ForceRefTo(help)

[edhelsereg]

I've been racking my brain trying to get the ForceToRef function to fill a quest alias through papyrus script.

 

My goal is to track the specific instance of an item as a quest object (so it can't be dropped) while it is equipped by the player.

 

Scriptname tempQuestItemSCRIPT extends ObjectReference

Actor property playerRef auto

Quest property myQuest auto

ReferenceAlias property myAlias auto

ObjectReference property SelfRef auto

EVENT OnEquipped(Actor akActor)

SelfRef = Self as ObjectReference

IF akActor == playerRef

IF myQuest.IsRunning()

myQuest.stop()

endIF

myAlias.ForceRefTo(SelfRef)

myQuest.start()

endIF

EndEVENT

EVENT OnUnequipped(Actor akActor)

IF akActor == playerRef

myAlias.clear()

myQuest.stop()

endIF

EndEVENT

The Quest does not start game enabled and has repeatable stages checked. The Quest contains one empty stage.

 

The Quest Alias starts empty, has a fill type of "specific reference" and has "optional" and "quest object" flagged.

 

I've tried all sorts of scripts, placing the ForceRefTo function on ObjectReference script, Quest script, and ReferenceAlias script; None of them filled the alias.
