Give Your Orders problem...Doors = Death?!
      #2967949 - 08/25/04 03:30 AM

I'm not sure why, and I'm not sure if I'm the only one that has this problem.

However, when I have someone following me thanks to Give Your Order, a lot of times when they walk through a door with me, a door that divides a cell, they receive fall damage!

I don't get why this happens. It doesn't go both ways most of the time. *Ie: From a house in Balmora going outside, no damage. However, same door, going back in, I hear my partner get fall damage.*

More times than not, this usually kills low level generic people from Morrowind Comes Alive.

But even Guards and Ordinators get the same problem. Anyone know why this happens? = \

      #2968016 - 08/25/04 04:16 AM

This is a known issue with Give Your Orders, and the reason is that the npcs have a constant slowfall effect. Slow fall is screwed up on npcs and causes them to take damage when passing through doors.
Easiest way to deal with it (unless you want to go into TESCS and remove spelleffects) is to open up the console, click on a companion so that his ID-name shows up at the top of the console. Type:
SetAcrobatics 400

Do that with each of your companions. They now will have such a high acrobatics skill that they will hardly take any damage when passing through doors, in spite of the slowfall effect.

Re: Give Your Orders problem...Doors = Death?! [Re: Morter]
      #2968039 - 08/25/04 04:28 AM

Slowfall. Not currently using GYO, so I'm a bit hazy on the details - if memory serves though, it's actually a Morrowind bug. Companions using a slowfall spell will take fall damage going through doors and GYO (again, I think) gives them a constant slowfall effect so they don't get hurt while following you if you jump off a roof or something. (Would explain why it only happens in one direction - that wouldn't be needed indoors.)

Possible solutions: If you want to keep the slowfall effect, try Vorwoda's Companion-Friendly Doors - if it doesn't work automatically, you may need to adapt it. (Instructions are in the readme.)
Alternatively, take a look at the GYO scripts and remove the slowfall effect altogether.

If that doesn't work, you might also try asking at TheLys forums - I'm sure this has been mentioned before, so there may be a fix around that I don't know about.

Well this is the thing.. Only the companions I gain with GYO get this problem. Anything else like CM_Partners or BAR_Mercenaries don't get hurt.

Odd...but maybe because those two mods make their own NPCs...*shrugs*

The other two mods will have their own follow script - no slowfall effect, so they'll go through the doors without a problem. Again, they're not mods I'm terribly familiar with, but I would guess the companions level with you, so are likely to be able to tolerate circumstances better. i.e. if both you and they are at level 20 with acrobatics at 70, you'll be fine with that jumping from a roof mentioned earlier. GYO lets you command anyone to follow you, regardless of whether they're up to the task or not, so things like the slowfall effect were put there to minimise accidental damage.

Only the GYO companions have a constant sloweffect added to them, also, only some of the GYO companions level with you. That's why I suggested setting their acrobatics skill in the console as the easiest solution, and the one TheLys generally also recommends.
Both Baratheon's mods and Partners mod will have the same problem if the companion are using a slowfall effect, but if your level is high enough, there will be no noticeable damage, as I believe both Baratheon and Blackie have used a setting for acrobatics that goes something like Player->GetAcrobatics + 100.

You will still have another problem with them, though - if they levitate through a door, they will disappear (goes for both GYO, Partners and Baratheon's). This is also a Morrowind original bug, which affect almost all companions (except newer companion by me, where TheOtherFelix has added a scripting solution to the problem).
So make sure that you have no levitation effect active when passing through doors.

      #2968709 - 08/25/04 10:58 AM

I tried a number of these proposed solutions. The one that worked was that provided by TheLys here ---> Re: Give your Orders 1.3 help fixing slow fall scripts.

Quote:

The "debugging" works this way:

- open the mod in the CS
- go to spells tab
- find all spells beginning by "Orders_" or "_Orders_"
- in those spells components, remove all "slowfall" references (replace with blank)
- close them all, save the mod.

That's all.
This is not really a solution as you're removing a feature actually, but it's the only way to temporary run the mod correctly. I've found another way to have slowfall and not have your companions die since then, but it is part of a whole new system and will have to wait a bit that the code of the new version is stabilized enough to be released.

Erm...that is also a problem. I never have a slowfall OR levitation when I'm going through doors. PLUS, my acrobatics are 210, so I wouldn't know where this damage thing would happen.

Do you recommend that method, though? Is it important for anything?

What Emma said, and it's a bit simpler if you don't know anything about the editor:

Acrobatics on the companions to 200...

In-game, open the console with the tilde (~) key. Click on the companion with your cursor to make them the active object in the console (the title, "Console", at the top will change to the id of your companion). Type the following:

setacrobatics 200

Setting will "stick" so you only need to do it once per companion. Won't hurt, and will keep them from dying when you go through doors.

Grumpy ----> I know. I tried that one and Vorwoda's doors (and talked to Vorwoda about it and his doors script only works for companions that are built with that in mind and GYO's clearly are not.) You may well be entirely correct and perhaps the solution you suggest works equally well. But from my own experience the one that worked was TheLys' solution that I quoted.

As I recall, there is one spells entry to change. You know my CS-anxiety-syndrome and I was able to do it in about 3 minutes following those directions.

It is not a question of your acrobatics or slowfall. It is the slowfall spell on the GYO companions, invoked without you being aware of it that gives the doors dentures. Editing as TheLys suggests fixes that, permanently for all of them.

Morter: No offense if you are an editor guru...

Ronin: Reason you want to do it this way (setacrobatics), is because it does not require editing, and "we" don't know if this individual has editing capabilities or not at this point.

He has not told us one way or another, and as many know, editing can be somewhat intimidating.

Now maybe it would be good for this individual to get familiar with the editor (if he/she is not already), so I won't argue that point, but the "setacrobatics" method is near foolproof and easy to use, and only requires a simple operation in the console.

Yann's suggestion is valid, and is the better of the two options, but I generally proceed from the assumption that people know little of editing unless informed otherwise...

Grumpy, I'm not too keen on the Editor as far as CREATING things, but as for editing things, you just have to tell me how to GET there. I'm a good enough guesser. I am familiar, however, to the console [THANK YOU, UNREAL'S ENGINE!]

I am familiar with setting people's stats. I set most people I have to escort via conventional quests with 400 speed. I understand what setacrobatics do. I do not mind, in the slightest, taking out the slowfall feature in the GYO mod. All I want to know is 1) Will it damage the mod in any way, or my save.

and

2) Is this some importand dire feature needed in GYO? Or can it be deleted without a 2nd thought..

Thank you ALL for your great assistance ^_^

Hint: For those with GYO and VGreetings, join the imperial Legion. It is so hilarious to have the steel clad imperial jerkwads look up at you with sad puppy eyes and go "-Your Bidding, Knight?-". Owned

Yep, know that place. Point taken. Agreed. Mea culpa. Flowers?

Nope, I did it midway in with no ill effects. Just make a clean copy of the mod (and the savegame) before you edit it just in case - always good housekeeping practice by the way.

The latter . . rip it out if you want to go that way. No dire consequences.

Edit: Emma, very nice new avvy by the way!

I'm sort of new to TESAME. I know HOW to delete, but I don't know WHAT to delete, so...when I clean my save. What am I looking for?

You normally have nothig to do in TESAME at all, just open the normal Construction set coming with the game. As Ronin said above, it's a mater of seconds if you know the editor, minutes if you're a perfect noob

Just follow the instructions, it's very very easy.

I'm preparing a version 1.4 (coming soon, promise) for bypassing this problem and add some new features before version 2.0 which will come a while later (because of total rewriting).
