Elder Scrolls Forum: Flying companions...script help

Hi scripting gurus!

I'm having a problem with my companions who fly (pixies) as a racial ability. Is there a way to get them to stay on the same level when we're just walking? Right now, when I walk down a hill, they just keep walking on the same level so they end up above me, but not far enough above me that the teleporting part of the companion script kicks in.

I don't want to remove their flying abilities because later in the TC the player will be able to levitate a lot, and I want the player to be able to keep the companions if they choose to.

I also don't want to set the teleport distance so ridiculously low that my companions will constantly be teleporting to me.

Is there a way to make them fly only when the player is levitating?

Here's the script I've been using...I'd like to improve it anyway because it's old and I didn't write it

, so any suggestions would be helpful.

Code:

 Begin 0buddyScript
short companion
short Nolore
short float
float myx
float myy
float myz
float timer
AddTopic "Join My Big Adventure!"
;addspell 0buddylevitate

if ( GetCurrentAiPackage == 3 )
  if ( GetWeaponDrawn )
  elseif ( GetSpellReadied )
  return
    elseif ( GetDistance Player > 999 )
    set timer to timer + GetSecondsPassed
      if ( timer > 9 )
      set timer to 0
      set myx to ( Player->GetPos x )
      set myy to ( Player->GetPos y )
      set myz to ( Player->GetPos z )
      SetPos x myx
      SetPos y myy
      SetPos z myz
    endif
  endif
endif


if ( GetCurrentAiPackage == 3 )
       if ( Player->GetEffect, sEffectLevitate == 1 )
          if ( GetEffect, sEffectLevitate == 0 )
             Cast 0buddylevitate player
          endif
       if ( GetEffect, sEffectLevitate == 1 )
          set myz to ( Player->GetPos z )
          SetPos z myz
       endif
    endif
  endif
endif

END
