Quickfix: Move npc or object that is stuck, by console command

[matte]

If anyone else is having issues with npcs or object being stuck in odd places here is a guide on how to teleport it to your position.

*Update* I would recommend to save before doing this after reading some of the comments :)

Guide:
- Look at object or npc
- Open console (key may vary depending on keyboard layout)
- Click on object or npc (this will also show ref id that may be useful by other commands)
- Write "moveto player" and press enter
- Exit console (same key that opens it)

Hope this helps with your fallout experience :)

Thanks for the tip! Hopefully won't have to use it, but it's Fallout, so I will at some point.

I think you would have been better off making a new thread for that. As I've not seen these guys on the forums :D
If you know how that person is (ie a named Quest character) you need to find out their ref ID.
You can lock any ID without clicking on it by using the "PRID [ref id]" command, then the moveto player. For instance Dogmeat is 1d162, to lock him it would be PRID 1d162.
No name generic settlers are untrackable by any form or means, so if you want one of these, you'll have to find them (or write down every REF manually)

Ha. Found an NPC I needed to talk to for a quest floating inside a tank of water you can't even get inside of without a jet pack. Got my jet pack, flew up there.. used this command, and ended up swimming inside a glob of water floating in the sky. Guess I clicked the water instead of the NPC. Oh well, least I could talk to her once she wasn't drowning. We won't worry about that large amount of water totally sticking it to physics.

On second thought.. maybe I should have worried about it. The family I was supposed to be fixing the pump for ended up drowning in their beds, because the water was close enough to the building that it was partly inside it. So, saved the mother from eternally drowning and reviving.. but killed the family. Oh well, least now I know why the father sobered up.

Deezer was hanging out in the Mayor's house in Covenant and not moving. Couldn't push him out. "moveto player" was the trick I needed. Thanks!

LOL I just did a kidnap recovery mission and they where stuck in a huge tub of water i had to use my jet-pack to get to them. Also if you press ` or console and you click on them you can go to any location and type the command and it will spawn them there. Thanks mths

And "Resurrect" can be used to resurrect dead threads.... J/king
I mean "resurrect" as a command can be used to bring most of the dead back (They have to be a fresh kill, it won't work on scripted dead) If they are missing a head or standing there thinking about sucking your brain, you might want to follow it up with a "Recycleactor" command.

Drinking buddy got stick in a wall and he wont move even if i click on him and use moveto player, any help?

[Lady Aeleanor]

Wish I had known how to do that before. Trashcan Carla's Brhamin kept showing up in stupid places every time I fast travelled to Sanctuary. Most times it would free itself, but finally it got stuck on the roof of the house you fast travel to, and the noise about drove me nuts, so I shot it. Carla came after me, but I evaded her, but she's ok with me now. Anyway, her Brhamin hasn't respawned and is still laying dead outside the house :-/

Maybe you're selecting another object. Try clicking around on the npc and see if the id changes, and if so, try a couple of times til you located the correct id. You can also try searching the internet what the id is for Drinking Buddy, if you have problem selecting him :)

Thanks! I'm playing a bugged mod coupled with NV's notorious bugs, and the guy I'm supposed to be following got stuck in a rock. -_-
