We could do with the error message given by the compiler.

I assume that's a fragment and not the whole script?

Ofcourse here is the error message; It is also the only part of the script. Its basicly just to make the quest line move on upon the death of Hroth (bandit)

OK, you seem to be referring to the quest by the script name. That doesn't work.

What you need to do is

• declare a property of type quest (don't call it MFQuestQuest!)
  
• set it in the CK to point at MFQuestQuest
  
• and use that property to call SetStage and SetObjectiveDisplayed

That should sort you out.

Is that your whole script? If yes, then you have forgotten to declare the MFQuestQuest property

Just put the following in your script somewhere after the script (I personally prefer declaring them before the events, but I've also seen them at the end):

Quest Property MFQuestQuest  Auto

Then after the code compiles after you save it, close the papyrus window and click on the properties button and then link your property to the actual quest

At the same time tho, this line is bugging me:

"c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\MFQuestQuest.psc(3,15): cannot name a variable or property the same as a known type or script"

If i read it right, that could mean that you in fact have defined a property in line 3 of your script, and that you are trying to name it with the same name that is already being used by a script somewhere? What could fix that is to just define and use in your script a quest property of a different name, "MyQuest" for example. Then just link it to your quest through the properties button as previously mentioned

Hope that helps

EDIT: Ninja'd lol

Thanks to the both of you. Seems I you were right and i refered it to the Quest itself and not the property. Thanks a lot.

Just finished my first quest. Feeling pretty happy about it haha.
