Creating custom companions?

[polaris198]

Hey sorry if this is already in here somewhere i looked for it and cannot find it, but i was wondering how to create custom companions due to the fact csr is not implimented into nv yet.

You can see how I made my companion and remake it from scratch if you want

Really i guess the main thing is what scripts are required for the wheel and for said commands on the wheel to work, I am rather familiar with the geck but not the companion system that is used.

To make an NPC become a companion, in the topic dialog script section, add this into the Result Script (Begin) bit...

 

Set <NPCREF>.Waiting to 0

IgnoreCrime 1

<NPCREF>.AddPerk CompanionSuite (do not think this is neccesary)

Set <NPCREF>.IsFollowingDefault to 1

SetPlayerTeammate 1

SetIgnoreFriendlyHits 1

<NPCREF>.AddToFaction FollowerFaction 1

<NPCREF>.SetFactionRank TeammateFaction 1

ResetAI

 

Add the ID of your companion with REF at the end of it where I have <NPCREF> written (eg... MyCompanionREF), ONLY when you have already added that NPC into a cell.

 

I'm assuming you know about the short Waiting, short IsFollowingDefault bits you need in your NPC's scripts too, so I wont go into that unless you ask.

 

The "Companion Wheel" will automatically appear for all Team mates, so once you've added the dialog script, the wheel will appear.
