[LE] Skyrim modding help - Goat quest

[masternoxx]

Greetings my fine feathered friends, I am starting playing some Skyrim finally, I know late to the party right? Well I have done some Oblivion scripting but I am not able to figure this one out..

(sorry if this is posted in the wrong area? I thought there used to be a scripting help section?)

 

Basically I got to Rorikstead and did the drinking game, and blacked out, its clearly a quest inspired by the hangover movie. Anyways you go back to Rorikstead and the redguard farmer Ennis is mad at you because you stole his goat.

 

Well what I want to do is make him non-essential but not until after he tells you about the letter telling you to see Ysolda in Whiterun which is quest stage 85. I would like to do it with a script command but the Alias references are messing me up. I have tried,

 

;Alias_DA14Ennis.Clear()

didn't work hes still immortal

;Alias_DA14Ennis.GetActorRef().SetEssential(false)
;DA14EnnisBaseActorProperty.SetEssential(false)

failed to compile

 

Also I would like to make it harder to intimidate or persuade him, so that you have to go get the goat most times.

 

Thank you for any help.

[HeyYou]

The various CS 'help' forums got moved to their respective game forums a while back. Reasoning being: everyone benefits from them being more accessible.

 

I have no clue about scripting in Skyrim though. :D

;DA14EnnisBaseActorProperty.SetEssential(false)

 

I would think this is the only line you would need, but just to check go to his actual REF_ALIAS and make sure his essential box isn't on. If this serves me correctly, he will be essential while he is in this alias. And remove the semicolon as this makes whatever you've written a comment.

 

Also I would like to make it harder to intimidate or persuade him, so that you have to go get the goat most times.

 

Instead of explaining - i'm just going to link to this excellent CK wiki tutorial instead to clearly illustrate how to go about doing this.
