NWScript:

// This script allows a player to summon their current or former henchman

// to them.  If the henchman has been hired by someone else, a message

// will be given and the summoning will not occur.

//

// This script is very handy for those times when your henchman bites the dust,

// or if you need to do something without the henchman interfering, but want

// them back afterwards.

//

// Upon using the item that will be doing the summoning (this case it is a wand),

// a spell effect will fire and when the henchman arrives they will greet you.

// Don't forget to rehire them if they just died.

//

// *NOTES* - For this to work you MUST give your henchmen a first name only, and

// their tag MUST match exactly.  So, if you name your henchman Bob, the tag must

// be Bob.  If you name him bOB, the tag must be bOB, etc.  This will work for

// as many henchman as you want.  Remember, no last names - leave it blank.

//

// Next, create an item (I used a wand) and name its tag "wandofcompanions".

// Give it the cast spell ability, with the unique power - self only as the spell.

//

// Place this script in your module's OnActivateItem.

This goes on the "Actions Taken" in the conversation tree of your henchman where they agree to join you.

NWScript:

// This script is placed on the "Actions Taken" section of your henchman's

// conversation tree where they say they will join you.  It sets a local

// variable on them with your name in it, and a local variable on you with

// their name in it.  This is how we will know who goes where, or if they

// have been hired since you last parted ways.  We don't want to summon

// someone else's henchman.
