How do I advance a quest by placing a unique item in a unique container?

[knightfluttershy]

I've found out how to advance a quest on pick up by using "GetPlayer", but when I create an identical script except

replace "GetPlayer" with "GetForm(FormID)", nothing happens at all. Am I doing something wrong here?

Hey, instead of using Getform(FormID) just use an objectReference property and pick your container. Or, you could put a script directly on your container. It would look something like:

 

 

 

Scriptname MyModQuestContainerScript extends ObjectReference 

Form Property MyUniqueItem Auto 
Quest Property MyQuest Auto 

Event OnInit() 
    AddInventoryEventFilter(MyUniqueItem)
EndEvent

Auto State Waiting

    Event OnItemAdded(Form akBaseItem, int aiItemCount, ObjectReference akItemReference, ObjectReference akSourceContainer)
        If (akSourceContainer as actor) == Game.GetPlayer()
            MyQuest.SetStage(20) 
            GoToState("Done")
        Endif 
    EndEvent 
EndState 

State Done 
EndState

Name the script something more unique, and don't forget to fill properties in the creation kit.

Thanks for the response. I created the objectreference property for the container and put it in, but it still doesn't seem to do anything. Would you mind perhaps giving me the full script for that?

Can you post your original script? Putting the script I posted directly on your container should work.
