Need simple help, NPC invaders not attacking like they shoul

Post » Sat Oct 23, 2010 5:09 pm

Hello,

I made an invasion for Castle Hoarfrost using the Maruaders as a Template for my attack. I have tried all kinds of things using the packages but i CANNOT get the NPC to behave properly. I want them to attack Right away, set a package to got to the spot and then start attacking every NPC they see. Also when they are attacked for the other maruaders to join in.

They will fight right now but Mostly one at a time getting picked off by friendly NPC guards.

I have agression set to 100 disposition has been 0-30, I have tried them to target NPCs in the packages but then the maruaders talk to eachother before finally being triggered to attack but mainly by the friendlies attacking them eventually. Its make a POOR invasion.

I Need to know if there is a Simple Script I can make that will Cause them to Draw swords and go straight into combat and attack NPCs right away? I dont know if my problem is a buggy oblivion or not, but I am at a loss. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks in advance.

Hey, you can try using the startcombat [Actor Ref] through script on your marauders and have them each target a specific guard. Another thing that might help you is to disable fallout behavior in the AI so that your marauders will no longer talk to each other. You can try simply doing that first - and make sure you evp so that your marauders select their AI instantly.

I had skip fallout behavior checked, but they would still talk to eachother when I used Target NPCs. What is EVP I am not too knowledgeable on all the terms. Thanks for the help, I can use it. The script probably wouldnt work for me as attacking the guards isnt really what I want, In my mod there is CM Partners that you can make an army of Hoarfrost castle which is why I wanted the attack. Is it possible to just Start combat in general or do I have to specify a unit?
