How to do a simple quest?

Post » Wed Jun 20, 2012 2:09 pm

I have a little problem, can not do one simple quest. The videos I saw are very complicated and is not what i want to do.

What I want to do is this simple quest:
The player arrives and takes a piece of paper. He read and get the Quest "Whiterun Hidden Scrolls". In the quest menu, will appear only the name of the quest and the only goal: "Taking 0/8 hidden scrolls" where this sequence of numbers 0/8, of course, is changing when the player is picking up the scrolls. When you arrive at eight, ends the quest. Don't have dialogue; simple quest, with one simple goal (Provide for the player how much he found and how much he has to find).

The player can use the scrolls, not prevented him from completing the quest if it use them (This is very important. It will be a usable item, not necessary to be in your inventory to completed the quest).

That's it. Does anyone know how to do? Thank you xD

you should also look through the favor quests. like bringing the firesalts to the blacksmith in riften (quest id: freeformriften10)

it uses global variables to track the number of items in the objective.

I try here but the script is killing me! This quest is just a one Ingredient to pick, what is the Fire Salt; in my, is 8 differents scrolls. In this quest, if they eat the Fire Salt, they need to pick more; in my, you can use the scroll, without lose the count. In this quest is starts with the blacksmith; the mine is in a book.

Really confuse, but thx BTW. I learned that the Creation Kit is so difficult that to make a simple quest is more boring them create a game.

Well that's what making quests is about. Know the system to create them and then it's easily done. If you have specific questions, ask them. Tip: In the CK, search quests that are already ingame that more or less work like the way you want your quest to work and understand them.

If you get frustrated, make a few simpler quests first to get the hang of how it normally works. There's no way around it, your quest is a bit more complicated than a regular quest. The 'scrolls' being usable, but not consumed will also require some complexity. There's no built in facilitation for this. After messing about with it for a bit it seems a neat way to do it to save yourself more trouble (trust me) would be to just have it add a spell when you got a new scroll(which would actually be a book type item). You could even name it the same as the scroll, so it would behave much like a scroll.

keep us updated if you continue to have problems you really can't get past. This is reasonably straight forward, but would require some looong explanation and you know... teach a man to fish and all...
