How do I make my robot essential? AUTOMATRON. (SOLVED BY ME)

[donald.nintendo]

I want the console commands and methods on how to get my robot tobecome unable to die.
i tried selecting and typing setessential 1... but it didnt work for some reason.
so...i need a way of selecting my robot via console without clicking.

(EDIT)
in the third post here i placed the codes to do this.

The setessential command uses the baseID of the creature, not the refID
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_4_console_commands

I can't find the buildable robot on the Wiki, so good luck finding the base ID.

i figured it out! you need to find the VOICE dummy npc. that will likely set all robots with that voice type to essential...i tested with the kill console command both following and not following.

BUT! i have not tested the self destruct option with it. still awesome though!

here are the IDs and code. copy and paste into a .txt file if you want to.

assaultron voice
setessential 100f47b 1

bleep A
setessential 1010c9d 1

bleep B
setessential 1010c9e 1

bleep C
setessential 1010c9f 1

Female
setessential 10014f4 1

I found that it doesn't always work. I tested it but it worked in one save and then I tried again and it did not. I need this so bad :(

I did a search for Voice Types myself and the base IDs do not match yours. If fact, they arent actor IDs so you can't set essential status on those so I'm curious how you're able to set yours. Can you provide what search you did to get those IDs? FYI here's the output of Processed voices for example

help Processed 4
VTYP: DLC01RobotCompanionFemaleProcessed (0200B855)
VTYP: DLC01RobotCompanionMaleProcessed (0200B854)

EDIT:

Ahh, I took you literally for Voice Type as a variable. The actual base IDs are still NPC_ but they're named as Voice Bots. Doing a

help "Voice Bot" 4

gave me all of the BaseIDs. I'll test these out.
