suspectedanarchist Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Ok so recently I made a companion with a companion wheel and for some reason he refuses to use weapons and just takes his fists out and puts them away really fast. I couldn't find anything on this and had a feeling this might be a companion companion bug. I can provide more if needed but if anyone knows whats wrong plz let me know. If needed I can upload this to the Nexus which can allow downloads to see what the problem is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubiousintent Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Let's start with the basics. Does your companion have:* The appropriate minimum skill for the chosen weapon(s), to include "unarmed"?* The weapon (and appropriate ammo) for that skill in their inventory?* Is the weapon not broken ("condition" greater than 0%)? If any of the above are not true, you could have that symptom by design. NOTE: As reported by punchbattle in this thread, if the companion does not have the skill "tagged", it won't level along with you. You might want to look over some of the tutorials listed under the "Custom NPCs" section of the wiki "Getting started creating mods using GECK" article. -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suspectedanarchist Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 Yeah so I had him following me and he uses his fists when I do. He has a unique riot shotgun with companion ammo. But he gets like 5 or so shots before he says f*#@ it and picks up a melee weapon and goes postal on the closest enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmongo Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 If your companion has a preference for melee, you can set him to prefer ranged weapons using MyCompanionREF.SetCombatStyle FollowersCombatStyleRanged (change MyCompanionREF to the actual ref ID of your companion, of course). If you have a fully functional companion wheel, both SetCombatStyle FollowersCombatStyleRanged and SetCombatStyle FollowersCombatStyleMelee should be included as options. Companions tend to only use the base type of ammo. In other words, for the shotgun, they are only going to want to use Ammo12Ga, and not slugs, coin shot, magnum, etc. Try giving your companion a boatload of Ammo12Ga and see if the problem is that your companion doesn't think that he has ammo that he can use.

suspectedanarchist Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 So im not sure how but I just had him follow me around and he doesnt pull his fists out its only a bug when I just recruit him. Once he's with me if I have gun or hell a knife he pulls his riot shotgun out and uses companion ammo fine. He uses whatever you give him which Ill sort out later but pretty much I just needed to test it. Thank you all for the help :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
