Newbie question!

[Dark Hound]

Hi there, I'm trying to make a mod that includes vendors that will travel. Can you please help me in doing that the AI mixes it up and I get confused.

I just want to give them a few basic AI commands:

Sleep and Travel and I don't know if I have to put a wait command since the bedroll will be right next to him.

I want to give him the usual command for sleep every evening but not when he travels.

He will be placed in the IC and I want to give him a command for him to travel to Bravil and stay there for a while, then come back to the IC

Can I make him non respawnable, but enable him to respawn his sell loot?

I was planning on making him high level so that he doesn't get killed by random encounters

Also what are the recommended stats about his behavior I don't want him to ignore enemies or ignore any attacks made against him

Thanks in advance!

What you want to do is not that hard when you have a basic understanding of the AI Packages, what I'd suggest is to try your hand at the NPC & AI classes here, They should cover what you need , I'll also be here to help you if need be.

They should get you on your way to doing what you want now to your other questions:

1) Can I make him non respawnable, but enable him to respawn his sell loot?

His Vendor chest will respawn when the cell resets, which every 3 days.

2)I was planning on making him high level so that he doesn't get killed by random encounters

Most Vendors are around level 10, some higher ect. I think roughly level 15 to 20 would cover a travelling NPC. Just make sure they're armed

3) Also what are the recommended stats about his behavior I don't want him to ignore enemies or ignore any attacks made against him

I'd leave his stats as they are, just make sure the Defensive Combat option is checked in his AI package, that way if he is attacked he'll defend himself but won't go out looking for trouble.

What about his chest I don't want to move it underground or anything like it

I added my npc a key that opens the chest if the player pickpockets or unlocks the chest any other possible way then my NPC is to call the guards or kill the player?

[InsanitySorrow]

If the player steals stuff then the NPC should call the guards, but to prevent that I'd make the chest require the key
