SLS animal friend / I'm Walkin' Here patch

---

I'm Walkin' Here has me very spoiled - it's really nice to simply walk through your followers instead of them blocking every single door or hallway.  It works by disabling collision on followers marked as "Teammates".  Your animal "friends" that you may acquire with SL Survival do not get tagged as Teammates however, so this edited version of the _SLS_AnimalFriend script fixes that.  (And let me tell you, it was not a simple thing to gather everything I needed to make this script compile.)

 

No plugin, just a script - safe to update midgame - read the notes below.

Some things I've noted:

 

Quick Mass Follower Commands does not work with your animal friends either, but Swiftly Order Squad does. 

 

Your animal friends may not want to follow you through load doors.  From reading this post by Monoman1 it seems this script should be setting the race to be able to, but doesn't always work.  You can try the following to fix it. First, target your follower in the crosshair, and use SLS debug menu as shown:

I've found that doesn't persist however, and used xEdit to change the race flags as shown (Obviously, the side effect of this is, well, the creature can use load doors, even enemies):

Spoiler

 

This won't work for animal friends currently following you - you'll need to dismiss and reacquire them.

 

This was inspired by Pets of Skyrim (CC) Collision Patch - once I saw what was needed to make it work, this little patch was born.

 

Monoman1 noted in the script that setting the Teammate flag on the follower made them not follow again after being told to wait - I'm not currently seeing this glitch with my implementation.  If it happens to you, let me know with the details.

Not broken - it works well, just all about implementation.  Let us know how it goes (and don't forget the note I made about dismissing and reacquiring those animal followers since you have some already).

 

And you are quite welcome

For the doors fix, would you need to do it for all creature races in Xedit then? I assume so, but just wanted to check. Otherwise thanks for a great little fix and some useful info on its implementation!

You're welcome! Yes, my screenshot was just a guide that I took during testing - you would have to do the same for any animal follower race you'd like to have with you.  There are probably some instances where you DON'T want them to follow (such as giants), so I left the guide so you can use your discretion.

 

I'm not against making a patch for those that should and shouldn't follow, but atm feel it should be user discretion - we're all different.

Totally agree, everyone is going to want something slightly different (and may even be using mods that edit creature races in other ways). Thanks for the quick response!

Correct, and this way that hypothetical user can create their own patch for those race edits.

I fully, 110% believe you it was not easy to get everything to compile. Been there, done that! 🤣

Does this work with Barbas? He's a good tank, but has a stupid habit of blocking all the passages, which is why he has to be chased away.
