I wrote a few scripts that generated some summons in a custom-made faction that has the player faction as ally. I also set their relationship rank with player as 3, aggression as 1 (attack enemies), confidence as 4 (max), and assist to 2 (helps friends/allies). However, I don't seem to have much luck to have them actually attack. While they do attack sometimes (mostly because enemies targeted them), they are drooling and doing random stuff more often.

I wonder if there's something I also need to change. And by the way, those summons were summoned through a dummy actor, so that can also be part of the problem although it shouldn't be.

Are they actually summoned or placed by PlaceAtMe()? Because actors that are summoned (by marking them as summonable in the CK and using a true summon creature type spell) seem to follow an AI that overrides anything user defined in the CK.

Further: Did you set relevant NPC Factions as enemy? Because I belive that the AI doesn't follow a "the enemy of my friend is my enemy" rule, meaning it possibly doesn't suffice to have the player as a friend.

They are not summonable summons that were not placed using placeatme. I got them to follow my AI packages but not combat priorities.

However, I don't think I should need to set the enemy factions because all the followers just have the player faction as friends and nobody as enemies.
