jet4571 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) My bad those were the .pex files and not the .psc. the .psc isn't correct though. this is the .psc, not the same as what I copied. Scriptname Journal extends ReferenceAlias {Event OnRead() GetOwningQuest().SetStage(30) endEvent} copied: Event OnRead() GetOwningQuest().SetStage(30) endEvent If I have to manually write the code for each script then what use is the editor? compile creates something i did not do and does not work. this is f***ed up.

SkjoldBjorn Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 For the on read script i just used the default "DefaultOnReadSetQuestStagenoalias" already got properties set up for you and no need to modify the source directly.and for the QuestStage papayrus fragments kmyQuest i used this: SetObjectiveCompleted(10)setObjectiveDisplayed(15) You may not want those codes for every stage though, it depends on the quest you are running i guess. I just used this for simple quest training, scripting is not my cup of tea so it's not like i know much about it yet, a lot easier to understand the scripts here than it was in the aurora toolset though.

jet4571 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 I have those set for the kmyQuest. Thanks for the name of the default script. I will look at it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jet4571 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 defaultsetstageonplayeracquire would be the default one for picking up the key? If the 2 defaults work then that makes making the quest 100X simpler without having to deal with making the scripts. Also if theres a script error it wont be mine and i am sure to make a ton of them.

SkjoldBjorn Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Yes Acquire scripts works like a charm, i used that to update stages when my character picked up the note. I only start to script if i need something very specific to be honest.... I've made a few scripts by copy/paste strings and renaming variables to make them compile without errors, but the problem arises when a trigger does not start the event as planned, even if the script itself really do specificly tell what the trigger should do so i share your frustration when it comes to troubleshooting scripts..it is a pain in the backside with no or little background experience with scripting.

jet4571 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) Worse when the language looks like gobbledygook crappola gibberish. Anyway the quest didnt start so i messed something up somewhere. tutorial shows an empty stage 0 as the quest start... Ok got that. read note nothing happens. change start to stage 10 and the quest begins when the game loads and the note is untouched. note is marked as the target instead of the key(wrong alias for the stage). pick up note and nothing. get the key and nothing. the journal and nothing. using the console command and it works. objectives all point to the alias and the alias has the 2 default scripts. here is an exact rundown of what i am trying to do and an idea of what i did. stage 0 nothing in it. marked as the quest begin exactly like in the tutorial. stage 10 is when you pick up the note and should redirect you to Orotheim to get the key.stage10 objective has the note alias marked and some text at the top for the journal.note alias has the defaultonread script. stage 20 is when you pick up the key redirecting you back to the house to find the note.stage 20 objective has the key as the alias and journal text.key alias has the default on pick up script. stage 30 is when you pick up the journal in the house, it should redirect you to Rorikstead to talk to Mralki the bartender.stage 30 objective has the journal alias marked and text for journal.journal alias has the defaultonread script. Stage 40 uses the bendu olo tutorial. basically the introduction part with different question and answer. saying that will be perfect to him starts stage 50 and thats the end stage that completes the quest. So its back to the tutorials to find out why the stages are not updating when the objectives get met or if i am missing something completely. I think I need to make 0 or insert a stage 5 to have the note as the alias 10 the key, and 20 the journal, and 30 mralki 40 uses the dialogue. 50 is the end (as of now, it will be enabling the staff, but I need to add the markers and disable them as well as check the house upgrade quests and copy those scripts or if they all use the same then just use it with markers as the alias to enable). *edit Ok some progress here. added stage 5 with note alias rearranged the alias in the objectives because I had them all wrong. I added the scripts to the items and picking up the note started the quest and redirected me to find the key.. thats where progress ended. so back to find why the key didn't kick it to the journal.

jet4571 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) So I decided to start from scratch. deleted the old quest. saved, closed. deleted the old scripts from the folder because the editor is retarded and wont do it. opened the editor created a new quest named differently than the last one. hit the ok button open it again and then start adding the parts required. Now the editor wont create a new quest and compile scripts. the quest is there but no file created in the scripts folder.

jet4571 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 restarted my computer. started a new mod, started making a quest, followed the steps in the tutorial exactly. entered the info as it said to. hit OK the window closed, open and edit, only thing done was add a stage and log entry to get the papyrus fragment box. put this in it: SetObjectiveCompleted(20)SetObjectiveDisplayed(30) Hit compile and again same error.

jet4571 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) Above problem was fixed by verifying the CK cache. Can i please get someone to download and look at the quest and explain WHY its not working? It begins but wont roll to the next stage. http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=9512 Edited February 27, 2012 by jet4571 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
