I've made a bunch of follower mods, and one complaint that I constantly get is that they lolligag. They stay really far behind, and follow relatively slowly. I was wondering if there is an easy fix for this, as in Torment this causes several dialogues to be stilted and awkward.

do you want all of them to follow closely? or are you trying to do this with a dialogue command?


if the former you just need to edit the package. there is a min radius etc that determines how far away they will be before they have to hurry up to catch up to you.


if the latter, you need to make multiple versions of this package with different min radii (wtf is the plural for radius)

then use some kind of boolean system to switch between aliases (each alias has a package with different raduis settings)



but this is easier said than done. i tried doing a dialogue command for switch to melee/bow and i almost jumped out my window

How does the "energy" variable play into this? Does it make them move/react faster?

As it turns out, this wasn't a huge deal. In order to get them to ForceGreet faster, you can flag Preferred Speed as Run. Thanks for the Min radius tip though!

Got it in one; it's radii http://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?hl=en&q=radii&btnG=Search&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_ylo=&as_vis=0. Some of the plurals on words with Latin roots can be very unexpected. Virus and Virii, for example. Although, in the case of "viruses" (and a lot of English speakers are unaware of this), the Latin plural is still accepted alongside the Americanization in academic publishing with http://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?q=virii&hl=en&btnG=Search&as_sdt=1%2C5 and http://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?hl=en&q=viruses&btnG=Search&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_ylo=&as_vis=0. No wonder it's so confusing. Interestingly, academic publishing has http://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?hl=en&q=radiuses&btnG=Search&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_ylo=&as_vis=0, so evidently the English "language" or, rather, dialect, is continuing to evolve in the inconsistent and illogical way that is world famous for its potential to drive any rational person insane.
