SSE Bard won't quit playing

[ChewNTobacca]

Made a custom bard. She lives elsewhere and is supposed to go play/sing at the inn from 18 to 23. at 18:00, she will go to the inn and start playing. But then when she is supposed to go home and go to sleep, she will eventually make it home while playing the whole way there. Once she gets there she continues to play inevitably. I kind of used Sven's package as a backup guideline, and my package is very much similar. I've got the play spot marker and she uses it just fine, just doesn't ever stop once she starts playing.

 

Obviously I missed something. If anyone has any advice, I am always grateful.

 

Thanks,

Chew

Take a look at all of Sven's factions and ranks. I think it has to do with that.

[ChewNTobacca]

I did that too. His "BardSingerFaction" is set to -1, so (I believe) there has to be something that activates his faction. So naturally when I set my bard to the -1 she won't play at all. When set to 0, she will play nonstop and never do anything until the player tells her to take a break. Then when given the NoAutostart variant, she will start when prompted and never stop. Even when given a schedule, she starts on time then won't stop. In other words, she will start however I desire but never stop.

Try setting the faction rank then with your begin faction script fragment. So the begin fragment would be akActor.SetFactionRank(BardSingerFaction, 0) then the Change and End fragements set to -1.

Thanks for your suggestions once again. I've actually not fiddled with scripts to any degree, but it sounds like I should learn. I'll do some homework and see if I can't figure this thing out.
