Change Location Event Not Working with exterior locations?


Recommended Posts

âhey everyone.

I'm having a bit of trouble with the SM event node, change location event, not working for all locations.

I'm making a quest in which a follower I've made (that you find in solstheimâ) is supposed to force greet the player, telling you they can hear a weird voice in their head and asks you help them investigate it's origin. this is supposed to trigger a few in-game days after you take them back to Skyrim for the first time, but I can't get it to trigger properly (or get the timer to work but that's not my priority right now). The way I have it set up right now, is that this scene (where the follower Force Greets you) will start when the quest starts, and the quest is started when the follower is currently following you, and the player changes location to anywhere in the Tamriel world space, which from what I understand is supposed to be any exterior cell excluding DLC's right? I've removed the several days delay I mentioned earlier until I can get this trigger working.

When this didn't work, I decided to test different locations, to see if the location I'd set was what caused the issue, and it seems to be the case. I got it working by changing the location to various inns or other interior cells. All the interior cells worked perfectly, and the force greet scene triggered in any interior cell I tried when it was supposed to. When I tried it on exterior cells, it didn't work, with the exception of the Raven Rock location for some reason. I tried various cities, holds, and random locations/cells that were considered exteriors and nothing worked except interior locations, and raven rock.

The desired result would be that the quest will trigger as soon as you go to any exterior location (be that a city, a town or somewhere in the wilderness). There is a scenario, based on the player's actions in a previous quest (where they become a potential follower) that the follower will go the Skyrim by themselves (specifically to Riften) and because most players use fast travel, I want to make it so that moving to any exterior location in Skyrim (not including Solstheim) could trigger it, not just the windhelm docks, which is where you have to go when returning the Skyrim from solstheim. so is "TamreilLocation" the right location for what I want to do?â if not, what should it be? if so, what am I doing wrong to stop it from triggering, but only if exterior locations are used? I'm really stuck and could really use a hand figuring this out.

Bellow I've attached a screenshot of the SM event Node Window and scene window where you can see what i've got. I think I've included everything relevant to the issue in the pic, if not just let me know, I'll break it down or show anything I've missed :smile:
Thanks in advance!
