A bit of help please?

I'm trying to make it so that when the player starts the game, a message box will appear, give the player a note and a quest will start. How? Edited February 1, 2013 by ZenethXR70

Either mark your quest StartGameEnabled and handle it in the quest script, or use a dummy Start Game Enabled quest. Reference any one of the four story DLCs - Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, or Lonesome Road for more details.

I can't find any quests like that and I don't have any DLC

Sorry if I sound rude but that doesn't exactly help.

I tried this script but it doesn't work.

 

scn 00VacationStart

begin GameMode

if getStage 00Vacation < 1
   setStage 00Vacation 1
 endif
endif

end

First rule of modding: NEVER EDIT THE BASE ESM FILES

• FalloutNV.esm
  
• DeadMoney.esm
  
• HonestHearts.esm
  
• OldWorldBlues.esm
  
• LonesomeRoad.esm
  
• GunRunnersArsenal.esm
  
• CaravanPack.esm
  
• MercenaryPack.esm
  
• ClassicPack.esm
  
• TribalPack.esm
  

 

SECOND Rule of Modding: Never start your editorIDs with a numeric character. It confuses the script compiler.

 

So, change your mod to adhere to the second rule of modding, and try again.

No, just flag the quest as Start Game Enabled...that is all explained in that tutorial I posted.

then add the quest script:

scn VacationStart
short DoOnce

begin GameMode
   if DoOnce == 0
       showMessage The_ID_Of_Your_Message
       player.additem The_ID_Of_Your_Note
       set DoOnce to 1
   endif
end

 

What Xaranth said above and your script won't even compile because you have 2 endifs and only 1 if.

scn VacationStart
short DoOnce

begin GameMode
   if DoOnce == 0
       showMessage VacationStartMessage
       player.additem VacationCode
       set DoOnce to 1
   endif
end

 

Thanks for the code but whenever I save it says

SCRIPT: Script 'VacationStart', line 7

Missing parameter count.

Compiled script not saved

 

Doesn't matter, I fixed it by changing additem to addnote

 

(I'm using GECK powerup)

yeah additem needs a count so in this case it would be "player.additem VacationCode 1" Edited February 1, 2013 by DizzasterJuice
