is there a way to summmon a follower to where u are

[ralph13132]

so if a follower is far away and u havent met b4, can u bring them to u?

"follower id".moveto player

1. type: help "(name of follower)" ---> get the ID

2. type: player.placeatme (ID)

PlaceAtMe creates a new clone of an actor instead of teleporting the existing one. So it would only mess things up.

 

Also Help <NameOfTheActor> would give you BaseID of that actor and for player.moveto you need RefID not BaseID.

If your follower is a vanilla NPC you can find RefIDs on skyrim wiki sites.

 

As for how to move follower in a simple way - fast travel. Anywhere - even to the same location you are in (it wont work if you ordered your follower to wait for you somewhere).

Definitely do not use placeatme. 

If you don't know the RefID of your follower, load a previous save game where you are next to your follower, target the follower, and the ref ID that comes up is what you need.

Now reload the save game in which you want to summon the follower and type:

prid <refID>

moveto.player

 

You can also teleport to wherever the follower is at with:

player.moveto <refid>

 

Also, if you install a follower mod like AFT (Amazing Follower Tweaks), there is a built-in power to summon your follower(s).

To add to what uman2631 said, there is another way to find the ref ID.  This is a quote I copied down sometimes ago from a person I forgot:

 

"you can find it by entiering this in the console "save testname 1". The 1 is an option to generate a text file for you that contains all the codes in the save and put it in your save game folder. Then just search up the name of what your looking for. The first search result will be the baseId and the second will be the refId"

Where were you 3 months ago when I couldn't for the life of me find the refID of my follower!? 

 

Thank you.  This is very helpful.  Saving now.
