I cannot get this quest to start for the life of me. I'm calling it from another script using the command PlayerVampireNeedsQuest(start)

Is there anything in the script here that would shut it off or make it not run? I can't get a single debug message to fire. It was working, I commented out a couple lines so I could play a non vampire character for a while, as it seemed to be starting up on its own before and working fine. I got back to my vampire character to work on unholy darkness and now I can't get this damn thing to work. Am I missing something obvious?

I even added a stage 10, (never had one before), and set priortity to 50, had no priority before and it ran fine. I can't figure out why it won't poll and do anything.

Mole, do you mean you are using:

PlayerVampireNeedsQuest.Start()

?


I can't see anything obviously out of whack with your script (though I find them difficult to read, if I haven't written them )

Oh yeah, sorry... that is a typo, or more or less a brain fart when I typed it in. I checked the other script and it is calling it with this: PlayerVampireNeedsQuest.start()

Its like for some reason the registerForSingleUpdate isn't working, or there is something maybe wrong with my quest to where it's not running in the background. I guess I'll try IsRunning to see if the quest is running or not.

Ok I figured it out. Apparently OnInit only works if the quest is STOPPED and then RESTARTED. Loading the game does not call OnInit. So this quest was somehow already running the whole time, but since I had commented out the registerforupdates it wasn't really doing anything, and uncommenting them didn't work because the onINit wasn't firing due to the quest running.

Yeah, I keep thinking OnInit is a game-start thing. It's not, it's a thing-starting thing.

Glad you solved it, mole
