Making a new companion... need help n pointers.

[MaesterAelix]

First off, let me say that this is my very, very first mod.

I got myself a lot of ideas and ambition.

 

I have gotten into some youtube vid's on how to work with the creation kit and the like...

So here is my first couple questions:

1) Is there a list of "lines" for the player character I can see, so I can 'voice' the player for interaction and quests?

2) I created my NPC and he's wandering around where I put him, but he doesn't greet my PC - and when I click on him there is a long awkward pause, and then phase 1 text starts. What did I do wrong?

 

I am sure there will be more as time goes by.

 

Thanks!

Hey there modding community.

Getting my NPC to work better, but I need help with quest giving.

A) How do I add a vanilla item to an existing loot box?

B) How do I add a quest item to drop off an existing enemy?
[want to kill a deathclaw already in the game, to get my quest reward from it.]

 

 

Thanks!

The only way I remember how to do that is the following:

1) Duplicate the item

2) Rename it to something easy to remember

3) Replace the old one with that one

4) Edit base for the new one

5) Add the item to the Item List (top center box)

 

As for the second question the best I could come up with is: This Reddit Post

B) if I recall correctly, drop the item down in the Creation Kit, right click>edit,>Spawn Container Tab, choose who you want the item to drop from.

...iirc.

 

Edit: This is if it's one specific unique item and a singular npc you are specifically targeting as you "get that guy!" npc.
