This Oblivion scripting tutorial can probably explain it better than I can tbh. Good luck out there!
Thank you for sharing this guide, it tells you just enough but doesn't stray off too much, at least the NSFW stuff is skipable!
"SCRIPTS: Script 'DefaultCompiler', line 2: Unknown variable or function 'Waiting'."
"SCRIPTS: Script 'DefaultCompiler', line 2: Missing variable name in set command."
I've followed the guide completely and I'm not sure what the issue could be.
I'm new to this, so any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: I figured out the issue. I assigned the NPC's REF to the fog surrounding her. After re-assigning the REF to the NPC, everything fell into place, for the most part.
Hopefully this information is still useful to you even at this late date.
What you want to do is load up the cell where you placed your NPC. Look for their name in the panel that lists all of the placed objects in each cell.
Right click on their name and select Edit.
---If you're like me, then where you ended up being stuck was with the Reference aspect. I thought that the Reference ID was something that was just given to any newly created NPC/object, but that is not the case.---
When you look at the box that pops up after clicking Edit, you will see that there is in fact no Reference ID for your NPC. You must give them one. Choose what you like, but adding REF at the end of it is purely optional--which was the confusing part for me.
Once you have given them a Reference ID, close the box and save your esp. Now go back to your dialogue and edit all of your script bits to call upon your new ID.
This was my Hiring script. Just highlight the CustomReferenceIDGoesHere bit and paste in your own custom ID. The script should work fine.
Set CustomReferenceIDGoesHere.Waiting to 0
Set CustomReferenceIDGoesHere.IsFollowingDefault to 1
Set CustomReferenceIDGoesHere.IsFollowingLong to 0
Set CustomReferenceIDGoesHere.CombatStyleRanged to 1
Set CustomReferenceIDGoesHere.CombatStyleMelee to 0
Set CustomReferenceIDGoesHere.HasBeenHired to 1SetPlayerTeammate 1
SetIgnoreFriendlyHits 1

Edit: I glanced at your post history. Perhaps the FollowerFiredYes script I made would be more useful to you.
Here you go:
Set CustomReferenceIDGoesHere.Waiting to 0
Set CustomReferenceIDGoesHere.HasBeenHired to 0
Set CustomReferenceIDGoesHere.L38 to 0
Set CustomReferenceIDGoesHere.IsFollowingDefault to 0
Set CustomReferenceIDGoesHere.IsFollowingLong to 0

One mistake for anyone reading this though:
" Moving on to FollowersTacticsCombatPassive. Set your Response text and in the Choices set in the following: FollowersTacticsCombatEND and FollowersTacticsCombatGOODBYE. In the Conditions we set our "GetID" and "GetScriptVariable". This script variable is the NPC for Parameter 1 and for Parameter 2 is "FollowerSwitchAggressive" with a value of 0. And last but not least the Result Script (Begin).
Set ***REF.FollowerSwitchAggressive to 0"
Specifically, the condition should be " FollowerSwitchAggressive" with a value of 1, so you can use it if the follower is already aggressive.
If you leave it as 0, you can only use it when it's passive and it'll only make the NPC passive again.
