SSE Simple collect items quest

[citronblood]

Hi,

 

I am making a simple quest where the player has to collect an X number of items. One of the items is Wheat. So how do I go about tracking the progress? I think it should be like a OnItemAdded script?

 

I've never made a quest before, only dialogue, so I don't really know how to update the quest logs and do the objectives.

 

Basically, I've figured out that I can create a dialogue which only activates when you have enough of the items in your inventory by using the conditions tab in the dialogue, and remove the items upon completing that dialogue. What I need is only the tracking.

 

If anyone can run me through the process of figuring that out? Thank you.

I find looking at how Bethesda handled such quests to be a good starting point. To that end the following would be a good quest to examine:

You can look at it in SSEEdit but to make real sense of it, you'll need to see it in the Creation Kit. I just used SSEEdit to look it up real quick to get the ID # and Editor ID Name.
