I still having trouble finding what I do need to work on my mod.. . This mod just have NPCs goes to inn to inn and they are stores (well some of them anyways) How do I make the NPCs (actor) do things and walk around in big wonderfully of skyrim? I have read the starter guild, but it does not seem to answer these questions. Sorry, I am lost and a little confuse in how to do just that Tanks for help.

I'd take a look at AI Packages. I'd take a look at the http://www.creationkit.com/Video_Tutorials page, starting with:

Being new, I'd highly suggest these tutorials as a great resource!

Thinks for the tip, I done the tutorials, but but I didn't see the answer to my questions -- sorry for the dumb questions...

after a few hours of reading, watching videos, asking really dumb questions -- my khajiit npc is coming to live at last :biggrin:

I have another question ... How I find out the cell name in CK? I want the area just outside the nightshade inn, I can find the indoors name of it, but how do I figure out the outdoor cell name?

Congrats! Getting started is always the hardest!

You find the cell name the same way, but you probably need to change the World Space to: Tamriel. Those are the exterior cells.

Can I ask how you managed to get the npc to go from one place to another and back mate?

Have you seen this tutorial? http://www.creationkit.com/Bethesda_Tutorial_Packages

There are a few different ways you could do it - depending if you want it to loop or ping pong. I think I saw a video on this tutorial also.

I watched a video tutorial the other day, and I think it's basically use a travel package to set where to go (then choose when etc). Then I'm not sure if you need another travel package to go to the home location, or if there's a "return home" package itself to make it simplified.

I have not master it yet, the travel package only seen to work outside ... my npc inside the inn, never leaves, but when she is outside, the travel package works .. still have not figure out that bug yet .. The travel package I used is some like this

travel to cell name
stay for x amount of secs
travel to cell name
stay for x amount of secs
repeat like 7 times total
eat = true / false
sleep = true false
etc

how does the knows when go to the next package?
in my case, the package is "stay at a inn for x hours"

i have a longer way to go to fully understand the packages and flow there of

Thanks, at she seems to be more alive, but I have poke her some more :poke:

I seen the master list of world space cells, but what is the naming scheme for places in the wild -- like hunter camps, ritual stones, etc?

It's all done by conditions. This actually allows for a lot of flexibility. Plus your package can have a time schedule.

They can be named anything Beth wanted. Usually if they put something in the cell, they would name it appropriately, otherwise they just Wilderness (x,y).

This is the link I meant to give you before: http://www.creationkit.com/Bethesda_Tutorial_Encounters

Where it talks about Ping Pong patrols or Looping. You could do this in several different ways. Add the start location in the linked ref chain, have a procedure at the end to go back home or start a new package that goes to the home location. Depends on the big picture really.
