Editing Minutemen Radiant Quest: disabling forced quest acception

[crysisguy]

After looking through the minutemen's radiant quests in CK, it seems like in those radiant quest it forces player to accept the quest by those 2 quest stages:

• "Player has accepted the quest" (Preston!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: )
• "Radio gives initial objective"

Just out of curiosity, would it be possible to change the quest stage from "Player has accepted the quest" to "Player didn't take initial" so that player has to manually accept the quest instead the quest being forced upon? or additional scripting is required?

 

thanks in advance.

Though based on my spotty Fallout: New Vegas knowledge it looks like you have the following flow from possible entry points:

 

40 (Radio gives initial objective) leads to 50 (Preston gives initial objective) which leads to 20 (Player has accepted quest).

 

OR

 

50 (Preston gives initial objective) which leads to 20 (Player has accepted quest).

 

If you just want to make it so you no longer receive a quest you will eventually automatically fail my impression is that quest stage 20 is responsible for starting the quest failure timer. You could modify the script fragment by commenting out:

kmyQuest.SetTimeOutStatus(true, true)

See if that has the desired results -- you should still be able to fail the quest later on based on a timer, but only after you hit stage 80 or 100 which is after the player has actually gone to the settlement and offered assistance. If that doesn't work you could try:

kmyQuest.SetTimeOutStatus(false, true)

That should disable the timeout but reset the elapsed time.

 

Ultimately you could also take the route other mods have and just set a very high reset time so that it's only theoretically possible to fail the quest.

 

Hope that helps!

 

Edit: I actually noticed later that day that there's literally a variable that controls time-out behavior easily toggled on and off for the quest script. So you could use that instead of my convoluted suggestion. Yeah. Sorry for the time-wasting suggestion!
