[LE] onRead not working

[javaplaza]

Scriptname a027_QSuDBookScript extends ObjectReference  
Quest Property QSuDBookProp  Auto  
Quest Property MyQuest Auto
Int Property readStage Auto


Event OnRead()
MyQuest.SetStage(readStage)
EndEvent

The script is attatched to the item i duplicated a Letter/Note and created an alias within the quest.

 

I also tried attaching it to the alias instead, it didn't start up.

 

Properties set correctly, stages are setup correctly to my knowledge.

 

SEQ is new, and the only other alias within the quest is the satchel its inside of.

 

Thanks in advance, I can't see any reason for this not to work.

 

(also im not interested in an onContainerChanged as a replacement. it has to be read/opened)

ive tried start game enabled and without

ive tried moving the script to the alias, no help

 

..im wondering if ive missed a step, like a checkbox in the alias tab that needs to be on

i didn't miss a single step from the yt tutorial tho

this is by far one of the more simple things to do,

so i really appreciate any help i get

here are screenshots of the alias tab, the alias window for the letter, and the properties.

Are the scripts in the correct place in the folder of the skyrim you are testing from?

Skyrim>Data>Scripts

I think you had this issue before. Aliases are filled from top of the list to bottom, so the Satchel needs to be above the note in order to get filled.

eesh i thought it was the other way around. this makes sense but i switched them and its still not running

 

i should add i had another event directly under it , could they be messing with each other or is it alright they are in the same script?

Event OnContainerChanged(ObjectReference akNewContainer, ObjectReference akOldContainer)
	if (akNewContainer == Game.GetPlayer())
		MyQuest.setStage(takeStage)
	EndIf
EndEvent

What I am trying to do ::

 

onRead set stage 10 (Start up Stage)

onContainerChanged set stage 20 (Complete Quest)

[javaplaza]

i have taken off the OnContainerChanged to see what happened and onRead still doesn't do anything

 

however it seems ^^ this will work once i get onRead to start the quest.

 

still searching for answers in forums/guides

 

thanks

Is the event OnContainerChanged firing properly?

[javaplaza]
