Ai Package Question

[evrymetul]

Is there anyway to restart an Ai package after it is interrupted by combat? The package I made works, but after combat, the npc stays still.

 

Its a patrol package with an infinite duration that sequentially finds a flora to travel to, and repeats itself after completing the package.

Combat is considered an interrupt package, so the game stops the NPC's normal package to enter combat. Like with guards, they enter combat with a hostile then go right back to their patrol.

 

Something else may be wrong with your packages.

I'm not sure if it's important but are the flora's RefIDs persistent? I think for a package to work properly the target has to be persistent.

It happens to be anything that the TargetSelector considers flora. That's an interesting point, is there anyway to make random objects become persistent right as they are selected?

[JobVanDam]

I think it always has to be persistent. Packages can't make things persistent.

 

Why not put an persistent XMarker at each of these flora? If it's a vanilla town you might have to make patches but if it's a new town you don't have to worry about anything.

Most exterior creatures use this package, I don't think I can make every flora in the game persistent.

You would have to make a quest so it searches the area for "flora" (however you can find that, I'm not sure), makes it an alias, adds a package to the NPC to then TravelTo this flora marker. I think.
