ALittleBird Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Hey there! So I finally got the chance to check out the Creation Kit. I'm trying to make a troll follower for myself, you know, like a dog. I know it is possible, but how to do this? I tried doing it like you make a normal, human follower, but of course that won't work because I can't talk to him. Am I clear enough?So, how to do this? Thanks in advance,Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit1251 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 A troll follower sounds like fun. I hope that you can pull it off and maybe open the way for other non-human followers. Rabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korodic Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I'll be your troll/follower. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kromey Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I would love to have a troll follower -- that'd be pretty sweet, especially if the process to get him is a mini-quest to find and tame/train one. :thumbsup: Anyway, I don't have a specific answer for you, but I would suggest looking at the dogs, not the human(oid) followers, as your example to follow (well, unless you want a talking troll... ;) ). My hunch (and take this as you will, I've not looked at dog followers in the CK, nor even had one in the game!) is that it is dialog, but presented as the player giving commands ("Come" "Sit" "Stay" "ZOMG KILL THE DRAGON KILL IT KILL IT!!") which result in Papyrus triggers to the AI package. But, look at the various dogs, maybe start with Meeko, and you'll probably find what you need. Maybe even start by cloning Meeko and then changing his race to a troll.

ALittleBird Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Yeah, I just want to give the Troll commands like the dogs, because right now it just sits in one spot, and kills everyone that I attack or that attacks me :P Okay, I'll look at Meeko. You happen to know his ID in the Creation Kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kromey Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 According to UESP, his base ID is 000D95E9; I'd imagine his form ID is (or at least contains) Meeko, but I don't know (and don't have the CK here at work to look). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALittleBird Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 Thanks, looking into it right now. Just need to figure out the command thing and place him somewhere nice, maybe in a 'figure out yourself what happened here'-type place :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALittleBird Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 So I made a little campfire with a note from its previous owner, with the Troll (Borr is his name) next to it, but I'm still working on the follower thing. As a total noob in this, it's going to take some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
