Gave up and just made the keys 4 separate miscellaneous quests. Works like a charm, and it's not a big deal to me that it's not a full-on side quest anymore. Thanks for your help though!

Okay, I attached that script to the quest alias for PlayerRef. Only got one error: Starting 1 compile threads for 1 files... Compiling "HouseKeyQuestPlayer"... C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\Source\Scripts\temp\HouseKeyQuestPlayer.psc(37,4): UpdateCurrentInstanceGlobal is not a function or does not exist No output generated for HouseKeyQuestPlayer, compilation failed. Batch compile of 1 files finished. 0 succeeded, 1 failed. Failed on HouseKeyQuestPlayer I did of course rename my global variables to match your script too, but as you can see that's not the problem. Do I need to use the script extender for this function to work?

I'll give that a shot later today and get back to you. Thank you!

Thanks for your help so far. I've been trying everything to make this work for 9 hours straight now and STILL nothing, unfortunately. I might just have to come up with a different way to handle this stage. The issue with these two quests is that the objective is to collect a certain amount of a generic item. With my quest, you have to collect 4 different unique items, which I think is what's complicating things. I did try looking through those quests and their objectives, stages, and scripts to see if I could apply anything to my quest, but it just brought up more questions and uncertainties. I really have no idea how Global Variables work. My first solution was to put the defaultCounter script on one of the key aliases, (putting it on a quest just doesn't work) then adding the defaultcounterincrementonactivate script to that same key alias and the 3 others (tagging them all with the keyword "mhquestkeys" and having the counterincrement script point to it). No dice. As for the OnContainerChange Event, I don't think there's a default script that deals with that, which complicates things even further since I know literally nothing about writing my own scripts. I've been doing my research on how to use it, but I think I'm burned out and the information is just not sinking in (or maybe i'm just too dumb for this lmao). I also tried to add the code SetObjectiveDisplayed(21) SetObjectiveDisplayed(22) SetObjectiveDisplayed(23) SetObjectiveDisplayed(24) SetObjectiveCompleted(10) if IsObjectiveCompleted(21) == 1 IsObjectiveCompleted(22) == 1 IsObjectiveCompleted(23) == 1 IsObjectiveCompleted(24) == 1 SetStage(100) endif to stage 20, but it won't even compile, saying C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\Source\Scripts\temp\QF_MHKeyQuest_060780CF.psc(92,24): cannot initialize a globalvariable to 0 No output generated for QF_MHKeyQuest_060780CF, compilation failed.I'm at my wits end here!

I thought about that, but still have no idea how to go about it. Any suggestions? Sorry, I'm REALLY new to this stuff.

Hey all. Couldn't find any help with this anywhere, which is unusual because you'd think it'd be a fairly common question. Anyway, I'm having trouble with getting a quest to advance past a certain stage where there are multiple objectives. I'm working on a mod that adds several player homes, and there's a single quest involved where you have to find the keys to the front door of each house before gaining entry. The specific thing I can't figure out is how I mark the "key-finding" quest stage as completed once all the keys are found. You can grab the keys in any order since they're all part of the same quest stage (though separate objectives, obviously). Marking each objective as complete works fine, separately. But is there a script or other solution I could use to mark that entire stage as complete and advance to the next one once all four keys are found? I've added all the keys to a new FormList in hopes of figuring something out with that, but my modding capabilities and knowledge are very limited, so I'm not sure where to go from there, or if it's even necessary/efficient. EDIT - Even more details for clarification: Stage 20 is the stage I can't progress past. Objectives 21, 22, 23, & 24 are "Find key 1", "Find key 2", etc. Like I said, the individual objectives are marked as complete once I pick up the corresponding key, but once all are found, the quest isn't progressing past stage 20.

I'm starting my first quest mod for Skyrim, and I'm having a bit of trouble getting the quest started. I want it to be acquired after activating (reading) a note that you find in a specific location. I've searched the web, and I can't find a solution. I've tried applying this script to the note: Scriptname OnReadStartQuest extends ObjectReference Quest Property myQuest Auto event onRead() myQuest.Start() endEvent ...but to no avail. Even using console commands isn't working. (I don't get any errors, but nothing happens.) It's been driving me crazy, so any help is appreciated.
