ah I am unsure what you are trying to do there is an easier way then scripts, but I would need more detail on what you are doing ie do want them drawn all the time, some of the time, or just at certain spots

I'm not the original poster but I've been watching this topic and wondering the same thing. From his post, I think he wants the same thing I want, which is to make the companion draw their weapon, ready for combat, whenever the player has their own weapon out.

 

I always thought it was weird that vanilla and modded companions would follow you around calmly while you're all combat-ready because you see a bunch of Raiders just 50 yards away.

You could contact rickerhk, the author of Brisa Almodovar. She draws her weapon when the PC draws theirs and if not in combat, holsters the weapon when the PC does.

This is the code I use in my mod in the "BEGIN Gamemode" section of the "NPC Script" to get that effect. Make sure its in the NPC Script.

if ( getactorvalue variable03 == 1 )          ;Is the NPC following you?
if ( player.IsWeaponOut == 1 )        ;If your weapon is out
	SetAlert 1                    ;NPC draws weapon
else                                  ;If weapon is not out
	SetAlert 0                    ;NPC holsters weapon
endif
endif

Well that makes sense. I'll try that out. I also noticed that LVB2's script is similar but there are spaces around the periods for some reason, which may lead to syntax errors.

 

- edit:

 

Thanks vforvic. Looks like that works. I actually edited it so that the script is a bit lighter so it looks like this:

 

BEGIN GameMode
; Draw weapon when player has weapon out.
if  ( GetPlayerTeammate == 1 ) && ( player.IsWeaponOut == 1 )
	SetAlert 1
else
	SetAlert 0
endif
end

 

Tested it in-game and it works like a charm.
