[SKY] How to add actors to alias?

[allidoischill]

Hi everyone! So I'm trying to use aliases to get the game to shove new packages onto an actor as the actor is being assigned into a faction and teleported to another room. Here is the script for the button that triggers the stuff.

Scriptname ZCIVbutton1 extends ObjectReference

Faction Property ZCIVFACTIONprisoner Auto

GlobalVariable Property ZCIVinitiate1 auto

ObjectReference Property ZCIVini001 Auto

ObjectReference Property ZCIVprisonmarkerr Auto

EVENT onactivate(objectReference akActionRef)

float mark1 = ZCIVinitiate1.getvalue()

if mark1 == 1

ZCIVinitiate1.Setvalue(0)

Actor closest1 = Game.FindClosestActorFromRef(ZCIVini001, 5.0)

closest1.moveTo(ZCIVprisonmarkerr)

closest1.SetRestrained(false)

closest1.SetFactionRank(ZCIVFACTIONprisoner, 1)

RegisterForSingleUpdate(1)

else

debug.trace("There is no one in cell 1!")

endif

endevent

So the set faction part works and the teleport works, but I still do not understand how to put the actor into the alias list. I thought that registering for single update and having the alias condition require the faction would be enough, but it does not seem to be the case. The location reference thing I put in doesn't seem to be showing up. Is there a papyrus script that I could use that would just stick the actor I am moving right into the quest alias? I have tried reading the tutorials, but they have not been helpful on my specific matter.

Thanks very much!

Also, I have a second update quest with the following script on it. I don't think it does anything

Scriptname ZCIVprisonerupdate extends Quest

Quest Property ZCIVprisoner Auto

Event OnInit()

RegisterForUpdate(5)

EndEvent

You have to have your quest made. 

Open your quest.

Click on alias tab and tell it if your npc is going to be forced (choose a unique character) or is

going to magically appear at a certain stage.

I think you can do it via script with the function ForceRefTo(ObjectReference therefyouwant) (links to CK wiki), but Ashenfire's definitely the normal way to do it.

 

You need an Event OnUpdate() to call the RegisterForUpdate() function so you can do stuff when it updates
