If you open your eyes you may notice the annotation slapped across the screen. I re-created this tutorial as my first was not the greatest. I can accept constructive feedback but you have just mouthed off like a child.I create my RU-vid content free of charge and a lot of time and effort goes into them. Trolls like you don't deserve the RU-vid service at your fingertips.
Not sure what your issue is, the dialogue should not change anything as it's seperate from the NPC stats, check over your fox's stats and data and be sure you don't have Essential ticked on the Traits tab.
This video really helped me with a project. I created a better Familiar. I wanted a strong wolf to summon. I created a Dire Wolf based on the encWolf summon. Your video allowed me to make it a lot better. With its own Race I was able to give it some elemental resistances as a racial trait. I made him larger than the average wolf and gave him a unique name "Frostbite" which fits his ghostly visuals from being a summoned Familiar. I may tinker with the spell that gives it the ghost effect to make it stand out a bit more. I'd also like to give it a Frost Cloak damage affect but I'm concerned about Friendly Fire on NPCs if he happens to around any. I'll work that out first. Thanks for the great series of tutorials. I recommended the one about merchant voices to the fellow that does the JK town/village mods. He has an blacksmith NPC that has no voice. He choose the wrong voice type. Don't know if he will read the post or will alter it but your video should help if he does want to build better merchants into his otherwise terrific mods.
I can't even talk to my sabre cat or wolf, they just walk around Riverwood and look at me when I stop to stare at them and wish I could have them follow me. *sighs sadly* unfortunately I can't for some reason and I've followed every step correctly....
I wonder if you can set his Aggro to WARN you but the other 2 warn/attack and attack to like 99999 or whatever... then he can warn you when danger is near by growling.
I copy and pasted the line "(pDialogueFollower as DialogueFollowerScript).DismissAnimal()" in the papyrus fragment for the first dialogue section and i get the following error Starting 1 compile threads for 1 files... Compiling "Tezzdis"... c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\Tezzdis.psc(9,1): variable pDialogueFollower is undefined c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\Tezzdis.psc(9,19): cannot cast a none to a dialoguefollowerscript, types are incompatible No output generated for Tezzdis, compilation failed. Batch compile of 1 files finished. 0 succeeded, 1 failed. Failed on Tezzdis any idea where exactly I went wrong with that?
Not sure if you ever solved this one, but I ran into the same issue and did the following: 1) Copied (pDialogueFollower as DialogueFollowerScript).DismissAnimal() into the papyrus fragment tab and then compiled it and let it fail. 2) Edited the script that was generated and copied in the following: ;BEGIN FRAGMENT CODE - Do not edit anything between this and the end comment ;NEXT FRAGMENT INDEX 7 Scriptname IsabelleDismiss Extends TopicInfo Hidden ;BEGIN FRAGMENT Fragment_6 Function Fragment_6(ObjectReference akSpeakerRef) Actor akSpeaker = akSpeakerRef as Actor ;BEGIN CODE (pDialogueFollower as DialogueFollowerScript).DismissAnimal() ;END CODE EndFunction ;END FRAGMENT ;END FRAGMENT CODE - Do not edit anything between this and the begin comment Quest Property pDialogueFollower Auto ************* 3) Set the property of pDialogueFollower to DialogueFollower 4) No compile errors I renamed the script to match my FrostSpider's name Isabelle.
Out of over 1500 people there are only a few which come back saying that is does not work. There are a number of reasons why things may not work and I have shown you in the video, myself creating the mod and it working, so if it does not work on yours then you have done something wrong or something else is causing the problem. It is easy to slip up even when you are sure it is correct.
I have seen people attempt to create dragon conjurables and they have trouble with the lack of areas for the dragon to land. They tend to not understand how to follow you around too much and it would be difficult to get them to stop following if they are in the air. Dragon's are just not designed to be followers in any way so your better off just using the shouts throughout the game to have them as assistance.
1. Your follower will go straight home after dismissal, if they do not it is usually a navmesh issue as they don't know how to go home. 2. The dialogue on mine seems to work, all you do is copy the dog follower scripts and make the adjustments, the kit isn't perfect and has many glitches. 3. When you try to use the base follower skins the npc ends up being invisible and you also need to do this because of the minor changes you need to make to have the follower script compatible.
Thank you, if your interested I'm going to be creating an advanced version of this tutorial later on today. It will involve adding most follower dialogue options along with the basics. I appreciate the feedback.
A number of people have been reporting issues when creating their Animal Follower scripts, the one common issue is with having the wait option showing before the follow command so you say wait and then the follow command should be there. The only other issue is usually having missed out some script or your Creation Kit is being its usual self. Past that I can't help too much.
The animal followers is a confusing tutorial due to having to change script, this tutorial is a little more advanced than using the Creation Kit for most other general things. Just follow the tutorial carefully and you will be fine. Good to start with the simple stuff first though. 8D
No problem, this Creation Kit seems to get worse everytime you load the thing up. Apologies if I appear a little on edge. Some of the trolls you can receive on the Internet annoy you and sometimes writing does not convey words how you want.
