Quest Scripting - A Little Help

[Deleted2746547User]

I'm working on a mod but I've run into a little confusion when it comes to Quest Scripting. I'm using Quest "accomplishments" to enable the construction of player buildings, award improvements, etc. but am a bit lost (and yes, I've read the forums).

 

First thing: I need to write a script so an NPC will approach the Player after he exits the Doc's House in Goodsprings. The npc will join the player and give him the first Quest.

 

The primary quest will include: having a series of player "home" improvements/additions (tied to "markers") become enabled as the player completes various stages in the first mission/and after he speaks with specific NPCs.

 

A little advice ?

 

Thanks

One major issue I'm having is with a "power" script. That is, I set up a Quest that handles the "power" for lights, computers, etc. at the base I'm constructing in my mod.

Once you provide fission batteries that enables a script that will allow you to turn on various light switches, etc. throughout the base. however, once you run out of batteries (batteries convert to "fuel" in the script) the lights turn off and you have to provide more. etc.

 

Anyway, I had it working correctly before but now, I can't get it working. not sure if its b/c of a change in link ref or enable ref or WHAT.. but i'll include the scripts so hopefully someone can help me figure out what im missing....

 

One script is part of the BASE QUEST ..

the second handles the "fuel" tank

and the light script (last) is activated when you turn on various light switches (lights are tied to markers ... when you turn on a light swtich it turns on all the light enabled by a particular marker) The marker is enabled if there is fuel in the tank.

 

Again, I had it working and cant figure out what I changed... (jnitially disabled, enable parent, link ref or what)

 

If you want to look at the mod/esp >>> look at the Restoration movement mod in my signature.

 

THANKS!!!!!!!!!
