Modifying horses

Post » Mon Jun 18, 2012 6:34 pm

Hi, I've been trying to make horses essential and not agressive, but there are a couple of problems.

When I choose, for example, the MarkarthPlayerHorse actor, the base data such as "essential" is grayed out.

If I untick "base data" from the template data below it becomes clickable, but doesn't work in-game (many horses killed by an angry giant so far, please think of the horses).

If I tick "base data" again it reverts to the default, grayed out base data.
Same thing with the "cowardly" option in AI data.

I have no idea what to do about this, and would appreciate any help.

Do your changes on the actors which names start with "enc". These are the templates or base data.

Thanks! I guess that's what it says in the "actor base" and I had the dumb.
Anyway, the damn horse still attacks everything like a maniac, and it seems that I also need a way to make them follow me on foot or else it's gonna end badly.

I didn't know about that, but I want to learn about this stuff myself. There's a big mod taking shape in my head, every little bit helps.

Edit: Did it, changed playerhorsefaction relationship with playerfaction to neutral, then set all the enchorsesaddle* actors to essencial and their ai to cowardly.
Now to somehow make the thing come to you when out of combat, or follow you around on foot out of combat...

You need to go to the AI Data tab, and change aggression/confidence/assistance settings

I did, it only worked after I changed the faction relationship too
