making followers that do not battle

Is there a way to have followers not engage in battle without having to event it into every battle?

I would love to know if this would be possible before I start the long and ardous journey of eventing each and every battle to make it happen. Even if there was a parellel event I could use that would work for all battles.

yes, there are several ways.


One option is a pet script (one or two exist), another option would be an engine script modification that changes the number of battlers just before loading the battlescreen (the number of followers is always identical to the number of battle members, but that number can easily be changed).


If you still want to use an evented solution - be adviced that there are also scripts that automatically load the first troops event into every troop when entering battle - you're not the first user who didn't want to copy troop events for every troop in the database (which is also a cause of errors in the case that you need to change those events later)

I'll look into these idea and see if any of them will work for me.
