Puppet

[Mandalore The Shadow]

First of all is it possible to make one character have two puppets of so can someone make a mod where you can have bodyguard droids or sith troopers

[Miles Edgeworth]

I believe it is possible, but if you want it for the PC, you're out of luck.

why does it not work with th PC?

You have also probably noticed that your main player character is missing from the Party Table. This character is handled separately and is not stored in the party table. This means that you cannot assign a puppet to the Exile. Only party members can have puppets.

search in final touch by oldflash, there is a PC remote

^^^^I don't think that is an actual puppet tho. Oldflash used an armband to creat the remote and you could use it as a workbench I think(been awhile since I played Final Touch) So his pc remote was more like the call to aid armband you see in K1 where you can make something appear but it isn't a puppet.

There are various scripts that can be used for spawning that have droids or people follow the main PC as if they were a puppet allowing them to act independant of the main PC it just requires extra effort on the part of the modder to get the effect that they are trying to establish.

Add this to the heartbeat script of an NPC :

// k_fpm_heartbtxx

#include "k_inc_debug"
#include "k_inc_generic"
#include "k_inc_switch"
#include "k_inc_utility"



void main()
{



            object oEnemy = GetNearestCreature(CREATURE_TYPE_PERCEPTION, PERCEPTION_SEEN, OBJECT_SELF, 1, CREATURE_TYPE_REPUTATION, REPUTATION_TYPE_ENEMY);
            if(!GN_GetSpawnInCondition(SW_FLAG_AI_OFF) && !GetSoloMode())
            {
                if(GetPartyMemberByIndex(0) != OBJECT_SELF)
                {
                    if(//GetCurrentAction(OBJECT_SELF) != ACTION_FOLLOW && 
                       GetCurrentAction(OBJECT_SELF) != ACTION_WAIT  &&
                       !GetIsConversationActive() &&
                       !GN_GetSpawnInCondition(SW_FLAG_SPECTATOR_STATE) &&
                       GetCommandable())
                    {
                       
                          if(!GN_GetIsFighting(OBJECT_SELF) && !GetIsObjectValid(oEnemy))
                           
                          
                            ClearAllActions();
                            if(GetDistanceBetween(OBJECT_SELF, GetPartyMemberByIndex(0)) < 5.0)
                            {
                             ClearAllActions();
                             ActionForceMoveToObject(GetPartyMemberByIndex(0), FALSE, 1.0);
                             //SendMessageToPC(GetFirstPC(), "Debug Message: Henchmen just executed the bWalk routine.");
                            }
                            if(GetDistanceBetween(OBJECT_SELF, GetPartyMemberByIndex(0)) > 5.0)
                            {
                             ClearAllActions();
                             ActionForceMoveToObject(GetPartyMemberByIndex(0), TRUE, 3.5);
                             //SendMessageToPC(GetFirstPC(), "Debug Message: Henchmen just executed the bRun routine.");
                            }
                          
                     }
                }
            }
            else if(GetSoloMode() && GetCurrentAction(OBJECT_SELF) == ACTION_FOLLOWLEADER)
            {
                ClearAllActions();
            }
            if(GN_GetSpawnInCondition(SW_FLAG_EVENT_ON_HEARTBE  AT))
            {
                SignalEvent(OBJECT_SELF, EventUserDefined(1001));
            }
        
   
   
}

this makes the specified NPC follow you around
