[Scripting] How can I identify summoned/resurrected NPCs?

[Nymra]

I want to rule out "temporary" actors like summoned ghosts, creatures and resurrected dead that vanish again after some time.

 

I want to rule them out either via ESP (Condition) where I found some stuff that sounded promising but the description was then saying it wont help (IsUndead, IsGhost...)

So is there a faction or keyword that I can track in my script to identify such actors?

 

Thx alot.

Never mind I misread the question, thinking you were looking at all npcs not just summons....

Near as I can tell, there are slew of possible factions and keywords that are used by some, but not all summons.  You could test against those, but will get a lot of false positives.

 

I think this falls into the category of things you would have to find clever and overcomplex workarounds for.

Not exactly what the OP wanted, but as close as we're likely to get.

 

This will still return false positives on commanded actors that have no duration attached (flame thralls, etc).

does this mean the commanded actors without duration will stay in the game until killed?

that would still be enough for me. I just want to prevent timed actors vanishing during sex scenes.
