they already have an inventory, would be easy to make the hold / carry stuff...EXCEPT the survivors get destroyed and re-created when they leave the loaded cell. eg when you walk more than a screen length away from them, or exit and rejoin game.
I made a system that tracks their position and re-spawns them when you re-enter the cell. so if you started to give them stuff to hold and carry like backpacks full of backpacks full of packpacks. all that stuff will disapear when the survivor gets destroyed and recreated from leaving the cell.

oh ok that makes sense, another idea i had that would be interesting is a base function or patrol function as well as the wait/follow, idk if thats even possible but it would be pretty cool.

so that means you should take their items off them before leaving survivors in your base?

you could but some people will not read desc or forget and lose the items and compain for course

cant you try to keep record of theri inventory and respawn that as well? just an idea :) you probably already do that with their weapons.tks again

yeah its possible sure, but items have moddata, condition, attachmenets etc. it would be a nightmare to try and save all that in string tables.

a xml file where you only save the changed data... I dont know if its even possible but I can try to help. Private message if you want :)

i have no problem with someone else doing it. it's just a hole that "I" don't want to stick my head into at this time

the pain is real.

true:
3. exit and sleep like you're dead.
false:
4. repeat until done or COMA=TRUE.
