follower problem

[viking99]

Hi I have a small problem getting a npc to follow the player through doors. I am using a simple follow package it works fine but the npc won´t follow into another cell.

 

1. Is there a setting I have missed or do I need to attach a script to the npc?

 

I don´t need a full companion wheel of functions. The npc is a part of the quest and are supposed to follow the player from one place back to the homebase. All I need is the ability to follow the player through doors.

 

2. The npc have several REFs in the gameworld but only one of them should follow the player. I assume I use getStage to trigger the use of the script on the base form. Is there a way of removing the script after I am done with it I wouldn't want it to eat game resources?

 

3. If a script is needed how should it look like. I assume I use placeAtMe together with the function getdistance but I am not quite sure how to do it.

Make sure the 'no low level processing' box is not ticked.

The box is not ticked, any other ideas?

There are some flags under the follow package for locking and unlocking doors are they relevant for a already unlocked door?

The cells are vanilla cells I am exiting the zap neon sign factory. Do you Know if npcs on a normal follow package follows the player between cells?

I have checked all the flags under the package on the geck website and none of them seems to be related to this problem.

I have checked out the problem further and tested the area with another follower equipped with a simple follow package and it worked perfectly. I haven´t seen any differences between the 2 npc in their settings. Only difference is that the npc I want to use has been setRestrained as a prisoner and then freed and unrestrained.

Finally solved the problem turned out I accidently assigned a travel package instead of a follow package. :whistling: It does not matter in the same cell but she could not follow the player to another cell. Anyway problem solved... Thanks Q for trying to help me.
