Hello to whoever reads this, I have an issue with using the Enclave Stasis Pods. Basically I'm trying to create a quest where you have to go a secret military lab and wake up a "special guest" from cryo stasis from before the Great War, who has the option of being a companion. My issue is that I do not know how to place the NPC inside the Stasis Pod as when I arrive he is already standing next to the pod, and no tutorial I've come across has any solutions. Cheers to anyone with info on this!

You mean a closed pod, with some sort of liquid and a feral ghoul or a deathclaw inside ? Then I don't know.

Otherwise if it is an open pod you can just place the guy inside and add him a travel package to the editor location with infinite duration (or a xmarker heading if you use only 1 NPC). Be sure you disable all fallout behaviour in this package

and add a script to the character with :

Begin onload

if getstage frozenguyQuest <10

setrestrained 1

endif

end

Begin onactivate

if getstage frozenguyQuest <10

return

endif

end

I've made it for a cloning lab and it works like a charm. There is only a slight visual "bump" when the camera angle changes but they stay in place in their pod, like frozen.

With the script you can't interact with the character, so you should add an activator nearby to release him.

activating the device will advance to queststage 20 or whatever, and will unrestrain him so he is no longer restrained each time you meet him.

For the package, use the same getstage condition.
