Do you know the Reference ID of Lydia?

@ jeremylee: That will give you the base ID of the object -- not the ref ID. Resurrect works only with the ref ID. You have to get that by clicking on the dead actor in the console, or just by consulting the wiki, which lists both the ref ID and the base ID of every NPC in the game.

 

@ CocoKrunch: There is a wealth of information that other people have dug up and recorded in the wiki. Every NPC has an article, and those articles give you both the ref ID (good for things like "resurrect" and "moveto") and the base ID (good for things like "setessential"). In fact, it's probably not a bad idea to set Lydia as essential so she can't be killed. You do that with the following command ...

 

setessential a2c8e 1

 

If you ever lose her, try ...

 

prid a2c94

moveto player

 

or

player.move to a2c94

 

The first will move her to you. The second will move you to her.

 

Note that the console remembers the current referenced ID, so to avoid screwing things up if you're using it a lot, right after doing a "prid", set the ID to its default null value by going to the console and clicking on any in-game object twice. You'll see the id appear on screen the first click and then disappear the second click.

You can get ID of anything in the console

 

help "name" 4

 

Some items have several listings, use page up and page down on your keyboard to scroll through them.

thats the BASE ID you get NOOB

 

 

anyhow heres how to MOVE a npc to your location:

 

DONT USE PlaceAtMe it will create a copy of the npc so thats BS !

 

1. open console and select npc with mouse but ofc you don't know where it is so type "prid XXXXX" (where XXXXX is npc refId) but ofc you don't know the refid so you can either:

a. save game, load a previous save, select the npc with mouse, take a paper and write down the refid, then load your last save (actually I found out the refid will stay selected even tho you loaded the game)

b. find it here: elderscrolls.wikia.com)

c. type [help "npc name"] without the brackets witch gives you the BASE id and you need to convert that to the refid so that's not really helpful...

 

now after selecting with mouse or typing "prid XXXXX" you should have the numbers in the middle of the screen

 

2. - type "moveto player" to move npc to your location (will only work if npc is alive, if its not alive first type "disable" then "enable" then "resurrect 1")

- or if you want to go to the npc type "player.moveto XXXXX" (where XXXXX is npc refId)
