Quest ID: JOEY02

Stage 0: Before interacting with quest-giver
Stage 10: Received quest from quest-giver. Must retrieve KEY. (Key taken from enemy NPC, however the fate of the NPC is not a part of the quest, you just have to receive the Mead Locker Key from him, somehow)
Stage 20: Receive QUESTITEM (Key received in Stage 10 unlocks the chest that contains the QUESTITEM)
Stage 30: Return QUESTITEM to QUESTGIVER.

Now here's the thing.

I use this script:


Event OnContainerChanged(ObjectReference newContainer, ObjectReference oldContainer)
if (newContainer == Game.GetPlayer())
JOEY02.SetStage(20)
endif
EndEvent

It successfully sets the stage to 20 when the KEY is taken off the enemy NPC (whether pickpocketed or looted)

BUT.... I made another script for the quest item, almost the same idea....


Event OnContainerChanged(ObjectReference newContainer, ObjectReference oldContainer)
if (newContainer == Game.GetPlayer())
JOEY02.SetStage(30)
endif
EndEvent


The container switch of the quest item from chest --> player doesn't register, and the game stays at Stage 20.


What could I be doing wrong? The setup is, as far as I can see, identical to the scripting for the previous stage, the only real difference is that the item switch is Chest-->Player instead of NPC-->Player and that the stages involved are 20 and 30.



I even redid the quest from the ground up with help of the tutorial to make sure I didn't botch anything. (Of course I did improvise a bit with adding a chest into the mix, but I followed the same guidelines)

Have you tried to put some debug trace in order to see if you even execute your second script ? (read this how-to: http://www.creationkit.com/FAQ:_My_Script_Doesn%27t_Work! ).

Just put a Debug.Trace on the first line of your script. You'll be able to see if it's called or not (which seems to be the problem).

hope this helps.
