Hi all,

I'm trying my hand at modding Skyrim. So far I've managed to create a follower, and even set a couple of specific dialog lines when that person is following me.

What I'd like to do is through the dialog ask that person to go somewhere specific in the world. I've put an XMarker where I want them to go, now I'm stuck trying to figure out how to make them path through the world to get there.

How would I do this and have that character complete some actions, then return to my character?

Thanks

You're going to want to read up on http://www.creationkit.com/Packages, http://www.creationkit.com/Category:Package_Templates, and procedures. Essentially, you do something--it might be setting a variable which begins a procedure within their existing package, or starting a quest with the follower as a reference alias to begin a whole new package stack--to activate a Travel procedure on your follower, and then have another procedure activate when they arrive to do what actions need doing. Depending on how you set things up, you may or may not need another Travel procedure to return them to you; for a follower, if you let them fall back to their normal follower package, they should return to you on their own.

Okay so now I have a travel package set in the quest alias for my actor. I told the package to send him to the xmarker. I set the conditions so that when the quest stage is 10, it should run. Now when I talk to him and request he go to the location, the quest advances to stage 10 properly. But that's it. Nothing else happens. What am I missing/doing wrong?

You may need to use the EvaluatePackage() function on him to get him to realize he needs to stop doing whatever he's doing and switch to the new package.

Bahahaha! It's working! Thank you so much for the help! A few more tweaks and it'll be ready to publish! Thank you!
