[LE] How can I put a new script in a quest?

[Shadow9605]

Hi everyone.

 

I want to put a new script in the quest PlayerVampireQuest I do this:

 

1) I make the new script an put it in the quest PlayerVampireQuest the event OnUpdateGameTime to add a new aptitd to the player but it but it doesn't work

 

2) To see if the problem was my code I copy all the script of PlayerVampireQuestScript an paste in my new script and add the new aptitud for the player but it doesn't work too

 

3) I add the new aptitud in PlayerVampireQuestScript and if it worked

 

So I don´t kno wwhy the new script in the quest doesn´t work Can someone can help me?

Are you testing on a new game? Or at least on a game where the PlayerVampireQuest has not already been started?

 

Once a quest has started all attached scripts are "baked in", some minor changes can be done to the existing scripts but no new scripts will be recognized until the quest has been stopped and restarted. Given that not all quests can safely be stopped and restarted without causing other issues, it is always best to test on a new game or at the very least a save that does not have any of the associated things already active.

Yes, I know that and that's why I deleted the saved documents and restart the game and do all the quest unbound and then I search a vampire to activate the quest PlayerVampireQuest

Why don't you explain with simple words and in order what you want to achieve, maybe someone could provide assistance easily if she / he knows the objective, and the solution could have a different approach or application.

I want to add a new vampire aptitud using a spell but I don´t want to edit the original script PlayerVampireQuestScript in the quest PlayerVampireQuest (Although I have already done it like that and works perfect but I don't want to do it like this) so I want to add a new script in in the quest PlayerVampireQuest to add the aptitud that I make.

That's the point.

 

Usually you have to create a new quest with CK and there add a new alias filled with unique player as reference. That means you should have after that an own "<modname>.esp" file in data folder.

Because of your "aptitud" spell this should be already done.

 

Now add next script to this alias (name it as you like, but unique as possible)

Scriptname Shadow9605PlayerAliasAptitudScript extend ReferenceAlias

  Keyword PROPERTY isVampire auto    ; vanilla keyword

  Spell PROPERTY myAptitud auto      ; the spell you have created for player as vampire

  Bool PROPERTY bSpellDone auto       ; [default=False]
