Making Companions for hire

[cfh85]

the follow package used in companions is fairly straight forward. I'm not sure how you could make NPCs have problems with stairs. I had the problem before with a lot of vanilla npcs. I had setup a lot of mods, so I don't know if it came from a specific mod or if it's just a glitch (like completing KotN preventing you from sitting)

I think it might be the way I'm using the Add Script Package. I have it run every few seconds, so maybe it's confusing Merrill? I'll see if I can take a look at it today and let you know if I find anything. Thanks for telling me about the problem. :)

 

Her nude problem is an easy fix. I just have to add an OnLoad Block that removes her armor, and adds a new one. I'll get that up ASAP. It's a good thing their are no kids in Oblivion to see that. Must be a P-Virus outbreak or something in Cydroil. :)

Why are you using addscriptpackage? it's easier to add the packages to the NPC and have a faction rank condition. When you ask the NPC to follow/stay or any other commands it changes their rank which then causes a different package to be used

I like using it. Started doing it when I released the Stray Dog mod and I fell in love with it ever since. I think I got her coding fixed now, I did have the package update to much, now it checks if shes not running a follow package. Now, her clothing is a bit trickier then I thought. I'm going to have to do some experiments.

the nude thing dose really bother ;) but i think it happen cus her armor be completely broken

[cfh85]

use the active inventory mod I posted and you can repair/change any NPC's equipment

That solves the armor problem then. I'm going to try to see if I can make her a default armor that she'll put on when she doesn't have other armor so you can't just strip her down to her undies. :)

 

Once I get that done I'll upload the file again and she should be all set.

 

@cfh85

I don't know if it will conflict with your inventory mod though, since that would lead to an infinite supply of armor. Does it work on all items or only non-quest items?

 

-EDIT-

Okay, I made it so Merrill adds a new armor if she's not wearing her standard armor. She removes the old one and adds the new one. I need to do a bit more testing, as all I did was set her health to 9999 and her aggression to 100 and let her destroy Anvil. Her armor never broke, even when fighting the spell-seller from my other mod who can launch you thousands of feet in the air. I want to do a quick dispel armor test when my laptop cools off. Been having over-heating problems unfortunately.
