How to make NPC's shoot arrows ?

Post » Tue Jun 19, 2012 2:04 pm

Well.. i downloaded a House mod, and then i decided to change a few things... first thing was adding a Tanning Rack, Sharpening Wheel and a Chopping Block.
Then i decided to create a follower that it's actually my Character's cousin that live in the house with me. I put AI Packages on him and made one, that makes him patrol outside, chooping wood, using the tanning rack, the sharpening wheel and sitting in a chair, etc...

But i also placed 4 practice dummies for two reasons:
1- For me to practice my accuracy (since my character is a Ranger kinda thief. Kinda like Robin Hood.)
2- For my new NPC to shoot it too, when running the AI Package.

But i don't know how and what thing i should use to make him shoot it. Yes, it is possible to make NPC's shoot dummies, because in the Ragged Flagoon you can see a Thief shooting arrows at a practice dummy.. Question is: How to do that ?

Can someone help here, i would be much appreciated.

Start by checking out the scripts and AI packages on the specific thief. If he does what you would want your guy to do you could nearly copy those.

For the rest I can't help you atm, no CK on this comp and I'm not good enough to find out such stuff on short notice :D

I don't think the dummies are activators, so they might not get the AI to use them on their own.. So what you probably need to do is look in the Idle Markers category and see if there are any idle markers for making npc's do the archery animation. You might also look at outdoor fortress cell in Solitude, where I remember seeing NPC's using targets for archery practice. See if they have blue idle markers (they're square with an I in the middle, and also a small arrow setting the direction of the animation).
