Need help Companion and Elevator.

[FirstVaultDweller]

Hi,

I created a elevator voor my player home and was wondering if it is possible that my companion can use the elevator by his own ?

For example i'm upstairs and command him to come also upstairs,that he than uses the elevator to reach me.

H3S, are you using the same cell elevator? The "same cell elevator" separates the navmeshes, so your companions won't be able to see you if you are on the other side, unless you have stairs connecting the two floors and have one connected navmesh.

 

I've looked at some vanilla game locations while I working on the same exact problem you are experiencing, and found out that they all use separate cells and loading elevators. If you look at the Vault 81, for example, the entrance and the main levels are in separate cells connected by a loading elevator. I think the so-called "same cell elevator" is meant to be used for places like Monsignor Plaza, where all floors are connected even without elevators.

 

BTW, you need to navmesh inside the elevator, or the companions won't go in with you. To do this, you can put a temporary floor piece where the elevator would be to create a navmesh over it, and then delete this floor after the mesh is done.

Thnx for your quick replay,

the elevator is in the same cell.

I did that already that works if he is on the elevator but still i must push the button so he can come with me, but wanted more someting that the navmesh moves with the elvator and that my companion uses the elevator by his own.

I don't know maybe it is not possible,

but thnx anyway.ð

Well, what I wanted to say was :

 

1) Your companions can't press the button and call the elevator, but they are able to use load doors. Companions can use load elevators, but not the same cell elevators.

 

2) Your two floors need to be in two separate cells, not in the same cell.

Ok , so in my case it is not posible .

Thnx it is clear for me now and maybe i use the load elevators in another mod .

Have a nice dayð

I would use an invisible door. I noticed that a merchant NPC travels from the Commonwealth to Far Harbor using an invisible door located in front of the boat. So I guess you could use the same thing for your elevator. They will use this door when you reach the navmesh of the other floor, on the other side of the door.
