How would I make NPCS wander around together?

[despacito43]

I'm still a beginner at the GECK, how would I make a package so the npcs can wander around but in squads? Thanks in advance!

You need to pick a leader of some sort, then give the other NPCs follow packages so that they follow the leader NPC.

 

If the leader can end up being killed, you might need to get a little fancier with the packages and have them check to make sure he's still alive, otherwise have them run a different package. If there's only one package and the leader dies, the rest of the squad will stay next to his corpse. Then again, maybe you want that.

You could set the "Location" in the sandbox package to one NPC then as that one NPC moves around the room the others will sandbox within a range of that specified NPC. But if you are simply wanting them to sandbox in the same area just set the location to "Near Editor Location" and they'll stay within the relative area you put them in the GECK anyways.

Thanks everyone! I have no idea how i would add the death package so i just went with adding an accompany package to the others

Use an "OnDeath" block, and within that just add the package as normal to the "next" leader and then use the "EVP" command so it gets immediately processed.
