CK deleting Vanilla Scripts when making a follower

[kekechi]

I'm having a huge problem with the Creation Kit. I'm currently making a mod that adds npc's, quests, followers, and a town to the game.

 

I'm making a voiced follower for the mod at the moment. I'm using this guide as a guideline, which has sucessfully helped me make a custom voiced follower in the past:

Step 5 is where my problem lays. This problem just suddenly appeared out of nowhere. I've made 3 followers before I've even had this problem.

 

The issue is at the guide, Part 5 of it, where we are going into the Generic Quest,

DialogueFavorGeneric

 

Step 12 is the issue area. We copy Mjoll's follow me dialogue and piggy back off it's script for our voiced follower. I've done this before without issues, as I've said.

 

Now, when I copy the dialogue, I get an error about how a backup can't be made or something along those lines, which I chalked aside at first because the CK gives me errors all the time, even when you first load it up and don't do anything, it's just what it does.

 

Now when I go into the copied dialogue that has an asterisk * next to it, and edit this to fit my follower (or leave it alone), the npc it applies to will follow and do everything that it should.

 

However the original dialogue that we copied off of, Mjoll's dialogue, is messed up. If I edited the copy and put my follower in there, and left the original copy as Mjoll, then ingame my follower follows me fine, but Mjoll won't follow me!

 

Upon further inspection of Mjoll's original dialogue, her script tied to the dialogue is somehow missing after the copy!

 

This happens no matter what dialogue I copy. J'zargos, Mjoll's, Onmund, even just a voicetypexxxx line from the DialogueFavorGeneric quest.

 

 

I've tried everything to fix this. Reloading a backup before I messed with this quest, uninstalling and reinstalling the CK, trying to copy copies of working dialogue to get other working dialogue. None of it works. No matter what I always get one dialogue that will work, and the other one(s) will be missing a script.

 

Can someone please help me?!

I have the same problem. Now I have to create my follower again from scratch in new .esp

The author of that tutorial is a moron! How many years that page exists, still misleading people?
