Preventing Companions to follow into certain areas

[Zorkaz]

Setup: A gate closes behind you and you're utterly alone. Every companion will stand behind it unable to enter

 

 

Does anyone know a good way to prevent companions to follow you into certain areas? The place must be navmeshed

 

Btw. "Followers Can't Travel Here" is one option but maybe there's a better one

You would need a quest with higher priority than the Followers quest with a package (I guess a wait package) in a RefCollectionAlias or ReferenceAlias that would override the companion/follower package and, somehow (maybe using OnLocationChange) add/remove the follower/companion from this alias as needed.

Tried to do a similar thing and I sort of thing. This is a script that I got off another mod author, You'll need to do some editing as not all of it is necessary:

Scriptname CoU_RemoveCompanions extends ObjectReference

;Properties
Action Property akIdle Auto
ObjectReference Property marker Auto

;Events
Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)
   Game.ForceFirstPerson()
   Actor[] playerFollowers = Game.GetPlayerFollowers()
   int index = 0
   while (index < playerFollowers.Length)
     playerFollowers[index].MoveTo(marker)
     playerFollowers[index].DisallowCompanion(true)
     index += 1
   endWhile
   Game.GetPlayer().PlayIdleAction(akIdle)
EndEvent

This should go on the door that leads to the cell.

 

It should work on any companion that is implemented properly. If they are just on a "follow" AI package they wont be affected.

 

Personally I couldn't get this to work so I ended up with a less elegant solution that just repletely moves the current follower outside the cell:

Scriptname LLitCW_FXScript extends ObjectReference

Group Location_Properties
	Location Property MyLocation Auto Const
	GlobalVariable property LLiTCW_FXTimer auto
	ObjectReference Property marker Auto
EndGroup

int FXTimer = 1

Event OnLoad()
	StartTimer(LLiTCW_FXTimer.GetValue(), FXTimer)
EndEvent

Event OnTimer(int aiTimerID)
				;---Temp Stop Companions---
				if (aiTimerID == FXTimer) && Game.GetPlayer().IsInLocation(MyLocation)
				Actor[] playerFollowers = Game.GetPlayerFollowers()
 				 int index = 0
   					while (index < playerFollowers.Length)
  						playerFollowers[index].MoveTo(marker)
     						index += 1
   					endWhile
				StartTimer(LLiTCW_FXTimer.GetValue(), FXTimer)
				Endif
EndEvent
