Making a Script Alias Permanent ?

[Karel2015]

Ok, I can set an NPC to a quest Alias, It all works fine, Except when reloading the game they are no longer part of the Alias, I have to re-add them to it. How can I make them remain linked to the Alias... After setting them to the alias it all works, but then after saving and loading again they are no longer a member of the alias

 

 

 

 

 
RefCollectionAlias Property ApprenticeAlias Auto Const Mandatory
 
RefCollectionAlias Property ArmorerAlias Auto Const Mandatory
 
Event OnEquipped(Actor akActor)
If(iButton == 0)
ApprenticeAlias.AddRef(akActor)
ElseIf(iButton == 1)
ArmorerAlias.AddRef(akActor)
EndIf
EndEvent

I haven't gotten much into scripting for quests, but you might have to link it to a quest alias (the scripting things for quests) to have it set as permanent.

I would reference this mod's (http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/14966/?) scripts for what you're looking for.

I do link it to a quest alias using the property. The problem is that it doesn't stay in the quest alias when you save and re-load

Why are you using Const?

Auto Properties

By adding the word "Const" at the end of a property definition, you are telling the game that the value will not change once it has been set by the editor. The compiler will make sure you cannot change the property's value, and the game will ignore any value in the save game recorded for the property. This allows you to change the value of a property in the editor, and have the change be reflected in the game, even if you load a save game. Properties made via the editor will be const by default.

Have you Ctrl+Shift+R on the alias to allow them to be reserved?

While the const issue could be the culprit. I became aware of a ForceRef function. If changing the const to auto doesn't resolve it you might try using ForceRef instead of AddRef. That's how the script that changes dogmeat's name works. Caveat I see, is that (if there exists a RemoveRef) you'd have to do another ForceRef to put a previous setting back.

Problem with not using Const, Is that it doesn't work on Auto.

Yep, and indeed all scripts from my mod do not use Const and all use Auto. I wonder how did you managed to make them "not work".
