Console Command PC Resurrect

[Jeannestar101]

In Defense of Bruma. I want to resurrect dead soldiers after closing Master Gate. I use console command resurrect, click on NPC hit enter and it always says needs reference. No matter what I do I cannot get an NPC reference in the console. Does any one know how to get a NPC reference in the console or what buttons to click? Or has this feature been disabled in the GOTY edition. Thanks for any help.

What happens when you open the console, then left click on a dead soldier while the console is open which brings up a ref ID and you use that with resurrect? If that's not working you might need to open the construction set to work out the correct base ID of the NPC and that isn't worth the trouble.

if you click on an actor while the console is open, you should see the refid above in the center of the screen.

If for some reason resurrect doesn't work with the selected actor, try typing:

<formid>.resurrect

where <formid> is the number you see in the center of the screen, something like:

012340.resurrect

Keep in mind that sometimes, some corpses are static objects placed statically there as decoration, and not real actors... be sure to be selecting the correct NPC... it can be tricky and you may need to move the camera around a bit and separate the body a bit from your char... specially if there are several piled up in close proximity :)

Thanks for all responses. No matter where I click with the console open no number ID comes up for any NPC. Thats all right though. I will feeling sad with the Quest "In Defense of Bruma". The Quest was successful - Martin Septim saved but I lost Baurus, Jaufre, and a few others and I wanted to resurrect them. LOL - its only a game - LOL

deaths of certain NPC's then resurrecting them may cause problems,Baurus and Jaffre are replaced by Capt Steffan if the die at the Battle,generally you have to strip them of all gear left click type resurrect,you could try moving the corpse

I thought it might be for Jauffre or Baurus and I'm not sure if I hit a glitch when I played Defence of Bruma because no matter what I did and how much I tried to keep Baurus alive he would always die but I would only see his body when the great gate was closed and I had returned to Bruma. He would be alive when I entered the great gate so it doesn't make sense because the battle is meant to stop the moment you enter the gate.

I made area health and shield spells so I could cast them on all the groups of troops and touch spells as powerful as I could make them for the key NPCs including Baurus. Jauffre survived and is Martin's bodyguard so if Baurus survived he would probably be his bodyguard as well. I would have liked to see that. Maybe I could have just used the console to make Jauffre and Baurus essential but as the quest temporarily removes their essential status that might not even be possible. Capt Steffan is at the Cloud Ruler Temple but he does his own thing and doesn't follow Martin.

I haven't played through the main and guild quest for years and keep being reminded of how good they are so I'm going to have to start a new game.
