Courier Script Help

[FalloutBeast]

So, I am not too good with papryus. I was able to do some things here and there with help but now I am stuck. I am trying to make a quest and have it start by courier coming to give you an item;however, after looking at WIcourier and the scripting in other quests like that, I am just confused on how to continue. Any help would be great, thanks.

Well, I will try.

 

For an example go into the quest MS06.

 

You only need this line of code to use in your script "(CourierQuest as WICourierScript).AddItemToContainer(YOUROBJECTHERE)"

 

Make sure you add CourierQuest and your object to the properties window.

 

Getting him to say what you want requires a little more explanation.

 

Go into WICourier quest, look at the dialogue. Then right click (my example will be letter from a friend) and then you will see his default stuff. Make sure you add the right OR/AND configuration, and add your object to the list of conditionals, which will make him say that specific line when he delivers it. Doing so is not recommended as it may cause incompatibility with other mods.

 

You're welcome.

Well... i tried adding just that code but i get this error:

 

Starting 1 compile threads for 1 files...

i think you just forgot to set properties here. That is why its undefined. Same goes for:

 

 

"" (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\QF_ToD01_02005697.psc(18,53): variable ToDFlyer is undefined""

 

 

set them correctly by going into quest tab, --->Script---->YourScript---->Properties-----> and there you should have them laying there :)

[Korodic]

Yes. If you are unsure of what "properties" are in Papyrus, they are basically variables. You can fill in values to those variables in the "properties window". If the properties are not there, it will give you errors basically saying "IDK WTF THE VARIABLE YOU JUST USED WAS DDDDAWWWWWWGGG"

So I got the script compiled. it is this:

 

Scriptname RoD01 extends Actor

Book Property RoDFlyer01 Auto

Quest Property CourierQuest Auto

Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)

(CourierQuest as WICourierScript).AddItemToContainer(RoDFlyer01)

EndEvent

 

 

But when i go to add the fragment code for the event in the quest stage....I, well, am lost. I tried putting the

(CourierQuest as WICourierScript).AddItemToContainer(RoDFlyer01), but that doesn't work. So now my question is how do i use the script i made and have it referenced and used in the quest stage.

 

haha i really suck with papyrus :sweat:
