TheWanderer001 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I know how to add quest stages and objectives and have them show in the journal but...it only shows the last one... is there a way to view previous/all stage journal entriesI have a quest with multiple stages that can be done in any order and want to see all those that have not been completed along with their related journal text entry.I'm sure I've seen it done but for the life of me I can't remember which quest it was.any help much appreciated.

cumbrianlad Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Not sure if this is quite what you're after but it's similar. The quest to collect alchemy ingredients for Ingun Blackbriar: FreeformRiften04 stage 20 sets all three objectives to display (Nirnroot, Deathbell and Nightshade) Then as the player completes each of them, three separate stages (30, 40 and 50) are used to set each individual objective completed. A script handles this and makes use of global variables to keep track of the ingredients collected by the player and also how many of those 3 objectives are completed. When they're all done it sets stage 60 which is to get the reward and complete the quest. The player can collect any of the ingredients at any time and the quest only progresses to the later stages when they're all completed. The instruction to return each set of items is also taken care of in the script attached to the quest. As far as the journal entries go, you could have everything you want to say in the equivalent of stage 20 of the above quest and then add new more relevant entries to each of the stage 30, 40 and 50 equivalents in your quest. It may be worth a look to see if that's the sort of thing you're after. I can't think of any other quests myself at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWanderer001 Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 That is more or less what I've done at the start all the objectives are set and as they are completed they are removed. The problem with the journal is you can't go back and show an entry again... it will only show the last one and then only once so once its been shown that's it gone forever :(the only way I can think of that might work is to add more quest objectives and stages and then show them in place of the original... not tried it yet... need to get all the quests working first then I'll look again at adding more clues to the journal... thanks for your input though much appreciated :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cumbrianlad Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Ah well, it was worth a shot. I'll be playing the game some time tonight. I'll keep an eye open for a quest that runs more as you are aiming for. P.S. Jessie (the cat) behaved herself admirably... no scratches anywhere! I can put that daedric Armour back in the wardrobe now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
