Script help needed

[sockit2me66]

Hello,

I am currently working on a small quest involving gathering 10 samples of two different ingredients. I cannot seem to properly script a method of keeping track of the number of the required items the player has in their possession (x/10). Also, I need the quest stage to advance stage upon the player acquiring the necessary amount of ingredients for each.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys

I will start with a disclaimer, I don't do quests. So how the script works in quests is beyond my meager skills.
 
But...
 
You can use 'GetItemCount' to find out how many of each object the player has and advance the stage when the criteria are met with 'SetCurrentStageID'.

Scriptname QuestItems extends ObjectReference

ObjectReference Property FirstIngredient Auto     ;reference your first ingredient
ObjectReference Property SecondIngredient Auto    ;reference your second ingredient

Quest Property myQuest Auto                       ;reference your quest
Int Property iObjectiveCompleted Auto             ;set what stage would be completed on gathering all the stuff
Int Property iObjectiveToDisplay Auto
Int Property iStageNew Auto                       ;set the stage number of the new (next) stage

Bool myItem1 = False                              ;just some bools to track whether both have been gathered
Bool myItem2 = False

Event OnItemAdded(Form akBaseItem, int aiItemCount, ObjectReference akItemReference, ObjectReference akSourceContainer)
  If (myQuest.GetStage() < iStageNew)            ; stage AFTER the player completed 
	If (akBaseItem == FirstIngredient)       ; Reference the first ingredient
		if aiItemCount >= 10             ; check to see if player has 10 or more
			myItem1 = True           ; set my first item to true is done
                endif
        endif
        if (akBaseItem == SecondIngredient)       ; check for second ingredient
	         if aiItemCount >= 10             ; check to see if player has 10 or more
		      myItem2 = True              ; set my second item to true
	         endif
        endif
        if ((myItem1 == True) && (myItem2 == True))
	     myQuest.SetObjectiveCompleted(iObjectiveCompleted) ;set quest objective done
	     myQuest.SetStage(iStageNew)                    ;set quest to new stage
             myQuest.SetObjectiveDisplayed(iObjectiveToDisplay) ;next objective
        endif
  Endif
EndEvent

If you're still having difficulty, I wrote this one up for you real quick.

I would actually prefer to write this with Alias as they are more 'temporary' but without your quest info, I can't do that here for you.

Hallelujah you're amazing! Thank you so much for the help! I will try out the script tonight, and will definitely be reusing for some additional quests as well.

Ya, well ... don't be too quick to praise me - I never tested it.  I only know it compiles okay, so if you run into problems with the logic not being correct - let me know

See. I don't do quests so I don't know about the quest commands.

Post the error messages if you get any.

You have to attach that script to the alias. The event gets fired when an item is put into the objects container. So you have to attach that to an player_alias.

 

For game smoothness I would add two global as a count and make the objectives show how much the player has gathered for each ingredient.

 

Check quest NN01 for details.
