LE How to make the Idle markers work?

[sonogu]

I am planning to built a follower room and i want the followers look alive when the player comes around, for instance one must be sleeping on the bed, other eating/reading at the table while other/s practising with archery target/practising dummy...

 

The problem is i never played around the idle markers and i guess it is not as easy as just putting the marker :)

 

So where should i begin to learn? Any article, tutorial or tip will be much appreciated.

 

Thank you in advance.

It is just that easy. Just put the furniture there, they will use them. Put idlemarkers there, they will use them.

 

If you want to do guard patrol to go from idle marker to idle marker, then you need to setup an AI package and make the idle markers owned by the NPC or his faction

Really??? Well that was a surprize for me :)

 

Thank you, i will give it a try soon as possible...

like Elianora said, just place the furniture like chairs and they will use that, just give the NPC with sandbox AI and if you want them to sleep give the NPCs sleep package same goes for eating and make sure the cell is fully navmeshed, with IDLE markers, just place them and they are in navmeshed ground then the NPCs will use them

 

for tutorial videos, this guy has some pretty good tutorials

Ok, but i am just intended to built the room not followers, so do the vanilla followers have that packages (sleep & eat) by default? Edited March 9, 2015 by sonogu

Yeah, most vanilla followers have packages that make them sandbox and sleep
