How can I make a certain NPC disappear and another NPC appear instead

[macaren15]

This is what I tried so far and it doesn't work:

 

 

 

scn 000OceanusCityFIRSTQuest

short escape

Begin gamemode

FlintREF2.disable 1

if getstage 000OceanusFirstMission 4

FlintREF2.enable 1

FlintREF.disable 1

endif

end

 

NOTE: The GECK does accept the script, it just isn't working in-game

 

Any help would be appreciated

It's not through dialogue is it?

 

Ok, if so, create a new cell. Best would to just duplicate 1ECisternA

In that cell, create a new XMarker. Put it in the render window and double click it. Type in a reference id e.g: NPCSwapMarker

Now, where your npc is standing, create another XMarker and reference it something like OriginalMarker

 

scn 000OceanusCityFIRSTQuest

 

short escape

Short DoOnce

Short Flint1Disabled

 

Begin GameMode

if (DoOnce != 1)

Set Flint1Disabled to 1

FlintREF1.MoveToMarkerWithFade NPCSwapMarker

FlintREF2.MoveToMarkerWithFade OriginalMarker

endif

end

 

That should work. Tell me if there's any problems

You broke the second rule of modding: Never begin an EditorID with a numeric Char.

 

If you try to explicitly reference an EditorID that begins with a numeric char in a script, the script treats the EditorID as a formID.

[luthienanarion]

GetStage only takes one argument. Also, as Xaranth pointed out, you cannot begin editor IDs with numeric characters.

Also, don't start with FlintREF2.disable 1, flag the reference as "Initially Disabled" instead.

The line if getstage 000OceanusFirstMission 4 should be if getstage OceanusFirstMission == 4

After FlintREF.disable you need to add FlintREF.markfordelete (disabled objects remain in memory)
