I've recently run into a problem with aliases. The problem is that in my radiant quest, the player is instructed to pickpocket a random civilian living outside a hold, but what happens is that my target is inside a hold.

Here is the 2 main aliases for the civilian:
CivilianLocation N Loc
Civilian N Ref

CivilianLocation has one condition which is

LocationHasKeyword LocTypeHold == 0.00

and Civilian is a ref type with the radio button "Location Alias Reference" checked which has been set to CivilianLocation with "Ref Type" put to NONE and has one condition which is "GetIsClass Citizen == 1.00"

but when in game it gives me someone like Olava The Feeble?

Thanks in advance, if you still don't understand then don't hesitate to ask.

Is it possible that:

1. When the Radiant Calculations are made the NPC is (even if temporarily) wandering around in the location you selected?
2. There may well be some issues with using Named-Locations in packages/scripts (or there may not, some people are reporting that there might be)
3. That the areas where the NPCs are being found - which are outside the area you are restricting - are children of a parent that is outside of the area (I don't know if that would count or not)?
4. Your conditions don't actiually do what you think they do!?


I can't think of much else ... other than to say Radiance is a bit of a "you get what you are given" system, and so this might just be a result of the way it works (though I haven't had such a specific problem with it)

Honestly, I think its number 4. Because I think Location Alias Reference gets the location (Civilian Location) and then looks for the civilian inside the location.
