NPC follower running away from me

[Cobnor]

So I got the quest to escort Pemenie to Gnaar Mok but I had to go somewhere, so I teleported using the mage's guild. When I got to my destination Pemenie wasn't there so I figured she'd wait in Caldera. When I came back to Caldera, she was there but she wouldn't follow me and and keeps running away into a wall. Is there a way to fix this?

AI in this game are programmed to follow you to the letter, meaning if you run in a zig zag pattern so will they, so you probably just messed her up when you teleported, id try either

1.talking to her.
2. reloading
3.reset her using console (im not sure of every command in the game but if there isnt one for just stopping an ai from moving for a moment then you may need to use the kill command then resurrect)

EDIT: or if you walk up to people i know theyll stop what theyre doing to say something to you, not sure how often followers do it in this situation though but maybe if none of the above work just try standing next to her for a little bit and see what she does

ResetActors- Resets every NPC's location to where it originally was (good for recalling NPCs that get stuck in hills/walls/etc after using togglecollision and for moving NPCs that have slowly wandered on top of an item.).

There isnt a kill command but you can just do resurrect on a live person and itll work just fine.

i thought there was a kill command, if not you can always use "Setcurrenthealth" to 0 to kill them or just sethealth 0

Only problem with that is lets say you rescue an NPC or are excorting one, they will be reset to their original location in the game. It would be much better to use the "setX/YZ" command if they are actually stuck in something.

true. ive never actually used many of the commands, i use commands to spawn creatures and set their health to ridiculous ammounts just to watch the guards fight them, which in turn screwed up some settings in my game (settings wont save anymore lol) but oh well, never really used it for debugging.

I've tried talking to her, I've reloaded many times and I set her health to 0 and resurrected her. She keeps walking away after all of these. Any other ideas?

Edit: I've also tried reset actors, but she didn't go back to where I found her. Didn't even move from her endless pacing.

Also, I'm not sure how to use the "setX/YZ" command.

Fixed it! So I tried turning on no collide to see where she was heading and to see if when she got there she would follow me again. While on the way to what I assume was where I teleported to (Balmora) she got attacked by one of those flying things. After I killed it she was following me. So it looks like she needs to be attacked or have her last follow script interrupted or something. Thanks for the helps guys!
