How do I properly resurrect an npc?

[Rusty Shackleford]

I had an issue where Arlen Glass died in a fight with super mutants, I used resetactor on him and he reappeared naked where he should be, I came back later with the holotape from his daughter, and Arlen was wearing his clothes again, however when I speak to him my character just says "Hey" or something, Arlen turns around, and he just stares and no dialogue opens. How do I fix this / resurrect him properly?

I had an issue with Dora the cat at Covenant. The exact steps that I used to bring him back:

1) "~" to get into console
2) select the cat "Dora" and the "Ref ID" shows up
3) "recycleactor"
4) "resurrect"
5) "Player.placeatme "Base ID""

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU USE THE BASE ID IN STEP 5)

I tried this after having trouble bringing back NPCs that would just stand there and not interact. The minute I came out of the console mode, the cat came back and started meowing and acting .... kitty like.

I hope this works for your NPC.

Thank you. I was able to resurrect Deezer, but he came back horizontal. I then used recycleactor and he seems fine.

I just hate to see innocents die.

In my playthrough, Cricket was killed in Quincy Ruins by some gunners, and when I resurrected her, she would only spawn in my settlements, as well as stop traveling with her caravan, albeit still selling and buying my stuff as usual when interacted. This weird behavior may be due to me resurrecting without recycling her first.

Thank you for the heads-up.

Yeah, this topic should have been closed because resurrecting scripted NPCs never works. It can make the NPC alive again but it till not restart their scripting.

I got a weird bug. I tried to resurrect an headless NPC, then I made the recycleactor. And once exiting the console, I started "flying" like the TCL command has been activated (which was NOT). I even tried to activate it and deactivate it, but nothing changed.

(resurrect)
(recycleactor)
if they disappear
(disable)
(enable)
(moveto player)
That is how i fixed my dead vault-tec rep. when i resurrected him initially he could talk but wouldn't move. these steps solved the issue.
hopefully this helps anyone still playing this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game lul.

No. There is no working resurrection for scripted NPCs that works.
