How to get a follower to comment on environment
Hello everyone! I'm trying to get my follower mod to comment on the "Impressive views" across Skyrim (like the default followers do when reaching certain locations, like the Kilkreath balcony). My problem is that, despite attempting to reverse engineer the Inigo mod (since he also comments on that) I can't seem to get it to work

What I have so far:
- I know the quest containing the scene with the dialogue must have "Scripted Event" on the Event scroll.
- I added the quest inside the SM Nodes inside "Stacked Quest Node: WIFollowerCommentNode" node and copied the same conditions as in "Quest: FollowerCommentary02" for it to trigger.
- I created a triggerbox, added the WICommentTriggerScript in it and filled the properties in the same way other triggerboxes have them.

With all of this, Inigo does trigger his Impressive View Scenes when walking inside the triggerbox but my custom follower does not. I haven't seen any documentation anywhere about how to tackle this, some help would be reaaaaally appreciated :_D

Custom followers like Inigo are often managed by a custom follower framework. Instead take a look at vanilla followers. For example, Serana has some specific dialogue when exiting Dimhollow Crypt.

Yes I know how to do those via conditions but there's some points where the followers (Inigo and vanilla ones) say something like "there's danger ahead" or "what an impressive view" and I'm trying to get those to work but I can't figure out how those are setup besides using the SM Event Nodes

Have a look at exterior cell DLC1DimhollowExterior02. When the player and Serana exit Dimhollow Crypt, they end up inside a red box. Inside the box is the yellow teleport marker and a blue activator, the defaultStartSceneTrigger. This activator will start the scene in which Serana comments on the environment. The scene, DLC1VQ02RNPCOnExit, is part of the quest DLC1VQ02RNPC

I see what you mean but it's not quite what I'm looking for. What I'm looking for is the type of sentences used on the quest FollowerCommentary02, where they use the triggerboxes already in the game at certain points to use those "comment on Impressive view" lines

Principally it works the same in Skyrim and Dawnguard, only Dawnguard has the additional blue activator inside the red trigger box.

I have taken a look at the FollowerCommentary02 quest. This quest has only one quest alias, Follower, which could mean that only the first follower entering the trigger box will fill the alias and speak the comment.

I see, I'll try to use that method but I'll also try to contact Inigo's creator (and some others I know use the FollowerCommentary02 quest to trigger the scene too) to see if I can figure out how they did it. Thank you for your help ^^
