I have an NPC that is designated to follow the player in a certain cell, however whenever I fast travel somewhere, he appears next to them. All I've done is give him the basic "follow" package, and set the target to be the player.
How can I prevent him from following the player when the player fast travels?

set a condition on the follow package that only lets it be active in that cell. once you fast travel out, the package is negated

Tried that (GetnCell '_tw_trial6' == 1) didn't work.

alternatively, you could put in a failsafe as a papyrus fragment in the "on change" or "on end" section

self.moveto(RefMarkerInCell)


this will immediately send the npc back to the cell on a designated reference marker (place an xmarker somewhere in the cell where you want the guy to return, and point to the marker as an objectreference property in the fragment)
