Hey! After encountering a problem with Alicia Paincensor, I realize that I need to make a mod for myself. Just have to question to see if this would be a waste of time.

So, when I send Alicia Paincensor home and talk to her again, she cannot follow anymore. My hypothetical solution for this specific problem for that and other mods is a shout that adds a follow package. Off the top of my head that would be

spell gets the reference, if needed, of the actor only if humanoid
addpackage reference myfollowpackage
set myflag to 1

So it would actually be a toggle shout depending on myflag to add the follow package or remove it.

My question: Could this simple thing actually make a humanoid actor a follower? I think addpackage puts whatever package in priority. But what happens when they go into combat, and then the combat ends? The follow package is removed, or stays in effect? Or do they never go into combat, just keep following?
