Hello, im posting this because i cant seem to do it alone.

Im trying to make a change, that will make Duncan follow you walking when the player walks. He walks in all occassions except when he follows you he is running only. This is in the mages tower where i am.
I have been trying to find where Duncans behavior is set, but had no success yet.

Things i discovered so far:

There is functions in the scripts called "Setpartyfollower" and "SetNonpartyfollower".

I have found a script called "party_h" in the Palette Window Area under "Scripts,_Core_Includes" where something is written about Partyfollowers. It sais "WR_SetFollowerState(oFollower, FOLLOWER_STATE_LOCKEDACTIVE)". However i cannot change this script because it is read only. I can change none in fact, i think.

By "Characters" in the Palette Window Area, are only Monsters, but no Duncan.

I tried loading the mage tower map, i think i just accidently found it.  Its Area Layout "lak503d" ,not sure if its the 2nd floor, but im gonna check now.

To edit the resources you get when you install the toolset you need to right click on the file you want to edit and choose the "Check Out" option. Once you're done making your changes, save the file then right click and select the "Check In" option. The database that the developers used was located on the BioWare intranet and was edited in a similar manner to source control systems such as Subversion. You'll need to do the "Check Out/In" process for anything you create on your own as well.

Edit: There was another topic created a while ago about getting party members to walk when your character did as well but, last I checked, there wasn't a way to get it to work.

Hm i thought i can load the Map, and thus get to find the NPC, and thus find out what drives it, but the area layout in question is empty of all NPC's.

I tried to place a NPC like Duncan, but i can only do New Resource / Character, and this seems to make a entirely new one. And like i said, the Character Palette only has monsters.



What else can come in question to change NPC behaviour?

I am gona see what i can find out about Triggers, i heard they can make NPC's do something like walking somewhere.

Oh cool thanks, i am gona look. Yep i have seen it too, but it seemed nobody tried.

It works i can edit the Scripts now. I have found something.

CommandMoveToLocation(lLoc, TRUE); means running
CommandMoveToLocation(lLoc, FALSE); means walking i think
IsStealthy(oMainControlled) means check if the player is on stealth or so? Makes the followers stop
??????(oMainControlled) i dont know how the checks if player is on walk mode

Now if one can check for walking, and add a walk command, would this work?
In this script called "ai_main_h_2" is this:

command _AI_MoveToControlled(int nLastCommandStatus)
{
    command cTacticCommand;
    object oMainControlled = GetMainControlled();
    location lLoc = GetFollowerWouldBeLocation(OBJECT_SELF);
    float fDistance = GetDistanceBetween(OBJECT_SELF, oMainControlled);
    // NOTE: there used to be a distance check but I removed it since it cause followers to linger behind
    // when combat starts
    // yaron nov 28, 2008
    //-----
    // NOTE II: putting the distance check back, now with a very short distance
    // Without a distance check the move commands are eveluated constantly, flooding the AI.
    // This is just to slow it down a bit
    // yaron dec 8, 2008
    if(!IsStealthy(oMainControlled) && nLastCommandStatus == COMMAND_SUCCESSFUL && fDistance > AI_RANGE_SHORT)
    {
        if(AI_BehaviorCheck_AvoidNearbyEnemies())
        {
              // move to player only if no enemies nearby
              object []arEnemies = GetNearestObjectByHostility(oMainControlled, TRUE, OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, 1);
            fDistance = GetDistanceBetween(oMainControlled, arEnemies[0]);
            if(fDistance <= AI_RANGE_SHORT)
                cTacticCommand = _AI_DoNothing(-1, nLastCommandStatus, FALSE, TRUE);
            else
                cTacticCommand = CommandMoveToLocation(lLoc, TRUE);
        }
        else
            cTacticCommand = CommandMoveToLocation(lLoc, TRUE);
    }
    else
        cTacticCommand = _AI_DoNothing(-1, nLastCommandStatus, FALSE, TRUE);

    return cTacticCommand;
}

Can someone with programming experience look over this? Does it make sense?
I added a check ,that the Follower Runs at medium Distance, and Walks at close Distance, 2 times for both conditions there.
I dont know what Distance this is, but i didnt find out how to check for walking lol..

command _AI_MoveToControlled(int nLastCommandStatus)
{
    command cTacticCommand;
    object oMainControlled = GetMainControlled();
    location lLoc = GetFollowerWouldBeLocation(OBJECT_SELF);
    float fDistance = GetDistanceBetween(OBJECT_SELF, oMainControlled);
    // NOTE: there used to be a distance check but I removed it since it cause followers to linger behind
    // when combat starts
    // yaron nov 28, 2008
    //-----
    // NOTE II: putting the distance check back, now with a very short distance
    // Without a distance check the move commands are eveluated constantly, flooding the AI.
    // This is just to slow it down a bit
    // yaron dec 8, 2008
    if(!IsStealthy(oMainControlled) && nLastCommandStatus == COMMAND_SUCCESSFUL && fDistance > AI_RANGE_SHORT)
    {
        if(AI_BehaviorCheck_AvoidNearbyEnemies())
        {
            // move to player only if no enemies nearby
            object []arEnemies = GetNearestObjectByHostility(oMainControlled, TRUE, OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, 1);
            fDistance = GetDistanceBetween(oMainControlled, arEnemies[0]);
            if(fDistance <= AI_RANGE_SHORT)
                cTacticCommand = _AI_DoNothing(-1, nLastCommandStatus, FALSE, TRUE);
            else                  
                if(fDistance > AI_RANGE_MEDIUM)
                    cTacticCommand = CommandMoveToLocation(lLoc, TRUE);
                else
                    cTacticCommand = CommandMoveToLocation(lLoc, FALSE);
        }
        else
            if(fDistance > AI_RANGE_MEDIUM)
                cTacticCommand = CommandMoveToLocation(lLoc, TRUE);
            else
                cTacticCommand = CommandMoveToLocation(lLoc, FALSE);
    }
    else
        cTacticCommand = _AI_DoNothing(-1, nLastCommandStatus, FALSE, TRUE);

    return cTacticCommand;
}

Regardless, when i save this i get a error that sais:

ai_main_h_2.nss - ai_main_h_2.nss(?): Script must contain either a main or Startingconditional
Compile failed

Is this even a script that is used in the game?

I have found another script called "rules_core" ,which got "follow" actions for allies or so (im not sure) and i changed the TRUE to FALSE at what i believe changes Run to Walk (see above) and saving works there. But oddly i never see a file created in my module folder anywhere, and Duncan still runs.

Am i doing something wrong?
