Hi
I placed an npc in Tamriel, and I want a map marker to point out where to go. But the NPC isn't inside a dungeon so I can't point to a dungeon marker like in the tutorial.
Do I need to add an Xmarker where the NPC is standing (using hold position ai package)?

I've placed a Map marker in the world myself and added it to the Queststage as a property, objectref and named it MapMarker.
The script in the queststage has MapMarker.AddToMap(), but still nothing shows up. The NPC is placed just like the Quest tutorial teaches, but he's (I added an XMarker and used a linkref + holdposition ai too) also not there.

Went to take a look at the creationkit wiki again
So I created a new location and added the cell the priest is in + a nearby cell. On the map this works, and when I look at the small map it also shows the name I assigned it, so the location works.
I tried putting the SetObjectiveComplete(10) on the alias of the priest, but no change either.

no quest markers show up and the npc still doesn't spawn.

Anyone? D:

Another bump, think plenty of time has passed

Is this a fast-travel marker, or just a marker on the map?

If it's just a map marker, you need to make the character an objective, then activate the objective using SetObjectiveDisplayed. It needs to be selectable in the quest window to show it. Try looking at some of the other quests for examples.
