Further thoughts.
When using debug_AddMinthara the execution scene recognizes the entity within the area and plays the cutscene involving the character. If that character is being piloted by the user at the time the scene reverts to the normal goblin one.
Adding and removing flags does not seem to enable talking to them after they've been added to your team. This is the opposite of characters such as Lae'zel whom I used debug_HideRemove on and then Debug_add on and was able to resume full and normal control.
This makes me think there's a flag, or condition not being set, or there's a flag that's set disallowing talking due to the character being "knocked out" or dead. This makes me think another set of eyes on this may help out.
Furthermore the summoning and even force companion command for what is seemingly her Gob_DrowCom- whatever seems to be a clone/puppet. Always in full armor, always level 6 (for me), never able to be talked to or interacted with and the game doesn't seem to acknowledge them as the "proper" Minthara.
This leads me to believe that there is something in the flags of Minthara as generated by the game than by us. Likely a unique ID - which makes me wonder if we can use CE's pointer function to find the ID of her to use the createAt or teleport functions.
This is my newest idea on the subject after spending a few more hours turning flags on and off, killing her, reviving her, talking to withers, etc.
I'm further curious about how some of these flags actually work for us as some such as the Teleport flags don't seem to do anything even while giving a "Success" status message. Possibly also a pointer issue?
I'm getting tired now, but if anyone wants to work with me on this I feel like we may be dancing around the precipice of figuring this out but I don't know lua code and I'm having trouble sorting through the functions as a lay-person . I have coding and game design experience in other engines and formats but this kinda makes me feel dumb.
Feel free to DM me or respond on here, I'm keeping up with the forum pretty well because I'm personally trying to hold back my playthrough a bit till I have her in my party.
Sorta Tl:Dr; I think if we can use a pointer to get an ID of the entity generated by the game of Minthara not the generic form of her and then use a teleport command to put her in the vicinity of the trial/execution it could force the game to accept the circumstances and allow a continuance of the plot.
When I've used the debug add command and watched the cutscene I get the journal entries, rolls and etc. It's just that I'm controlling the avatar so the next animations dont queue (Sound does) and I cannot talk to her (Which may be due to being "dead" but there's an isdialogue and isinteractable command so maybe ?)
edit: I also considered using the debug add, then removing their party/companion flags and it didn't do anything at all it seems. There's also a KickCompanion flag as well as an IsLeaving flag but neither seem to do anything of note.
