My NPC is catching on fire

[mikerhon]

I created and NPC to use as a companion. Everything is working great except when the NPC gets hit in combat he catches on fire. He takes no damage. He acts normal, just his clothing is on fire. The only way to make it stop if to make him change his outfit. It does not seem to matter what clothing he wears.

I just cant figure this one out.

Thanks for any suggestions.

What base Actor did you start with? Did you create your own outfit record or using vanilla or any mod based ones? How much altering did you do to the actor. Deep or only a few changes here and there? I'd start looking through all the tabs on the Actor and double check the inventory tab and even spell list also look at traits tab and check all the actor values there too.

Check to make sure you do not have a "rogue script attached to the actor. In game, open the console, click on the NPC and enter sv This will display the variables of all attached scripts and any alias the ref is in. Check those quest alias for scripts as well. This sounds like a script with OnHit do "on fire" magic effect.

A long shot idea is to double check the keywords attached. Some vanilla keywords trigger game systems just by being attached.

Edit- post pics. That sounds funny! (well... not for you)

Good call forgot scripts that could get attached. And yes this screams magic effect

I cant remember what base actor I stared with, so good call on that. I will check in game to see what scripts are attached as I am betting that's what is going on.
Thank you all for your time and ideas in helping me get this figured out.

I will update when I get it figured out so someone in the future will know what to do when their NPC companion looks like a burning bush.

Here is a link to the video so you can see it in action (the burning man that is)
