Do you know about PACKAGES on Actors?

If you have a travel package for an Actor, you can tick whether or not he should make that journey using a horse.

If the journey is short, the Actor will probably walk - even if it does own a horse - but for longer journeys it will use a horse (if it is available)

how can I do to make what is described here but for a Patrol? Like a guard patrolling around a city?

The horse need to have the same package destination as the rider (better if it's the same package, as if one of them stops or tries to go another way for a moment they'll stop and won't continue traveling) OR a following package with the rider as destination.

It's easy to setup ... but not easy to get the "guard" to actually and reliably ride horse while on patrol

http://www.creationkit.com/Patrol_%28Procedure%29

So just setup a basic, normal patrol ... and make sure "Use Horse If Possible" is checked

Then:
  • IF the NPC has access to a horse nearby
  • IF the distance to the next patrol point is "far enough" (no one seems to know how far, far enough is!)
They will ride the patrol, instead of walking it.


I have got this to work ... I just needed to have a large enough distance in between the patrol points

(best of luck :smile:)

this is untested, but i'm about to try quite the same (have an npc ride), and before reading this, the approach i was about to try was to have him find horses with a find-procedure and then have him acquire one (i'm actually trying to let my npc steal the player's horse (if present)), or maybe just have him activate-procedure one, mounting them should be the standard activation for horses after all...?
happy about your above plan b anyhow, just in case :-)
