Dahveed Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 A lot of modders seem to have figured out how to mess around with AI settings of NPCs, so it seems that it would be at least possible to put some kind of switch in the game where you could talk to your follower and tell them "don't attack anything" (or something more RP-sounding) so that they don't automatically attack enemy NPCs (for example if I just want to sneak past something.) It gets really annoying when I just want to travel around, and there is a big fight going on (because of the Civil War mod or WiS mod) that I want to sneak by... by then my follower(s) all decide to start randomly shooting at stuff. It would be nice to have a switch to get them to ignore battles unless they (or I) are specifically attacked, or until I manually turn their combat AI "switch" back on by telling them in dialogue option "okay let's get aggressive" or something. I'm surprised something like this hasn't already been modded yet, considering how annoying follower AI can be sometimes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahveed Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 I asked about this elsewhere too but I still haven't gotten any answers. Does anyone know of a mod that does something like this? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grayarea Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Dahveed, Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm having the same problem. I suspect Civil War may be the problem since I didn't really notice this being an issue before but after updating to the recent version, this behavior is near game-breaking since I sneak a lot and my followers will rush into a fight, regardless if I have a mod installed like Better Sneak which is supposed to reduce their aggressiveness. Did you try to see what happened with CW uninstalled? That I think is my next step. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GODSBANE123456 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) I am looking into making a mod like this, ill get back to you later tonight on my progress. Later tonight:well... i havent looked into it, but i know how it should be done. find all the associated factions (CurrentFollowerFaction), dialogue, and scriptsedit them appropriately (and perhaps add a new Faction that is friends to all other factions so they wont attack)in the dialogue, make it so that when you have them in passive mode, they are a part of the faction, but when they aren't in passive, they will attack as you attack.

Sayasam Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I approve ! In this case, I make my follower wait somewhere, and then after I go pick him back. It's annoying... Great Idea ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grayarea Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Orand06, I'm trying that mod but thus far, the torch part works but when in range of an enemy, the follower will still flank and attack. They at least wait until I stealth arrow someone, but they usually only give me one or two shots. If it's a group of mobs, you can see how that's problematic. What's your experience been? I added his script to some custom followers so maybe that's part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabbythere Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 To anyone modding this it would be awesome to be able to select stances on followers. for example it would be awesome if i could set them to just be an archer and fight at range or healer to just follow and use healing and defence spells on me.

Don't bump 4 year old threads holy s***. It means people have needs for such followers. Id like to have a follower who travels with me but is "undetectable" by npc and never fights. Like passive item that never aggros or getts aggroed. Just to talk and do followers quest, thats what I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
