console not 'recognising' quest IDs

Post » Wed Mar 30, 2011 6:40 am

I'm trying to fix something in a quest, but the console keeps returning an error for the questid parameter. I've tried using different quests, both running and not running to test it, as well as different commands, suchas getstage, getqr, etc., and I've also tried using short and long versions of the commands. It just seems broken, although quests seem to progress properly. It's really like a syntax problem, except that I know it's not. 'player.getav strength' or other skill/attr works. Any suggestions?

What quest are you trying to fix and what console command(s) are you using? What are you trying to do to fix the quest?

Damn, I missed the submit button! I had edited that first post, thought I'd clicked 'submit', then moved away from that tab and closed it later without looking at it.

Anyway, I figured it out - the syntax has changed from previous beth games: Now you have to use the FormID in quotes, rather than the EditorID. That hasn't been updated on the GECK wiki. So you have to do something like:

GetStage "001122AA"


Where it used to be:

GetStage MyQuest
