there always essential? :thanks: Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVampireDante Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Wouldn't it be easier to find the NPC's you want in the GECK and making them essential there as a mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmanners Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 The *easiest* thing to do is to use FOSE, and just click on an NPC. Then type: gbo This will give you that NPC's BaseID (which is what you need for setessential). You can then confirm that they are essential with: IsEssential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigsters Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 I'm no good with geck, tried to use it once, but made my game crash when I tried to add a item to a locker in megaton!.. I'll use this mod instead NPC Essential I just installed it and tried it and it seemed to work!.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
