Definition of a each quest state?

[Smig]

I couldn't find this on the Wiki. I see these functions to determine if the quests are running, started, stopped or completed, but what does that mean exactly? Is a failed quest, completed? Or is it only completed when it's successfully completed? Is a completed quest, stopped? Is a quest on stage 0, running? Started? Started but not running? Is a quest with no journal entry stopped? Etc...

 

I guess my question can be summed up as, what exactly are the criteria for these quest states? Also, what's the implication of that in aliases, if any?

- IsCompleted should return true only if you reach a stage marked as "complete quest" (note that doesn't mean the quest isn't running, you can complete a quest and still advance stages)

 

- IsRunning mean whenever the quest is enabled, so yes even stage 0

 

- IsStarting will return true only in the few moments when you call Quest.Start() (never used it so dunno the real timing)

 

- Same for isStopping

 

- IsStopped should return true if you called a Quest.Stop(). So the quest must not be running, regardless completing, failing or other things

 

Don't take this post as a bible, i'm just guessing basing on what i work on and on how quests work

Not quite the same thing, but does anyone know what the State "Waiting on Stage" indicates in the command window?

I don't know for sure, but if there's a script fragment attached to a stage then calling SetStage can't complete until that script fragment finishes running. I'm guessing that state is showing a stage transition is in progress.
