Problem with script attached to player... : V

» Mon Nov 19, 2012 12:52 am

I want to stop and start a particular quest to refill the quest aliases if the player moves a certain distance away from his starting position. I have done this because I only want the quest aliases to refill when the player moves away from the point where the aliases were filled. So I have attached a script to the player using a second quest that fills its only alias with the player's reference. Both quests are Start Game Enabled but this script is doing nothing-debug message boxes are not showing up in game. It appears as if the OnInit event is not triggering... Any ideas?

Spoiler

Are your aliases set to optional?

Yup, the optional box is ticked. I have found that the script works when I attach it to the second quest... I should of just done that in the first place but still... I don't know why what I tried to do initially did not work. Thanks anyway.
