About this mod
Just a brief tutorial on making management of objects n settlers, simpler with the use of console commands and bat files.
- Permissions and credits
Step 1:
Make sure you can access the console command, normally "~", pressing the tilde key will open a console input, if not, find a fix or someway to access this, since this is needed for everything I'm going over.
Step 2:
Find the NPC/Object you want to micro-manage, stand in front of them.
Step 3a:
While standing in front of your chosen NPC/Object that you wish to Micro-Manage, open up the console, the input screen we went over in step 1. Proceed to Step 3b
Step 3b:
While the console is opened, click on the NPC/Object you have chosen to Micro-Manage, a Hex-Like code should appear in the center of the screen. In this example the code we need is: ff006044
Step 4:
Now we have the ID of that specific NPC/Object, we will need this ID to call this specific NPC/Object each time. Now for the best part, the commands.
prid ff006044 ;This will target the NPC/ID Owner without clicking, anywhere you are in the game.
moveto player ;This will teleport that NPC/ID Owner to the origin of the Player, your feet. Do not change this.
When entering the above commands in the console they will do what is mentioned. So now you keep track of everything in a text document of each NPC/ID Owner, with their functions and teleport them to where you in the game and assign or perform any task/directive you would like, storage boxes, NPCs, cow farms, whatever your heart desires. This is considered a cheat I guess since it utilizes the console.
OPTIONAL Step 5:
Creating a command for the console, simply copy paste the below into a new text document and fill in with your codes and information or download it.
IMPORTANT: Save this to the main Fallout 4 folder with the Fallout4.exe is located, with any name you want the command to be. eg.2meSanctuarySettler1.txt, then to execute this new command, you simply open your console up in game and type: bat 2meSanctuarySettler1 ,then press enter and it will execute the command and teleport the saved command to you.
Anything prefixed with ";" is unneeded so feel free to delete it.

;Fill with your own IDs and Information wanted/needed. REPLACE: ???????? with ID of chosen object/NPC
;Name: None
;Purpose: None
;Settlement: None
prid ???????? ;This will target the NPC/ID Owner without clicking, anywhere you are in the game.
moveto player ;This will teleport that NPC/ID Owner to the origin of the Player, your feet. Do not change this.

NOTES:
Having a real follower, like Dogmeat, will negate the effects of you pulling/teleporting another real follower, meaning you cannot pull another real follower when you have a real follower already following.
ORGANIZATION:
To keep all your manmade commands neat, I suggest you name the txt files with a prefix, such as "2me" so it keep them all up on your file list next to each other.
Just incase you missed it, you call the saved command by typing in console:
bat nameofthecommand
nameofthecommand = whatever you named the txt document with the commands, like above, 2meSanctuarySettler1
