Summon Your Companion  

Call your waiting companion by radio and summon them to you.

Mod Features

Isn't it annoying that when you have told a companion to Wait Here, you have to walk all the way back to them to make them follow you again?  It's the 24th century, don't people have radios in their space suits?  Well, this mod fixes that.

Once you have told a companion to Wait, simply hit the mod's hotkey to call them and tell them to start following you again.  They'll reply by radio, then travel overland to your position.

Currently, this mod only works with the four actual Companions (Andreja, Barrett, Sam, and Sarah).  Support for the other recruitable followers will be added in a later version.

Requirements

Starfield Hotkeys - required to trigger the radio call

Baka Achievement Enabler (SFSE) - not strictly required, but without it Starfield will disable achievements if you use this mod

Installation

Install the mod's requirements, then install this mod using your favorite mod manager.

Then, configure the hotkey by adding the following line to the [Hotkeys] section of the Hotkeys\Hotkeys.ini file located in your Starfield installation folder:

Home=cgf "EgoCompanionRadio.SummonCompanion"

Change Home to whatever key you prefer.  Available key bindings are listed here.

Technical

The mod consists of a single Papyrus script which provides global functions that can be called from the console using the CallGlobalFunction (CGF) command.  Technically, you can use the mod without the hotkey mod by simply running the command "EgoCompanionRadio.SummonCompanion" in the console.  There is no plugin for this mod because the tools to create safe plugins are not yet available.

The functions in the mod script are simple one-shot global functions that leave nothing persistent in your save.  It is safe to install or uninstall at any time.

Credits

This mod wouldn't be possible without Bethesda Archive Extractor by hexabit, the Champollion Papyrus decompiler and the Caprica Papyrus compiler by Orvid and Nikitalita, and xEdit from ElminsterAU to obtain the form IDs of the actors, quests, dialogue topics, etc.
