Created NPC not appearing in-game

Post » Mon Jun 18, 2012 9:56 pm

Hey guys,

So I went ahead and went through the tutorial for the creation kit (it's been a long time since I've last used it so needed a lot of brushing up!). I created a standard imperial NPC and placed him in my makeshift level. The only problem is - he doesn't appear in-game. I've tried moving him. I've tried renaming him. I've tried just about everything - I can't seem to work out how to get him to actually appear in-game! Pretty much all of the options are their defaults - I haven't changed much at all apart from his appearance.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Are you sure he doesn't have some packages on him that are moving him to a different location?

check to make sure your navmesh is complete and finalized.

NPC's will not travel on any surface that does not have a proper navmesh

Could you please explain how to "finalize" navmesh please?

make his schedule so he stays exactly where you put him all day. Had this problem too, turns out he went on patrol.
