In bethesda's "tutorial 6 Basic Encounter" they show how to make a pre-made npc patrol and use idle markers, but how do i make custom npcs do the same? In the tutorial when they drag the npc to the reference screen it shows a green marker, then you can put idle markers down and set a patrol. When i drag my custom npcs to the reference window it just shows them, no green marker like in the tutorial....any tips? Anything would be helpful, THANKS!

The green marker simply means it's a leveled character. When the player enters the cell, it picks an NPC from a list based on various circum stances. Your NPC is not leveled. They will be exactly the same no matter what. The reference you place in your cell works the exact same way with patrols. Just link it to the idle marker, and set up a chain for them to patrol on.

Thanks for the help....read a lot of good things about you AV, keep it up!
