SM Event Not Starting Quest : V

» Wed Jun 20, 2012 4:08 am

I have added my quest to the Arrest Event exactly as described 9 minutes into https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qfcet5hf5bs&feature=youtu.be&hd=1, New Quest Node, Add Quest, and checked Shares Event. There are no conditions. The quest data is set to Event: Arrest Event. It worked fine for a long time before suddenly deciding not to work any more and I have no idea why. I have remade the node many times with no effect.

MyQuest.IsRunning() returns false just after getting arrested. I have noticed in the Use Info for the Stacked Event Node it has the form IDs of the other 2 quest nodes there in vanilla, and a 3rd form ID which does not match the form ID of my new quest node. Deleting my new node still shows these 3 form IDs. Is this a bug or irrelevant?

Is there anything else which can prevent a quest from starting via a SM Event Node

Nevermind, just came across this.

Does the real quest have aliases that need to be filled? If they fail to fill, the story manager will move on to the next node.

I wish it would have given some sort of error rather than just staying silent. Would have saved me 6 hours of frustration.

I had this same problem once, racking my brain to remember how I fixed it...
EDIT: If I recall it had something to do with one of the properties in the quest's script not being able to retrieve a valid value...hopefully that helps.

What I can say is you definitely want to check your debug logs, they will probably tell you something.
