Post » Mon Jun 18, 2012 11:46 pm

The purpose of this thread is for players and modders to help the newbies with tips and where to go guide. I will update this with responses and as i find things.



First I'd like to post a video that i found which starts off with a basic follower that really has no purpose other than following you.

Questions!!

1.Where do I start? Should i start with a premade npc/actor or start from scratch? and which way is best if i want custom dialogue?

2.Can i make multiple followers? Or make a npc follow another follower

Sure it's possible, just like you can set a package on a npc to make it follow you, you can put a package on a npc to make it follow another npc.

Some tips from when I made my follower mod: Create a follow package for the npc that let's him follow you (or the other brother). Put a condition on the package that only makes it active when you are in stage X of a custom made quest. Create a custom made quest. Create dialogue for the quest in such a way that when you tell him to follow you (or the other npc), that stage X gets activated. As a result the follow package will get activated on the followers. You can do this for multple packages.

3.How do i make a follower only follow me for a quest or after a quest is finished?


If you have more questions, or general tips, or anything post it, i'll try to update!!!!
