Modifying Form Ranks quest objective

[SephyLV]

This is quest script if i understand correctly i need to change value of parameter MinRecruitment03, but how do i do it? I cant find this parameter in creation kit or maybe im looking at wrong place? Can i just replace it with number 15?

You need to be looking at MinutemenCentralScript on MinutemenCentralQuest

 

The variable is MinutemenOwnedSettlements

 

The target value is MinRecruitment03

	; waiting to hit "75%" ?
	if MinutemenProgress == 5
		if WorkshopParent.MinutemenOwnedSettlements.GetValue() >= MinRecruitment03
			setProgress(6)
		endif
	endif

If your into hacking base game scripts (ouch) then you need to open MinutemenCentralQuest, edit the value for MinRecruitment03 from 8 to whatever, as a CONST that will need the script recompiling.

 

Some notes from my fixing mod:

 

Taking ownership will count towards the MinutemenOwnedSettlements quest trigger (for taking and defending the Castle) if there is at least one settler when the next MM radiant quest is handed in to Preston which updates the quest counters. Or run option (22) Update Minutemen quest counters.

 

(7) Disabling Minuteman settlement radiant quests (kidnapping, problem with) may slow down your progress on the Minutemen quest line because your count of MinutemenOwnedSettlements will not be updating. Running option (22) will keep the quest counters lined up to trigger Take/Defend Castle.

 

(22) Update Minutemen quest counters option bumps the MinutemenCentralQuest to update recruitment quest based progress (MinutemenRecruitmentAvailable + MinutemenOwnedSettlements) as they don't always register when handing quests in to Preston, so you end up recruiting a stack of settlements without MIN02 Taking Independence starting or MIN301 Form Ranks completing.

Thanks now i get it! How do i do script recompiling after changing value?

How are you editing it ?

[SephyLV]

i did with notepad++

If you are not editing through creation kit (which would be one button), suggest you search for tutorials on "how to compile payrus scripts".

Shouldn't need to edit scripts for this. Create an overwrite plugin and change the property on the MinutemenCentralQuest.
