After crafting a statue, you can drop it and move it wherever you want. Don't worry about their physics, as they will always return to an upright position (like a Gomboc or a Weeble).
When you have it in the position you want it, cast Drain Life/Vampiric Drain on the Gargoyle. Once you've cast the spell on your Gargoyle, it's position should finalize, and its rotation should automatically fix itself so that it's not tilted.
With a Gargoyle's position finalized, it will automatically break out and attack enemies that come near it, and automatically return to its position when combat ends. You can cycle through the Aggression Setting of a Gargoyle by attacking its statue with Drain Life/Vampiric Drain. You can also awaken a Gargoyle by activating its statue with 'e'. An awakened Gargoyle will follow you until you tell it not to.
Gargoyles from this mod don't use the vanilla follower system, so you can theoretically have as many of them following you as you want, HOWEVER there is a script attached to each one, so don't go crazy. Definitely don't try to manage it with a follower manager mod, that will definitely break them.
If you want to relocate a Gargoyle's statue, you can do that by killing it or by talking to it and telling it that you want to relocate it. Either way, you can loot the original statue from its inventory. If a Gargoyle is killed in combat, you can still loot the original statue and place it down again.
Dismissing the Gargoyle will instantly teleport it back to its statue.

Compatibility/Known Issues
- Gargoyles created with this mod are incompatible with ALL follower manager mods. You can still use this mod and a follower manager mod together, but NEVER try to manage any Gargoyles from this mod using any follower manager! You will likely break something within this mod or within your manager!
- Fully compatible with Sacrosanct - Vampires of Skyrim
- Most of the features in this mod are powered by Papyrus - at large quantities of Gargoyles, this mod can be very script-heavy. Keep this in mind.
