Hi, im haveing a probelm with a quest script

scn DSTquest1 Begin OnAdd Playersetstage CaptainsSwordQuest 10End

ok so thats the code and this is my quest

find a ghost he gives you a quest, you get an dairy entre and you go in cave find sword, get new entre, take sword back quest done.

I dont have net on the computer im making the mod on atm, so i cant just copy and paste every thing for yous, i got to remember it off my head

Once quest done an .enable (25 of them) make an small bandit camp with npc appear next to the tavern.

So thanks for any help.

That is not a 'quest' script, it is an 'object' script.

That means the script would go on, for example, the sword. When the sword is picked up, the quest would be incremented appropriately. But you probably only want to do it once, right?

scn DSTquestSwordScriptShort doOnceBegin OnAdd Player   if doOnce == 0      set doOnce to 1      setstage CaptainsSwordQuest 10    endifEnd

And you do not need to 'enable' 25 objects. You only need to enable one, and set all the other objects 'parentage' tab to point to the one object being enabled.

A bit off topic there. I never did figure out what the 'problem' was. Can you be more specific as to whats not working?

Hey thanks alot, and for the returning part of the quest im using th condtion getitemcount (sword) >= 1 and it got to meet that for the next topic to show up. Is that right? im not 100% sure

[WillieSea]

The getitemcount would work. I don't know anything much about dialoge and quests, so I am not a good person to ask about setting that up.

getitemcount isnt working, can any one who knows anythingy about quests give me an hand?

[WindmillTilter]

Not sure why get item count isn't working for you. It's much more common to use the quest stage though. To do that you'd set the following in your conditons.

Function Name = GetStage

Function Info = Quest:'DSTquestSwordScript'

Comp = >=

Value = 10

Leave target set to no.

Thank you i will try that.

I can only guess that you are not setting the getItemCount up correctly.

if player.GetItemCount MySword >= 1  setstage CaptainsSwordQuest 20endif

You MUST use the base name of the sword, not the formID or anything else. (MySword)

And you MUST call it on the "player".

In dialog/quests, the getItemCount would work about the same, but you must select the correct options.
