Can't command robot at my settlement

[felish]

I got the automatron dlc recently and it was working great until i made a new robot and took him out as a companion for a bit. When i brought him back and dismissed him, i tried to assign him to a job at graygarden. Insead of giving me the 'command' option through the workshop, the only option i got to do with him was the 'select' function. So basicly he's less of a settlere/robot and more like an object that walks around mindlessly. I can pick him up and place him anywhere like any wall or turret. I cant move him, command him, assign him, or send him to a supply line. All my other robots are fine.

Things ive tried:
Restarting game
Entering the robot workbench and making minor changes to him
loading and older save

Any ideas fellas?

If all of the other robots are fine, then let that one be for now. Everything you do is just making things worse.

Character AI is bugged, probably due to stuck WorkshopScript. Settlers - both humans and robots - can end up suffering from that. Each time you click them to do something will only make it harder for that character to recover.

If you see such settlers or robots, then click them just once(!) to point them some task. Such, as assign them to pillory, where you can later easily see them. Robots probably don't work with that, so send them to do something else. Then ignore them entirely.

They will usually snap out of it in time, as far as you are not getting frustrated and trying to force them work. They might be standing and looking stupid for a long time, until they suddenly march in to what ever they were supposed to be doing.

As said, I am using pillory for human settlers. It is a single action object, where glitched NPC AI can't cause any harm. Pillory doesn't have resource script that could get damaged from NPC behaviour either. Try to find something similar for the robot, or let it just be.

You can have a glitch that no matter what, your robot will not leave you, they are buggy. Take off his parts and make a new bot.
