Very Good Stoney , I like how she stole someone else's bed

[nottlong]

Hope I am including everything. I wonder why Jill chose to eat there instead of at the table or other chairs? And Kitty seems to have a problem with her tail.

Good Nott, you may move on , The Tail issue has been covered, there is a quick tutorial here in the AI section for fixing it.

[nottlong]

Thanks IS,I will try the fix because it has shown up in dungeons before and I did not know what it was.

[InsanitySorrow]

Yeah it can be annoying but it's an easy fix, a simple swap of skeletons

[bearhugs]

Here is my lesson 2.

[InsanitySorrow]

Did you set a destination in the location tab?, If there is no place set then they have no where to travel too.

Travel pack worked on pawnbroker NPC.

SS in album.

I suspect pathgrid issues in the house causing issue.

[stankirby]

I'm still in les 2 and my house guest wont travel but the pawn broker does.

NPC in house the AI order is: Eat, sleep, wander, travel(mon wed, fri).

Could that be the issue?

TY

[InsanitySorrow]

If the AI Package worked on another NPC but not the one you want, Check the order of the packages, you'll want the Travel package to be before the wander package as the wander package is there for when the other packages have ended (IE NPC has no other package to run).

[stankirby]

IS

That was the issue.

NPC travelled to INN.

[InsanitySorrow]

Now that that's all sorted, you seem to have everything else done, so you may move onto class 3

I have finished Lesson 2 and the homework, here are my screens

Eat Package

Sleep Package

Wander Package

Travel Package

Travel Package Showing Location Tab

A few questions if I may?

1. The Location radius is in game units Correct?

2. If I wanted to have a NPC confined to a cell what would I make the Location radius for say eat and sleep? (My Player is a Vampire and I have created cells to store his food source. I don't want to have to worry about always locking the cell door.)

[InsanitySorrow]

All looks good, you may move onto Class 3

1. The Location radius is in game units Correct?

1) IIRC it is yes.

2) Just set the location radius to a value you think will be good, the NPC should not leave the cell you placed them in unless you have a package that tells them to do so.

Ok here is my lesson 2. My npc Nemoria lives in a cottage outside Hermaeus Mora's Shrine. I thought it would be neat to have her travel there. It took a minute to figure out how to get her to go there so I studied an npc from that area with similar packages.

Packages

[InsanitySorrow]

Your travel package looks fine , If you have them, would you post pics of your other AI packages?, Mainly:

Eat Package

Sleep Package

Wander Package

[Beana]

oops I forgot that one!!!
