I would like to have the NPC to not become a follower until a certain stage has been met. I made a guess at the quest stage papyrus... (unsuccessfully)

Alias_Name.GetReference().AddToFaction(CurrentFollowerFaction(-1))

Anyone know how to do this correctly? And thanks for reading!

Actor Follower = Alias_Name.GetActorRef()Follower.AddToFaction(PotentialFollowerFaction))Follower.SetRelationshipRank(Game.GetPlayer(), 1)

Thanks! I'll give it a shot.

Thanks for the help again. I did run into a couple issues. When I put your post in, the compile mentioned ")" so I tried to both remove it then add some definition.

.................................................................
Actor Follower = Alias_Nonel.GetActorRef()
Follower.AddToFaction(PotentialFollowerFaction())
Follower.SetRelationshipRank(Game.GetPlayer(), 1)

compile-->required (...)+ loop did not match anything at input ')'

Actor Follower = Alias_Nonel.GetActorRef()
Follower.AddToFaction(PotentialFollowerFaction)
Follower.SetRelationshipRank(Game.GetPlayer(), 1)

compile -->"PotentialFollowerFaction is undefined"


Actor Follower = Alias_Nonel.GetActorRef()
Follower.AddToFaction(PotentialFollowerFaction())
Follower.SetRelationshipRank(Game.GetPlayer(), 1)


compile -->"PotentialFollowerFaction is not a function or does not exist"

Why does PotentialFollowerFaction not exist?

You need to define it as a faction property before your script can use it.

Interesting. I definitely need to learn more about that. Is that done by clicking the "properties" on the lower right of the papyrus window and doing a few things in there?

Yes. "Properties" then "add property".

Alrighty I defined potentialfollowerfaction as a faction in the add propertyand still got the same "PotentialFollowerFaction is not a function or does not exist." Was there an initial value or script I needed to add there? Or is there a property auto after it? I've been mulling over the www.creationkit.com declaring and auto properties infos, but I think I'll have to take a look at it tomorrow when I'm more awake. And gotta say yet again, thanks for the responses PrinceShroob, you've been helpful.

Are you absolutely certain that you've set it as a faction property called "PotentialFollowerFaction"?

Does the alias exist?

I think you got it right there. Not sure how to go about a faction alias, ha ha, but I'll take a look here.

No, no; actor alias. The aliases tab.

Make a unique actor fill type alias and choose your follower to fill it.

Yeah, the unique actor alias exists.

I probably have some very simple oversight. Here's my complete papyrus fragment on that quest stage


SetObjectiveDisplayed(10)
Alias_bandit.GetReference().Enable()
Actor Follower = Alias_Nonel.GetActorRef()
Follower.AddToFaction(PotentialFollowerFaction())
Follower.SetRelationshipRank(Game.GetPlayer(), 1)

No "()" after "PotentialFollowerFaction".

Fantastic! Yup that was it. Works beautifully. Thanks again!
