I Want to Learn How To Make...

Post » Tue May 17, 2011 3:11 pm

Basically, I use TheTalkieToasters Companion Share & Recruit, and he pointed me to mod that I really enjoyed but I ultimately wanted to make my own version of, a better version, perhaps.

Basically, I wanted to learn how to make a mod like this.

I know how to make an NPCs face, edit there inventory, but I need more than that.

I need to learn how to...

Make a complete weekly schedule for an NPC in big settlements and wasteland settlements

Placing them in game environment

Making Traveling Merchants and Repairmen (or generally, an NPC that offers services)

Have them say a few unvoiced lines with a few topics about themselves or tips on the game (secrets obtainable with a speech check)

Perhaps making small campsites where a few of these NPCs could gather and generally hang out, and go seek food and kill animals/other things and salvage items within a certain area. Possibly.

If some of you would be so kind as help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hi!
First learn to make NPCs and place them in some area with few XMarkers or IdleMarkers.
For NPCs with scheduled actions... please study AI packages:

Once you make a plain AI package and add it your NPC, then modify your package to run on specific day or hour (Schedule tab in the Package dialog).
I also recommed looking at the Geck video tutorials on YouTube (link is at top of this forum, I think).

Oh, remember to add NavMesh to the area your NPC is in. I usually forget this and wonder "why my AI package is not working?"

Hope this gets you started on right path.
