I have a call in a conversation node, to set a plot flag that has a case, which sets up
a hire follower.  Simple enough.  Problem is that not only does it hire the follower but it
generates a new instance of the creature instead of just hiring the one with the conversation.
So then I have the original (who does not follow) and a duplicate that is following me.

Any ideas why?  I've done the same thing in another mod and it isn't a problem.

Are you sure it is UT_HireFollower? Have you checked your plot script to ensure that all the case statements are terminated with a break statement? If your plot script also spawns the creature you could be falling through into that logic.

Here's a copy of the plot script. I can't see anything wrong except maybe at the very bottom I may need another break? What do you think?

Do you have multiple instances of Elric in the current area or area list's areas?

Be aware that GetObjectByTag can return a reference to an object for an instance from any area in the current area list or from any global object like the world map or char_stage. Obviously the world map isn't relevant here but the others might.

You could try swapping GetObjectByTag to GetNearestObjectByTag or UT_GetNearestObjectByTag to ensure you get a reference to the instance the player is currently talking.

That was the problem. As soon as I changed it to UT_GetNearestObjectByTag - it worked fine. Thanks.
