It's so sad that I've set up keyboard macros on my gaming keyboard for teleporting each companion to me via console.

They are constantly getting lost/separated/stuck, etc. Now, I am not the kind of player that this is a serious problem, since it is easily fixed. However, recently E-de has completely vanished. I've tried the prids for all three versions of him, even though I'm using the brotherhood upgrade version. When I teleport myself to E-de, I get placed near the Gun Runners, which is where I had last told him to wait (before I left the area, I did tell him to follow again). Now, I use E-de as essentially a mobile vending machine where I store all of my delicious snacks. We're talking about a lot of prepared meals including Wasteland Omelets. Anyhow, that is a diversion. When my character got hungry about 20 minutes later and I reached for a snack to discover E-de missing, I hit my 'summon e-de' button, macro'd to:

~prid 1732cf
moveto player

Nothing happens. I try again, typing it manually. Again, nothing. I try all prid's associated with E-de. Nothing. I try resurrecting E-de. Nothing. When I player.moveto 1732cf, I get sent to gunrunners. The only people present are myself, Arcade, Vendortron, and a gunrunner guard. Only four locations are 'tagged' as having npcs on the compas. Cycling through everything near in vats shows nothing different.

What the [censored].
I want my robot back.
E-de, my love, come back to me. Anyone have any ideas on how to locate him or respawn him?

Is there a console command to initiate dialogue with an entity targeted with prid? Maybe telling him to get back to the 38 would work. He's probably stuck in geometry somewhere, like I've seen happen to wildlife (and myself once).

Moving yourself to the follower is a very good way to begin working through this. You are standing where the world thinks it is, despite the fact its broken badly. Your character being in that room makes things work a little differently.

Try a quick "wait" while you are in that gunrunners cell and see if he pops up. Try your various commands while you are where it is supposed to be.

Shouldn't type this late.

Also lost ED-D, have tried teleport myself to him but cant find him when i get there. My other companion teleports auto to me when he get stuck and i rum away. Why not ED-D?
I have unlocked 2 recordings but not the unlocked the next step in the questline.

How do i find it?

Can you initiate dialogue on a prid target with another command? Or how would I teleport E-de to a specific location (say, the Pres. Suite in the 38)?

"Him"? Surely you mean "her"..... :glare:

Anyone?

Tried waiting after porting to 1732cf's loc. Nothing doing.

[censored] this game. Should have known that Gamebryo + Obsidian was a recipe for massive failure. I'm at a point in the game now where half my quests are bugged out, an NPC has spontaneously disappeared and cannot even be found via cheats, I frequently get stuck in geometry especially around the cliffs West of Vegas, and am basically a seethjing pile of frustration.

wtf.. theres a teleport to companion button? which one is it? x.x i always just use wait till they show up.. and sometimes they never do

Well, the explanation is a little more complicated than that. There's no "teleport companion to you" button by default. I use a gaming keyboard that has a macro keypad, which allows me to bind a series of keypresses into one custom button.

So right now, because the companion bugs are so terrible, I have a button macro'd to do the following:

~
prid 1732cf
moveto player

This one accesses the console and summons E-de to me. You can do this yourself by manually typing the above. To summon a different companion, you just change the numbers after prid. If you don't know something's refid, you can usually look it up at the fallout wikia page.

To summon yourself to a companion you type:

~
player.moveto 1732cf

This will move you to Ed-e's location, change the numbers to use a different target.

Have you tried "prid 1732cf" and then "enable" (after moving to ED of course)?

Ok got ED-E back but as a different entity. Didnt have my inventory stored anymore so i choose to send it back to the 38... Now i lost the perk and i can recruit the robot again.
But how do i know its still my weapon upgraded ED-E? Different model/colours? can i check prid?