Google it or use the pause button and take it a step at a time. Stick to the basics with the kit first if your not too familiar with everything. Making an animal follower can be a confusing process but if you just go through slowly you should be fine.
This tends to be a slight issue I have also noticed, if you select dismiss the follow option should then appear, not too sure why this is. Another idea may be to take a look at the script used in Dawnguard as that includes animal followers.
Not too sure, I have not messed with getting the inventory to work as this requires much more scripting work and I do not have much scripting knowledge, taking and editing script from the game and creating new script is a little different.
You must have slipped up somewhere or have a problem with your kit, I can't help with the problem when I can't see what's happening. You will have to seek some help from the Skyrim Forums or Creation Kit Wiki and see if there are any addition tips on there.
Your kit is either glitched or something is wrong with the mod, or you have mistyped something, you will have to just double check it. I don't fully understand the scripting myself, all you do is edit the dog follower script to fit your follower.
Not too sure, as long as you use the script from the dogfollower script and change the script accordingly there shouldn't be any problem, it's usually if you have missed something, other than that I'm unsure why it wouldn't work.
It should be yes, you just change the sabre cat to a Spriggan and duplicate and edit the Spriggan skins instead of the sabre cat's. Also be sure not to put growl as the dialogue in the response text or it most likely won't sound how it should.
I will be looking to do some modders resource stuff and I am currently thinking about the "Join Nexus" situation but my priority for the next few days is just getting a few of my new mods up and running.
Sometimes you will end up with guard dialogue in there which is normal. As long as you have the other dialogue in there you should be ok. If you don't have it all there then you have one something wrong.
No, I'm afraid not. All I have done is copy the dog follower script which does not include it, I'm sure theres a way of editing script from other followers though to work with animals.
This tutorial was wonderful. I credited you as help when I made my horker follower mod and put it on Nexus. Couldn't have done it without this tutorial. Thanks for the great tips and downloadable copy of the papyrus scripts. Made my day when I found this.
I followed this tutorial to do what I feel needs to be done, but I’m not going to be releasing my mod. Anyone who is familiar with “Badly Translated Skyrim” will know the real High King of Skyrim is a cave bear named “The King of Rice”. Haven’t tested it yet, but I plan to have him use the MaleOrc voice.
AWW YEAH! worked with a dwarven sphere. i made an ironman mod with ironman armor, stark's lab and one kick ass dwarven sphere follower named "jarvis". uploading to steam right away. i am so surprised and happy that it all worked.
i did everything u said dude and i even turned his aggro to unagressive and he keeps attacking me and everyone i turned off his agrro ratio or thingy to he just keeps attacking me i dont get it please someone help
Having trouble. I've been searching for what to do about this: Starting 1 compile threads for 1 files... Compiling "EbonyDismiss"...

If you're able to let me know, that will be greatly appreciated. :) Thank you for your videos. Hopefully I can make an animal follower one day.

good side: I got it to finally work, ran into him in Riverwood and he started following me. Didn't have to talk to him. crazy side: I made him small enuff so I can walk around him thru doors, (he got huge inside the Luxury Suite (beefcake) mod) then went back to his normal size afterwards sad side: dialogue options don't show up. but am happy that he does follow and fight with me, just the no dialogue & going back 2 reg size prob have wolf, but he jst walks arnd Riverwood. no follow or dialogue.
When I'm at about 13:00, I copy that piece of your script in to that papyrus fragment and when I press compile it gives me a window named Papyrus Errors with some text like C:\Users\Janne\Desktop\Pelit\The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\TIF__01000D67.psc(9,1): variable pDialogueFollower is undefined C:\Users\Janne\Desktop\Pelit\The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\TIF__01000D67.psc(9,19): cannot cast a none to a dialoguefollowerscript, types are incompatible Help?
I'm trying to make an animal follower that should be able to pick up items, i added the dialogue and scripting for different actions one action at the time. I got it to work to the point were i was able to ask my follower to do something or to wait at the pointed location. After that i tried to make it so i was able to open it's inventory/empty the inventory to mine, but now i'm unable to even open a dialogue. Any help/advice?
1. I found out that i had set DefaultSandboxCurrentLocationXX as AI Package, that was what made it stay in place, i sqitched it with ...EditorLocationXX and it worked. 2. I found that it isnt the dialogue options that aren't functioning as intended. It is actually that the animal is set to follow the moment i talk to it. I saw you delete soemthign from the dog script but i must have missed something else. 3. I see, thanks.
A great tutorial. I do have a few questions. 1. Is it normal that the follower will just wait in place if you dismiss it? (it displays the "your dog is heading home" message at the top of the screen but the follower just stays put) 2. have you figured out how to fix the dialogue (that it actually gives you the follow option when the follower is not following)? 3. are the follower skin and model necessary, cant you just prompt the follower race to use the base race's default?
Hello! I was just wondering if you have a sollution for my problem. I try to follow your tutorial and do everything you say, but when i test the mod out, the animal does not work to talk to, the (E)talk does not show up. But he still follows me, but i really wan't to tell him when to stay or follow. Thanks man, BTW nice tutorial!
