Making an Object Appear Mid-Quest?

[katethegreat19]

I'm scripting a Quest and would like an object (a chest) to appear at a certain Quest Stage in a specific location. Not quite sure how to do this, any help is appreciated!

Ok, keeping in mind that my actual scripting knowledge is approximately zilch, what I believe you would need to do would be to set up the chest as initially disabled, and then have a script that enabled it when you reached the correct quest stage.

 

Have you tried looking around the CS Wiki? There is a lot of scripting information there.

Yeah, there are a few methods, but starting it initially disabled is probably the most obvious. Anyway, first create a container and stick some items in it. Then drag it into the cell you want it. Give the chest a reference editor id (like: mychestref), make it a persistent reference and select initially disabled. Then as said, just do a mychestref.enable when necessary and you're done.

 

I personally prefer to just do a PlaceAtMe though.

Both of you, thank you very much!!! I can't believe Disabling didn't occur to me. o_O I will look up what a PlaceAtMe is and try that out too.

 

 

@Nephenee13 Yes I've been reading in the Wiki quite a bit this month, but the information is pretty vast... If you haven't read the whole thing, and you don't know exactly what command or function will do what you need, it's a little daunting when you have a direct question ;_; So thank you very much for your help!
