Duplicating [Console Command]

[magnum2016]

Hello,

Is it possible to duplicate NPC's through the usage of Console Commands? If so how, is it the same way as you would duplicate items in containers?

well. just take their ID and spwan in a new one. Also when it comes to times. just type this:

Player.additem [ID] [Amount]

and you can get whatever you want.

(i think this is all correct. im used to doing it through my bat files and the process becomes kind of "doing it without thinking" ).

you can only really dupe non scripted npc's.
example -

player.placeatme 00020593 1 !Settler
player.placeatme 00019567 1 !Raider

you cant dupe scripted npc's like preston or whatever. well, you can, but it seriousley breaks the game.

dupe code -
click on the npc in console and type

prid
spawndupe

^this will give you 1 dupe.

if you you want more than 1 dupe, then stay in console,
click on the npc twice, so the id dissapears and reapears in the window.

press UP on your arrows keys.
this should bring up the command

prid
spawndupe

press enter.

its the same if you want to dupe items but its a very good idea to pick up the item and hold it in your hands to get the id.

pick up the item, open console and type
getplayergrabbedref

then type
prid
spawndupe

it would be easier to make a bat file.
i use 2 files. 1 that dupes once and 1 that dupe three times.

so the bat txt would be

prid
spawndupe

for 1.
or

prid
spawndupe
spawndupe
spawndupe

for 3.

sometimes you might need to prid the id first. so that would be
click on the npc or grab the item and click on it or use the grab id code.

then type
prid (+ whatever the id code says in the window).

then type spawndupe or whatever code you intend to use.

you can equip the stock npc and the dupes will spawn with the same equipment, but dosent work all the time.

is there anyway to duplicate NPC's and have them spawn with the same weapons/armor they have equipped
