Help with Alias (location of an NPC)

Post » Mon Nov 19, 2012 7:31 am

Hey guys, I'm starting to dig deeper and make my quests better, and now have my fetch quests display everything the player may need. Item, Amount, NPC, NPC Location.
Seen here - http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p628/B1gBadDaddy/2012-09-16_00001.jpg

But the location is the interior cell they are in as you can see, so a house, or shop etc. I would like to show the City/Village they are in, if that's possible. Would it be, do you think?

Basically the Item and Amount are decided by the quest script itself, and the NPC Alias is chosen at random using conditions; which then fills all the Aliases as required.

Here are my 2 aliases.

NPC - http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p628/B1gBadDaddy/npcalias-1.png
NPC Location - http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p628/B1gBadDaddy/NPCLOCALIAS-1.jpg

Here is the Objective text:

Return the s to in .


Thanks as always guys :smile:

I tried something similar in one of my mods I'm working on. I used the conditions "HasSameEditorLocAsRefAlias Alias: MyAlias, Keyword LocTypeHabitation" And "LocationHasKeyword LocTypeHabitation" for my Location Alias.
Just a tip: Concerning your NPC, you know that there are some Orcs in the JobApothecaryFaction, which may not be "available" unless the player has finished the "A Friend to the Orcs quest"? But if it's intended, then never mind :happy:

Ah really? How do you mean won't be available? I have had a few Orcs pop up when testing in-game just launching and finishing the quest, but haven't started testing actually going to the NPC yet. All of them so far do show on the map with a marker though.

They live within these Orc strongholds, you won't get access if you are not friend with Orcs. I made a radiant quest which picks random apothecaries as quest givers and didn't consider this. Since I hadn't finished that Orc-Relationship-Quest yet, I couldn't get to my quest giver.

Ah ok, I'll exclude orcs then, and sort something out :)
