[LE] NPC won't walk to location upon completion of quest

[daxter154]

I have a custom NPC which I have hooked up to a bunch of dialog (working correctly). At some point, I complete a quest by talking to said NPC. I want this NPC to walk to a location far away (from near falkreath to just outside markarth). I make a the following script call during the final dialog topic:

getowningquest().SetObjectiveCompleted(40)
getowningquest().SetStage(50)
ActorRef.PathToReference(TargetActor, 1.0)

I know this PathToReference call is returning true (due to some debugging not visible in the snippet). But my NPC just sits there and doesnt move. The area is navmeshed, ActorRef = the actor I want to move, TargetActor is the NPC I want the ActorRef to walk to.

 

Can somebody explain what I'm doing wrong here?

I'm not sure PathToReference can be trusted, especially not with such great distances. Use a package conditioned to run when the quest is completed instead. Then run EvaluatePackage() in the dialogue script fragment.
