I feel like I'm overcomplicating something that should be really simple: I want to change Quest stages when the player reaches a target location or is near said location.

Right now my solution is to attach a quest script and check the players location every X seconds:

Location Property Helgen AutoEvent OnInit()	 RegisterForUpdate(5)EndEventEvent OnUpdate()	 If GetStage() == 0		  If PlayerREF.IsInLocation(Helgen)			   UnregisterForUpdate()			   SetStage(10)		  EndIf	 EndIfEndEvent

Is there a better way to do this using Quest Aliases, Quest Stage Fragments, and/or Objective Targets?

Place a DefaultSetStage trigger where you want the player to have to go, and set the properties on it to the appropriate values for your quest.

AV to the rescue again! Thanks man.

Okay, another stupid question: Can you make the trigger activate within a certain distance radius? So you don't have to be standing directly over the trigger?

Hmmm... In the primitive tab for the trigger you might be able to make it a sphere. The word wall activators are spheres instead of boxes, so it may be possible. But I'm not too sure.
