Problem setting

[15gudasc]

Hey guys! So I'm making a quest where there is an option to put collars on 3 certain NPCs, and when you do, it advances to the next part of the story.

 

This is what happens: You trick them into putting a slave collar on, and then they're supposed to run to a certain area. I have this script to run at dialogue:

 

Women1.giveitem SlaveCollar 1 ;this is SUPPOSED to make the NPC put a slave collar on

set WomenWithCollars + 1 ;this is SUPPOSED to add "1" to a variable in the next script down
Women1.addscriptpackage 000WWCRunToJail ;this is SUPPOSED to make then run to their destination

 

However, it doesn't do any of that! What am I doing wrong? The "WomenWithCollars" variable is determined in the next script:

 

scn 000WomenWithCollars

short WomenWithCollars

begin gamemode

if getstage 000NeSideStory < 20
if WomenWithCollars == 3
setstage 000NeSideStory 20
endif
endif
end

 

This script is supposed to set the next stage of the quest when WomanWithCollars becomes 3 (when you put 3 slave collars on NPCs). However, it doesn't do that, either. I assume it doesn't do anything because the previous script that runs during dialogue isn't working, though.

 

So what is going on? =P Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys!

DO NOT prefix EditorIDs with a numerical value or you will not be able to reference them in scripts.

DO NOT prefix EditorIDs with a numerical value or you will not be able to reference them in scripts.

That is definitely a sound advice, lutana, but numerical prefixes only become a problem when used with persistent reference IDs (in which case, the script will not even compile), and work just fine with base forms.

 

@15gudasc:

Please post the result script of the dialogue topic, exactly as it is.

I assume 000WomenWithCollars is a quest script? The script will not be processed unless the quest is running (either by having the Start Game Enabled flag, or started by StartQuest/SetStage).
