Problems with Tes Construction

[Arkantos]

I am new here. I want to ask you something and help me please. Look I have tried with every tutorial to make any quest but when I finish it and try to test it Says something like this "Journal tried to become topic" and then it doesn't work.

Even this is with choices when I try to make two or three choices and then click

example Yes No and the ask is can you send me there

if I click yes it repeats the ask and then this does again with no. Help me.

If I wrong with the language do ask me because I do not know english very well .

I am from Albania.

The journal trying to become topic error message is most likely caused by having a series of deleted topics at the top of both the topic and journals list (and they do crop up, even if you haven't deleted any topics or journals!). It's easily cured - open the dialogue editor, check for EMPTY - DELETED entries at the top of the list, re-load the plugin, and save. The empty entries should be gone. If any persist, load and save again.

 

The 3 most likely reasons for your problems with the choices are

 

- you've put the choice responses - ie the answers you expect to get when you select one of your choices - BELOW the entry that gives you the choice. The game reads responses from the top down and selects the first condition for which all conditions are met. In the list of entries for a topic, the responses to the choices offered must be entered ABOVE the entry giving you the choice

 

- you have not indexed your choices correctly, the game cannot find the response you want and defaults to one for which the conditions are correct

 

- you have attached conditions to the choice responses which are not fulfilled. Again, the response you want is not given, and the game defaults to the first one it comes across for which the conditions are correct, which would be the entry giving you the choice

 

Dialogue bugs can be a nightmare to trace - good luck :)

If you also have a journal error it could sometime (not always) mean you did not place a topic in the jouranl as Finished, but thats not always the case

 

and since I am lazy about reading I for choices put the functions like this

 

choice 3

choice 2

choice 1

 

in that order, personally I don't know if it matters, but I always get good results, more pratice with TES CS will get you better, make simple quests, like have the player get something or kill someone. Instead of doing major ones :D

Anyway, if you have any more ?'s please ask ;)
