Broken Quest; SetStage Doesnt Work!

[DiaborMagics]

Hey everyone,

 

I'm having a problem! I am doing the companion questline and after Kodlak died, I went to look for Eorlund and he was nowehere. I saw Aela, talked to her, got a job, that initiated the quest 'Striking The Heart', with ID CR09. I found Eorlund the next day after sleeping and I finished the main questline, but before I can continue with things like Totems of Hircine, I need to finish Striking The Heart. The problem? There is no quest marker, I went where I needed to go and killing everything and everyone in sight didnt work, Aela is still saying she already gave me a job and even my Journal is not updating. So I tried the SetStage CR09 20 and SetStage CR09 200 commands, plus some others, but nothing is working. This way I cannot get the totems of hircine, or do any other companions related 'job' or quest.

 

Can anyone help me? What should I do?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

PS: the 'sqv CR09' command gave me this, for as far as things are in my screen:
SilverHandTarget_var = SilverHandTarget (0009D6F8)

Succeed_var = False

Was Rejected_Var = False

- 4 Aliases for quest 'CR09' (00025252)-

REF 'questgiver' -> NONE

LOC 'camp' -> NONE

REF 'campboss' -> NONE

REF 'mapmarker' -> NONE

--- Quest State ----------

Enabled? No

State: Stopped

Current Stage: 10

Priority: 70

 

Maybe this helps?

Is it too late to go back to a previous save and restart the quest? You can also try "resetquest cr09" if you want to do it, or "sqs cr09 200" if you want to cheat.

isnt sqs cr09 200 the same as setstage? Well technically its not cheating; i killed everyone in sight including a random leader :p and aela is my follower so finding her will not be a problem. I wouldnt mind skipping it, no :p thanks for the tip. And going back would mean going back about 3 hours. The thing is this playthrough is for a let's play. would be strange to go back in time, right? :p

Yes, sqs is the same as setstage. The reason I mentioned it is because, at least on my game, I've had it where one command will work and the other won't, even though they supposedly do the same thing.

[DiaborMagics]

okay then thanks for the info mate! :D

DiaborMagics, I was laying in bed the other night and it hit me that I gave you some bad advice :sad: . sqs shows the current quest stage, it doesn't set the stage. I was thinking of something else when I wrote that and got my wires crossed. Sorry about that!

Sorry to dig this one, but it seemed cleaner than creating a new topic since my problem is almost similar.

 

I am stuck on a Companions radiant quest I can't finish. The Quest is Family Heirloom (CR06), I looted a Steel Tanto from a giant, but now I can't give it back to Vilkas. I tried :

- SetStage CR06 100/200 - doesn't work

- SetObjectiveCompleted CR06 255 0 - doesn't work (player.sqs tells me that the empty Stage 255 is in state 1, for some reason, while 100 and 200 are at 0).

 

Any attempts to put the quest at another stage fails too. It is stuck, for a reason I ignore but that really annoys me - I haven't finished the Companion Quests.

 

So, if anyone has any idea...
