followers not attacking

[chibievil]

i have this weird problem, non of my follwers except morrigan will attack monsters unless i select all and hit attack on a monster. now i dont want them to just 'attack' i would like them to use there skills.

in the tactics its set up on agressive for all my characters but they still wont do anything, and i can see skills and stuff, and they have plenty of stamina too.

i tried clicking on the picture that says hold then clicking again to make them attack, buit it won't help. please help me

UGH! Nasty problem! I dunno if we can figure it out or not, but lets take a shot at it.

First is to find out if anything has changed when the problem began. Have you installed any new mods, changed any settings, opened any files in toolset, had any game crashes, etc, before the problem started?

 

does this happen on all your characters, or just the one? Is it in ALL areas of the game, or just one?

[chibievil]

well i did open my save in toolset to change my backpack size but i dont see how that would effect it any

i also downloaded the learn all spells mod

that might do something i dunno, but i disabled it now.

also my other saves aint effected by this, and new games too. i suppose it must have something to do with that save. i'm not far in anyway so i just started again haha

You'd be amazed at how stupid toolset can be. Or some of things that it can break.

I've had an issue with All can learn. A lot of the newer versions have been updated for v 1.03, so they dont work right with 1.02. I had to deinstall and revert back to I think,,,, v3.4 in order to get it work right again? This after uninstalling awakening and reverting to patch 1.02.

 

Well, I'm glad that you got it worked out. I dont recommend redoing that save edit tho, just to make sure. Curious....what did you set it to? The max is 125, did you set it higher than that?

Theres a mod called dragon age mutator, which can expand your inventory out to max. http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=166

keep in mind tho that mutator isnt a standard mod. It's a standalone program, that contains multiple mods. You dont drop it into the override folder like normal, or throw it into da modder. (Well, you can throw it into override if you want to, but damodder wont do anything with it.)

you just run it, then check off which ones you want it to do, then close it :wink:

Well i read a tutorial and it said to set it to 999 and it works fine, i started mage origins again as my last file i didnt like it works fine, the only reason i need more room is if i save quit then reload the mods i have on puts more items on me and it tiresome to keep selling or dropping the stuff just so i could buy a potion or something

Chibi, you've got to remember to use periods. or some other method to break up your sentences. :wink:

The first two lines of text, its taking me several reads to understand what you're telling me.

 

I have seen a thread where if the toons have too much gear on them, they don't act correctly. So its possible that maybe you are carrying too much stuff. On a test game, (dont save it, the console can cause bugs). throw their strength and constitution up by about 20 points, and see if that cures the problem.

 

I found out what the prob was on mine. It was a custom character, and the author botched up their AI. Not that it helps you out, since yours are vanilla characters tho :sad:

 

are you using any of the unlimited storage mods? I really like QM Tolby, myself. http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=207

and the bag of holding mod- http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=167

[chibievil]

i am using the max bag space that gives u up 2 250. so maybe that. but yea maybe i should put some stuff away too.

 

and sorry about my sentances been too bunched up

[DarkeWolf]

no prob, it happens. :wink:

 

let me know if that cures the problem. would like more than one source, so I can know if thats a real bug, or just a load of crap, lol.

[chibievil]

yea i loaded a previous save when i didnt use the toolset and i sold some stuff and dropped into the storage box, but he still wont attack, i looked at his gear and the strength was reddened, so i put it for something he could wear but he still wouldn't attack, his tacts was on custom so i made it agressive, not attacking, everyone BUT alistair attacks. i seriously need help with this

[DarkeWolf]

are you using a mod which alters him? or a mod that alters the AI of the characters?

Have you made any mods or commands which changes the class of the character...say from warrior to rogue, etc?

If so, try uninstalling that. If not, let me know and I will see what I can do about finding Al's file and will send it to you. Perhaps his file is corrupted. I had a bad issue with Party Recruiting, where ALL the characters EXCEPT Arl Eamon (which was of course the one that I modded) would attack. eamon would hit once, then just stand there and get beat on, like a moron. His AI file was bad, so I couldnt use him.
