I want to set up a little "pet" room for a vampire house mod I'm making. Basically, end product, I want the NPC (a Khajiit, haha!) to wander around the room and do normal things (eat, read, maybe paint or somesuch), but when the player commands them to sleep, they immediately do so. I'm sure someone out there knows how to do this... would you be willing to clue me in, too?

Thank you so much for any and all help! So grateful for this talented community! xD

No one? xD

Okay, I'm a complete noob to pretty much everything involved in the Oblivion CS, but since nobody has posted I feel obligated to attempt at helping.

Have you tried making an AI package that makes them sleep constantly? For the "result" box in dialogue (if it even still exists from Morrowind's CS) make a line of script that gives them that package. Basically, you tell them to sleep, and they do, until you tell them to wake up.

This is all theoretical, but it's the best I can do.

that would work I think. Maybe give them the package, and have the results dialogue box make the NPC evaluate the package. the sleep package should never evaluate on it's own, and should continue when pc is near, and skip fallout behavior. However, you'll need to run another script when you want to wake the NPC up to stop the sleep package from evaluating.

There is probably an easier way to do this, I'm sure someone more experienced than I would know.

Just a though, I don't remember much about being a vampire besides joining the Dark Brotherhood and finishing their questline. When you activate a sleeping NPC, don't you get the option to either talk or feed? Or pickpocket or feed, and talk when not sneaking? Whatever the case, you could give the NPC specific dialogue for when it's asleep that tells it to wake up...like it's hypnotized in some sort of trance or something...your choice, but my point is maybe you could just make a topic that removes/disables the package.

If you do get it working, mind sending me the script? I'm trying to make a cattle cell, too.

Oh, thank you for all the replies!



I wanted her to be like a pet instead of full-time cattle, so no, she does other things... thanks though! That would have solved the problem perfectly. xD





I think this option has the most potential with my limited knowledge... Like when I tell her to sleep, the ai package is added and that evaluates above all others, until I tell her to stop, in which case it's removed. I'll try and get on that, thanks!

This sounds cool!

Second! I'm making my own:) But it's a lot less complex than what we're looking at here...just a person who sleeps 24/7...I want THAT job.
