Quest Won't Advance After Killing NPC

[lubronbrons]

haha sorry !

I'm just small time modder from TES 4

yoo Dubious !

could you tell us what is syntax for debugging ? in Oblivion (TES 4) the OBSE syntax for print out to console is printc, so what is similar syntax in FO 4 ??

 

hey Ranger,

maybe you could look for it in here

[lubronbrons]

oh.. ! I think I found it

ShowWarning

http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php?title=ShowWarning

This gives the ability to print a message to the warnings.txt file, which is useful for debugging and tracing script flow.

scn VAAMorganQuestScript



short bLetterDelivered    

short bBrookGreeted

short bBrooksFollow     



short sh1



begin GameMode

	Set sh1 to GetStage AAAMorganQuest

	ShowWarning "AAAMorganQuest stage %g" sh1

	if sh1 == 10

		ShowWarning "YAY ! now AAAMorganQuest is stage 10"

		AAACathyRef.Enable

		AAAChaseRef.Enable

	elseif sh1 == 50

		ShowWarning "YAY ! now AAAMorganQuest is stage 50"

		AAAByronRef.disable

		AAAByronRef.MarkForDelete

	elseif sh1 == 90

		ShowWarning "YAY ! now AAAMorganQuest is stage 90"

		AAACassiusRef.enable 

		AAALegionSpy01Ref.enable

		AAALegionSpy02.enable

	endif



	if AAACassiusRef.GetDead * AAALegionSpy01Ref.GetDead * AAALegionSpy02Ref.GetDead

		ShowWarning "YAY ! now AAAMorganQuest is stage 100"

		Set bBrookGreeted to 1

		SetStage AAAMorganQuest 100

	endif

end

I think it maybe because I don't have a script for what happens to the NPC's after death. Problem is when I go to create the script it just say that the Begin OnDeath script has a mismatched begin and end block.

ahh... so my guess is right, this is quest progression issue

the stage is stuck at certain number so the validation is never got right

 

btw

just now I found out that syntax ShowWarning is unreliable & not working (this article http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php?title=Talk:ShowWarning)

I suggest that you test it, and monitor the quest stage, it is stuck or not. if stuck then you should search the culprit & fix it

 

better use ShowMessage

It is a quest progression issue. It just won't progress after killing the NPC's. I looked over some of Someguy2000's scripts to how he was able to get a quest to progress after killing a NPC but the problem is is that the GECK won't let me save Begin OnDeath script.

[lubronbrons]

again

I suggest that you post full script OnDeath

also...

script that contain syntax something like this --> if ( bBrookGreeted == 1 )

I'm curious because I could guess that is where the problem lies

[lubronbrons]

Ranger...

this is just a wild guess

but I found out that syntax printc & PrintToConsole is exist in Fall Out Geck ---> here http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php?title=Printc

you said you can't save the script ?

then... it means you don't have FOSE correctly installed in your setup

I think you should install this before proceed

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/8606

make sure you installed it correctly

I'm pretty sure if you did it right, that script OnDeath will work... printc will work... and everything else will

[RangerBoo]

There shouldn't be a problem. I just type my new script name which works fine but when I write Begin OnDeath the script won't let me save it saying that there is a mismatched begin and end block.

 

I don't think I have the script extender. Just NVSE. Does this work for New Vegas?

[lubronbrons]

woops sorry again my bad,

I mean NVSE

hmm... this is strange issue... because if you open geck & encounter can't-save-script issue on some syntax, usually this is because the script extender is not correctly installed

the GECK or CS or CK need dll from script extender so it can recognized the NEW syntax, that's why they are called script extender (in TES 4 called OBSE -- Oblivion script extender)

sorry in this point I can't help you more, because I only own Oblivion copy. never played FO series in my entire life~

[RangerBoo]

I have NVSE installed correctly. I am at my wits end with this.

 

Update: Wait, I think I was able to get it to save with the help of JIP LN NVSE Plugin.
