I am currently trying to make my followers wander around in sandbox instead of just standing at the same spot.

The only thing i could find however is this PlayerFollowPackage and its template. According to these, there are
2 modes of the package. First one is following, second one is traveling to the designated waiting area and
standing on the spot. I changed that to sandbox and widened the area....but she still won do sandboxing...


Does anyone have any idea about this ?

Im afraid this is not a AI package, so its not possible to edit in normal means (except scripting, perhaps )

Followers are controlled via Quest's Dialogue. This quest name is: DialogueFollower
This quest has a dialogue script that control the actions of 'any' follower. In your case, to tell the follower to wait, the script simply sets the actor value "WaitingForPlayer" to 1

I wager this 'WaitingForPlayer' is simply some sort of switch idle animation So the follower would just stand there.....

Function FollowerWait()actor FollowerActor = pFollowerAlias.GetActorRef() as ActorFollowerActor.SetAv("WaitingForPlayer", 1);SetObjectiveDisplayed(10, abforce = true);follower will wait 3 dayspFollowerAlias.RegisterForUpdateGameTime(72)EndFunction

One possible way to get the follower to wander around while waiting is via heavy scripting, Im afraid

Actually, there is no scripting neccessary and there is also no idle animation playing
All i needed to do is to choose a different template (FollowPlayer).
There is an option to enable sandboxing while waiting.

So now she is moving around as she is supposed to
By the way, does anyone know why her movements seem rather robotic when she walks ? Its almost like she is being moved by something instead of her own energy.
Is it because i set the energy value to 100 ? Or is it because i enabled wandering ?


One more thing this does : If you dont have any defaultoutfit selected for your companion and you dismiss him/her, he/she will be naked when you return later or restart the game. Now if you put them in that waiting mode, they wont loose their clothing
