Korodic Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 OK guys, so I'm sure we may need to do this at some point or another. But this CK is tricky, everything is pointing all over the place. I want a courier to deliver a letter to the player that kicks off a quest. I cannot seem to find what forces a courier to do so. There is a quest called WICourier, and an NPC by the same name. I went into WICourier (quest) dialogue and edited the "Letter from a friend" ... I changed the second AND to an OR so if the courier does not have the original letter from a friend in his inventory then the courier will give you my version. I placed my letter in his inventory for testing reasons. I loaded the game, and even set the WICourier quest stage to 0 (thinking it would start it). Nothing seems to be happening. Anyone else wanna give it a go? I tried comparing it to other instances which cause a courier to talk to you. I can't even find something that starts it up... or even references it...

Korodic Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 function addItemToContainer(form FormToAdd, int countToAdd = 1){adds a form item to the courier container, and increments global to turn on courier change location event quest}; debug.trace("WICourierScript: addItemToContainer()") pCourierContainer.addItem(FormToAdd, countToAdd) ;add parameter object to container incrementItemCount()endFunction This is the code I found the says it has the courier change locations, but *sigh* I can't honestly tell if it really will because I have found any code calling this function in other quest scripts...

eltucu Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I'd like to know this aswell. It could be a good kickstart for lots of possible quest mods besides the usual "To start the quest you should read a book/note that is located in..." A courier giving you a letter is much more... easy to get along with. You dont go out there in search for the particular quest, instead the quest reaches you. Much like vanilla quests when you start a new game not knowing what its out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korodic Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Well glad to see someone else actually had some interest in this subject >.> Only Yoshh bothered to talk w/ me about it. And I ended up finding the solution. It took me 7 hours. But I did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eltucu Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 lol, for making the courier give you a letter? how you do that then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korodic Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Well it involves a little sprtz of magic and a dash of sugar. Nah, I'll make a video on it in a bit, as I'm sure a lot of people would like to know how. I would hate to see it on over-kill though >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eltucu Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Great, pretty weird that Beth didnt put up a Tutorial for that in the Wiki. At least to me, while i played Skyrim before the CK came out, i always thought that the Courier would be a perfect setup for questmods, i'd have thought that Beth created it just for that purpose...

ub3rman123 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Hmm.. I think my method in Oblivion would've just been to have the guy initiate conversation with you, then call Player.additem. Can you do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korodic Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 yes and no. I'll be making the video shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