Alright! had to go through the video and make sure everything matched before it worked, but I got it working. (my creature had a skin set under the traits tab and made it impossible to talk to him somehow) Now I'm off to learn how to have it cast spells, thanks for the tutorial!
So far, i saw that the dog follower had a "remove all items" script on him in the open inventory tab so i tried that. Have not yet tried the usual follower open inventory script but will try it in like 20 min. Editing one of these two scripts should do the trick i think.
OK so ive followed your step im pretty sure exactly and the dialogue does not appear within my follower. Instead I have some weird riften dialogue script in there your help is much appreciated im just wondering is there something messed up with my kit or have a made an error some wheres ??
Can't get mine to work. Did what you say in your tutorial, and added the script, but must be missing something. I go in-game and have the option to talk to my pet but nothing happens, no dialog, just the button. Can you help, please...
I believe I my have seen the tutorial that you used to figure this out, and I have been able to get the follow and wait commands to work, but dismiss simply doesn't. I've copied your text to the letter. Do you know why this could be?
when i start and load into my skyrim save my ingame turns completely black, then after around 20-30 seconds the game crashes, is this due to the script being able to be used on a previous patch? Please respond :P
Nice Tutorial, but I got a problem. I cant talk to my follower and in CK in the actor window the dialogue doesnt appear. I´ve already checked everything I have no idea what could be the issue. Would be awesome if you could help.
If you are interested in this, I managed to get it working with the follower open inventory script. And the dialogue seemed to be a bug that disables mod dialogue or something(internet searching).
My race window is too big and won't let me make it smaller,making it amazingly hard to click any buttons, even when I move my toolbar to the side. Is there a way to resize it?
ok i have search a lot of video and i can not find a video on how to add a room to a existing house. or even one that shows some one building a castle or village from scratch.
Aright well thank you yeah ive tried to eliminate the slip up by creating several followers and things but each time the riften dialogue appears in my followers dialogue
for my error it says that it could not write a temporary source so therefor it wont let me edit the source (ive copyed you exctly) please someone help me?
@DARKF0X127 ok thanks anyway I wasn't saying that the video is wrong and it doesn't work I was just wondering why it wouldn't work for me but thanks anyway.
Making a new shout is easy enough but your going to have to dig deep into game options to get the amount of animal followers you want and I'm unsure as to how it's done, also consider that having too many NPC's in one place at any given time could bring up performance issues depending on a persons PC specifications. There is a menu in the Kit for changing game options in terms of maximum summonables for example.
Great tutorial, just one question. I don't have any problem, and my pet is working as expected. But i'm just wondering if it's possible to make an animal follower that doesn't engage in combat unless it itself is attacked, or not at all? I don't want it to charge the enemies as soon as i put an arrow in one of them.
The only way I can think that you can do this is by setting the option for Assistance in the AI Data to give no assistance but this still may not work as it's part of a followers job to assist in battle. You could also try setting them as cowardly so they run away from battle rather than help out.
That's a strange one, usually they won't follow at all if that happens. It's very easy to miss something or have something not work the first time. When this happens to myself I usually find it's something to do with the armour and skins not setup correctly.
Just want to say why I like your tutorials over most others. Most people stammer and go down the rabbit hole instead of just moving along and sticking to the point like you do. Kudos and thanks for these tut's without the gayness :P
Thanks, I have only created Bodger in the video for the tutorial, I don't post anything up on the Nexus as I only use the Steam Workshop. I have a Sabrecat called Bodger on my Merchants Pack mod however.
The reason people don't really show a tutorial as specific as that is due to the fact that each type of area has it's own pieces which you have to figure out how each connects together, it's like having a hundred different jigsaw puzzles. From knowing the basics you then have to just choose a type of area to create and then figure out what fits with what. As for just adding a room to an existing house you just need to look at the existing pieces and find them in the drop down lists and build.
I can't really help too much I'm afraid, you just have to be sure you have the scripts how they should be and double check everything else, the creation kit is full of problems and dialogue is one of them. Many people are having these issues since Patch 1.6.
Do you know where I can get the scripts for followers instead of the animal ones you provide here? I had to make a custom race for my draughr guards and the animal ones dont work :(
I am also having problems with the Dismiss setup. When I try to save it says compilation failed. I have followed this video to the letter and don't know what could be going wrong.
Thanks for the feedback, glad it helped. Many people just don't follow the instructions carefully enough and then want to blame me for their errors lol. It can be a pain but once you get the hang of it, it's not too bad.
I know what I meant lol. Difficult to remember all this stuff when I'm not exactly getting paid to do any of it and it's a side hobby. The longer route around it is creating your own scripts which is too much hassle to be honest.
There are mods for allowing multiple followers so I imagine that there is a way to do the same for animals but I have not bothered with finding out how.
Yes you can find the AnimalFollowerMessage and just change it to something like "Your companion heads home". It will change it for the dogs too but it's more generalized for everything.
