Multiple Quest Giver NPC in Different Locations

[Galather]

Hello everyone, its me again.

 

 

I am doing a unique fetch quest. I had the quest giver send the player to pick up a note, that note basically asks for the player to meet the quest giver at a different location in the world.

 

At first, I tried placing two of the same character in the world, but I got a multiple npc error.

So I decided to duplicate the quest giver's character and changed the reference name, but I am still getting the same issue, despite adding him as an alias and updating my quest objectives/scenes with the new duplicate.

 

The duplicate doesn't receive a pipboy quest marker and cannot continue the quest, aside from his greeting.

 

So is there something I am missing? Or is there a better way in doing this?

 

Thanks guys!

I don't know the GECK too well, so I'm not much help but if I had your problem I would try different ways of doing the same thing. Something like using the one actor rather than making duplicates. IE either updating his/her package or perhaps using the moveto function? Or maybe you could try making duplicates that use the original as a template but don't share the same EditorID.

Potential workarounds:

 

Have gaining an item start the quest. The NPC gives you the item.

 

Then, used if the NPC duplicating, they actually teleport around the world?
