Changelogs
Version 2.0
- Fixed a variety of script inconsistencies: The way the bonuses of sneak skill and the backstab enchantment were calculated wrong, improved the script efficiency.
- Now if a follower has Actor value "Invisibility" == 1 and MovementNoiseMult == 0 (is muffled) will automatically have 100% of backstab a target
- Increased ranged attack bonus of ranged sneak attacks if the follower has >= 40 in sneak from a x3 to a x4 to the damage.
- To add flexibility to the stealth kills, now the alias of the follower and the target are filled dynamically, this remove the use of markers and cell edits:
1- To choose the follower that will ambush, enter in favor mode and activate the follower
2- Choose "Command the ambush" (the follower alias will be filled, and the proper calculations will be prepared). You will be still in favor mode
3- Point to the target and ambush the target (the Target alias will be filled), remember to be in sneak and undetected by the target. The target cannot be a creature and cannot be asleep.
Please provide feedback, thank you
Version 1.9a
- Added a condition on filling the follower alias for killing, the condition is IsinFavorstate, this should restrict the alias filling to specifically the follower that the player asked to kill the target. I did not tested it so please give feedback. Before this update, the mod was simply meant to be used with 1 follower.
- removed some usless cell edits
Version 1.9
- Improved quality of scripts
- Fixed issues that prevented the ability to always backstab
- Fixed conditions of scenes
- Removed all the cell and world place reference
- Now the "Ambush" text label will have different colors based on the health percentage needed to backstab a target, (white, less than 40%, Yellow 40% to < 80%, Orange >= 80% to < 100%, Red 100%)
- Improved ranged stealth kill behavior, when the target is killed, if the follower has the relative illusion skill will cast on himself muffle then invisibility.
- Fixed calculations of ranged stealth kills
- Fixed message menu accordingly
- Added help message when command a stealth kill to remind the requirements for a stealth kill.

Default is <= 40%, Sneak skill at 40 will add 10 to this %, 50 of sneak skill another 20%, and if the follower wears the shrouded hand Armor (or any armor that has the vanilla "Backstab" enchantment) will add another 30% to reach the 100%.
Base% can be edited

Version 1.4
-Ranged Sneak Attack for follower Added
THIS IS THE TUTORIAL FOR THE RANGED SNEAK ATTACK AI
-Enter in sneak mode undetected from the target you want your follower to kill, be sure you are at distance, just like you would do to sniper from afar. Be sure your follower has a bow or a crossbow.
-Enter in favor state (ask your follower a favor, Hold E button on him/her)
-No morality block is needed here,
-Point your target and command the ranged sneak attack (be sure you are still undetected).
-Assist to the barrage. The follower will attack the target untill it dies or is spotted by it.
The ranged sneak attack is double the damage, if the follower has 40+ in sneak skill is triple the damage. (Damage of the weapon multiplied)
If the follower will be spotted his Sneak Attack will fail.
Follower's sneak level will help in being less detected.
Ranged Sneak attack will work with any type of enemy.
Bow or crossbow on the follower is needed equipped on the follower.

Version 1.0a
Quick update, THIS IS ONLY THE .ESP FILE please just update the mod. Don't overwrite.
SKSE FREE This mod creates a stealth kill AI for followers.
Backstabbing
Ranged Sneak Attack
The mod should work with every follower mods. This mod is light, vanilla game friendly, vanilla HUD friendly, easy to use.
A note will be added to the player "How to kill", this note will open a message menu to handle all the options of this mod wich are:
Morality wall: Not all the npcs have the guts to kill in cold blood, this morality wall can be shifted to allow npcs to backstab.
Backstab health percentage: To be grabbed and killed easely a target should be weak, how weak depends on how many skill your follower has in sneak and certain equipment. The base health is 40% or less, sneak will increase this % at 40 to a +10% and at 50 to an added +20% (70% total) to reach the 100% your follower must wear the "Shrouded hand Armor" (or ANY EQUIPMENT with BACKSTAB ENCHANTMENT) wich will add a +30%. This % can be edited to allow followers to Always backstab with the condition required.
This is how your follower Killer AI will work: (I will upload a short video tutorial, sorry is in italian but you can understand...)
NOW WITH INIGO SUPPORT!
NOW SOFIA FOLLOWER SUPPORT!!
The conditions
Enter in sneak mode undetected from the target you want your follower to kill.
Enter in favor state (ask your follower a favor, Hold E button on him/her)
Be sure that your follower will have the guts to kill (A Morality level of 1 or less)
Point your target and command the kill (be sure you are still undetected).
Assist to the carnage.
If the follower will be spotted their Sneak Attack will fail.
Follower with high level Illusion skill will use Muffle and Invisibility to land an impossible to detect Backstab (the health percentage condition still kicks in).
Follower's sneak level will help in being less detected.
Sneak attack will work when the enemy is Humanoid (Actor Type creature are IMMUNE to stealth kills) this because of the lack of stealth kills animations. But also to be not a too overpowered capacity.
Sneak attack will work with all One Handed Weapon and Two Handed Swords.
