Guard Training Help

[theodisca]

Hello all,

I need help with something which I still cannot find the solution. I am quite new to modding Skyrim, but thanks to the many videos and tutorials I managed to create my own worldspace and what started as a learning material is becoming an ambitious project. I set up a new town full of NPCs and patrolling guards and a successful crime faction. I thought I might add some training guards to spice up the barracks a little bit. But I have a problem. The guards don't train very close to the training dummies and they swing their swords in a very wide circle around the dummies (also behind and at the sides of the dummy). The fact that they go in circles doesn't bother me, I like how they go behind the target, what I don't like is how they walk away. I am attaching a few screenshots from the files and game. I hope someone can help me. (Btw sorry for the lighting, I still haven't finished the training room)

First image: The guard is linked to xmarker and keyword is "Training target" the x marker heading is linked to xmarker and the keyword is "training target"

Notes: Linking guards to xmarkerheading doesn't change the situation. When I reduce trigger radius, the guard fail to start the package.

And a little image from Grimhol Hold which will be thankful for your help

Did you try to add like a 1 second wait time between barrages?

 

Im not sure what you mean with you not liking the way they "walk away", but on my own mod I also added practicing npcs, adding that wait time makes him go back to the original marker heading before striking the dummy again.

Though I also suffer from some strange sword play on my npc, sometimes it looks like hes dancing around trying to hit bugs in the air.

Perhaps its because hes using a 2handed sword, dunno.
