Quest Script

[bencebence]

Hey everybody!

I'd like to ask for some help.

I made a quest script for a quest; and the first half of it works perfectly. But the second half doesn't seems to be working.

Look here it is:

scn RaivenCryptQuest

Begin GameMode

if player.getincell aaaundeaddungeon1 && getstage RaivenDungeonQuest == 0
	setstage RaivenDungeonQuest 5
	addtopic undeadhelp
endif

if getstage RaivenDungeonQuest == 10
	player.addspell SummonZombieHelpers
endif

[i][b]	if BanditLeaderRef.GetDead && getstage RaivenDungeonQuest == 10
	setstage RaivenDungeonQuest 15
	addtopic UndeadEnd
	player.additem MagicalGem 1
endif[/b][/i]
End

I mean the bold/italian text part. Is the GetDead command doesn't work or what? But that can't be, because I get the MagicalGem, but not the journal update. What did I do wrong?

Thanks in advance,

bencebence

 

 

EDIT: Also I have another question. How can I most easily paint worldspaces? I'm getting tired by the CS's jump-from-one-zone-to-next-flashing thingy. I hope someone knows how to do it out there.

	setstage RaivenDungeonQuest 15
	addtopic UndeadEnd
	player.additem MagicalGem 1
endif[/b][/i]
End

I suspect the problem is the quest stage. There's no "setstage RaivenDungeonQuest 10" (Maybe it's in another script?)

Do you receive the spell "SummonZombieHelpers"? If yes, then the stage is fine.

I receive the spell (but it doesn't work :P), everything works fine apart from that, I can't reach stage 15...

What is BanditLeaderRef? Is it the BaseID of an actor?

Are there more actor with this BaseID?

He/She can respawn?

It's a referance of an actor. It's an npc, and there is only one of it. But even if there'd be more, this one is a persistent referance of that npc.

According to CS.ElderScrolls, if an actor is dead, but will respawns later, GetDead return 0 (He/She can't considered death if he/she will respawn)

He isn't essential neither will respawn...

OOPS! I missed this part!! http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/wallbash.gif

 

 

I assume you also get the new topic.

 

A possible cause could be: there's no stage 15 (maybe a typo in the stage number)

If stage 15 exists, then I don't know...http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/blink.gif

Hmpf, the problem may be that, I've set some conditions for the stage. I'll remove them and try it out.

EDIT: And anyone knows anything about the second one? he most easiest way would be to paint a texture map in Photoshop/Paint then import it. But I don't know if it's possible in Oblivion (Also don't think so it is), so is there any other way?

I'm an old-fashioned programmer, so one suggestion I'd make purely for readability is - use brackets!

 

I'm assuming that "if BanditLeaderRef.GetDead && getstage RaivenDungeonQuest == 10" is supposed to mean "if BanditLeaderRef.GetDead && (getstage RaivenDungeonQuest == 10)" rather than "if (BanditLeaderRef.GetDead && getstage RaivenDungeonQuest) == 10", but if you use brackets to be certain what is being tested you guarantee the expected result - I've seen occasions where a compiler picks the wrong priority for functions.
