Companion Script Problem

[Zaldir]

Okay, I am making a Companion for someone, and I've gotten everything to work, except from one part, where the companions is supposed to Stop follow and eventually leave.

After one day, Wasabi is supposed to stop follow, and after 3 days, she'll leave for Border Watch.

The Green part is where the problem is.

For starters, you are setting lastFeedDay to the current day, every single execution frame. So, DaysDiff will never be equal to 1 since it will always be equal to the current game day set just above it.

Another note here. Even if Wasabi was fed at 11pm, at midnight, a new day, she will run away since the last feed day was the 'previous day'. You might want to take into account the time of the last feeding too. Or make it 2 days.

[Zaldir]

So, how would the script go then? (I'm not good with companions and time )

[WillieSea]

When your companion is fed, that is when you set the variable lastFeedDay. Not every frame like you have it.

If the feeding is done somewhere else, you may want to use a global or quest variable to store the date and time of feeding.

I have no idea how you have it all set up so I could not help more than that. Plus, I am no good at all with quests or dialoge. Just scripts...

[Zaldir]

Okay, thank you very much!

I just removed set lastFeedDay to GameDaysPassed from the beginning, and it all works now.
