Just need help with a script...or a quest. not sure exactly

I am remodeling Skyrim. Lots of it. Including the Inns. One of the things i want to do with them, is have a variety of different room.

 

For Instance. You go into the Bannered Mare, you can rent a communal room with common beds for 10 Septims per night. Very basic, and you will have to share with anyone who wants to come by. No food is included.

You can rent a slight better room, with 2 upper beds for 25 S per night, and it includes some food (basically an activator in the room to switch out the owned food with unowned food when this option is chosen)

Or you can do the best room in the house with a full sized noble bed, reading desk, private deck area, food, etc, for 50 S per night.

 

Possibly also a version so that you can get the best room for yourself, and rent one of the other rooms for followers, not sure yet.

 

I have the building laid out. I have the xmarkers in place...I have read several tutorials on how to create quests and dialogue...and I am still very confused.

I even tried taking apart Realist Room Rental to see if I could figure out how they did it...but it gets confusing with the staying multiple nights, and did not really help me in any way. It did remind me about using xmarkers to switch out objects when a quest was activated. But I am still confused about how to select different options.

 

So...I am at a loss. I just need to find out how to do this for the Bannered Mare, and then, I should be able to replicate it for the other Inns. I already have the rest of the building done (I think, But this is what is really holding up being done with Whiterun for me.

 

If someone could give me some advice, or point me towards a tutorial that is not going to be "How to create a custom follower with voice". Hell, if someone wants to try to hold my hand and walk me through how to do this. I am just very lost at this point, and I would appreciate any help I can get.

 

I put up some pics for an example. This is still a WIP though, and I need to make a few patches (like for Interesting NPCs) And fix some lighting issues.

Some quests are literally quests, while others are just "dialogue holders." Quests are really cool in that you can start scripts on game start, or wait until you start the quest. The game can automatically start a quest with the Story Manager (usually if certain aliases change a lot like for room rentals or radiant quests), or you can use scripts to start a quest.

 

Maybe you can start with something simple, like the vanilla rental system and examine that. I'm not sure where it might be; try searching "Inkeeper" or "Dialogue" in the object window. If not, find an inkeeper npc, right click "Use Info" and see if any quests reference him/her.
