Increasing max minions(or followers)

[Imrinfected]

Has anyone ran across a variable, or some way to allow more summoned minions or followers?

 

I found two variables:

playerfollowercount

playeranimalcount

 

Which show how many followers and animals the player has with them respectively. I know the game probably uses this for checks with followers, so setting playerfollowercount to 0 after having a follower will probably allow for another one, which would be repeatable, and similarly could be done with animals(Like the dogs in the game that can follow you, I assume).

 

I have found nothing for summonable minions, however. I know that the perk Twin Souls allows for another minion, but editing its values has given me no result. I'm using Tessnip to look through all of these, and there's absolutely no organization so it's very difficult to find anything.

 

If anyone has found something interesting regarding this, I would be grateful for any information you could give me.

 

I would very much like to be able to summon a great deal of minions. When the CK is released, I plan on making a mod in which summoned minions or raised minions slowly drain magicka, where their duration is indefinite so long as magicka is still being drained. Raising more minions would increase the rate at which magicka drains, but could be counter-acted by increased magicka regen. I think that's a much better model for conjurers, and could allow for very interesting fights and the ability to maintain a favorite raised minion indefinitely. On that note as well, has anyone found any way to disable raised minions turning to ash once their duration is up?

i guess that could be the case in the save files if they use the same variables as the skyrim.esm

changing this variable to 1 would than perhaps result to the player not being able to get a companion if he starts a new game (If this is the case you could try setting it to a -1 if you want to have 2 followers...but you would still need to start a new game for this).

 

Also did you change the perk twin souls before you got it? Could be possible that you only see the changes if you get the perk after you changed it.

 

I don't know that much about modding with this engine so i could be wrong though
