Making Companion draw his weapon when I do?

[Syeeb]

This is what I have in his "Result Script (Begin)" for the Hire Dialog

 

Set mdrDeiselREF.Waiting to 0

Set mdrDeiselREF.Relax to 0

Set mdrDeiselREF.IsFollowingDefault to 1

Set mdrDeiselREF.IsFollowingLong to 0

Set mdrDeiselREF.CombatStyleRanged to 1

Set mdrDeiselREF.CombatStyleMelee to 0

Set mdrDeiselREF.HasBeenHired to 1

SetPlayerTeammate 1

SetIgnoreFriendlyHits 1

mdrDeiselREF.evp

 

Now my understanding was that the line: "SetPlayerTeammate 1" would make him draw his weapon when I do, but he won't, he will sneak when I sneak but not ready his weapon. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

You have to use a script for this, it's not part of teammate behavior. Script is attached to the companion.

 

scn CompanionWeaponScript

 

ref me

 

Begin GameMode

 

set me to getself

 

If player.isweaponout && me.isweaponout == 0

me.setalert 1

elseif Player.isweaponout == 0 && me.isweaponout

me.setalert 0

endif

 

End

 

Probably a more efficient way to do it, but I have a bad headache and can't think straight right now.

[ThiefHawk]

couldn't he just add to his companion main script?

	if ( Player.isweaponout == 1 )
			Setalert 1
	elseif ( Player.isweaponout == 0 && IsInCombat == 0 )
			Setalert 0
	endif

Might get some strange behavior like that as it is setting alert or not alert every frame.

 

In mine you could set the "set me to getself" in an onload block but you would need to change areas the first time you load the mod to make the onload fire. It doesn't run when loading a save game, but once it runs the first time it will work from then on.

How do I attach this script to my companion? Also, do I use what you typed exactly, or do I change something in it to my companions Ref (mdrDeiselREF) ?

[ThiefHawk]

I added it to my companion script seems to work

Check out the script for Followers Unholster

 

The author used NVSE. If you edit companion scripts directly, it will be incompatible with many companion mods (sandbox, idles, etc.)

All of your responses have been very helpful. Combining all the answers has gotten me where I wanted to be for now with no obvious conflicts so hopefully its done now :) thanks everyone.
