control of actor movement, command them

Post » Fri Nov 16, 2012 9:45 pm

Hi,

Im planning to make a mod that will allow the player to control movement of actors that are following player. I try to use the same method as in Summon Skeletal Horde (a great mod by the way). In short I apply follow package that forces actor to follow a specific reference (marker) that I can freely move where ever I chose. This works well on creatures summoned by me. I think it will also work well on any/most actors that are currently not following the player. Trouble is it doesnt work on followers/hirelings/bought dogs and what is the most painfull for me it doesnt work on creatures I raised from death. They simply follow me no matter what. I wonder if anyone could help me with this a little bit.

The problem - I think - is that Followers/hirelings (and Dead-Raised) NPCs already have a package that is telling them to follow you (and one to tell them to Wait in Place and a few others ...)

So I think you would have to disable those packages to make what you want work (or at the very least, add your package to the top of the package tree) ... There is tutorials on the wiki about packages and priority ...

It's possible, I guess, but it will break follower functionality, unless you can add back (re-enable) the vanilla packages when you are done.

You are propably right, but the problem is I dont know tha package for undead raised creatures.
