I am doing a quest where 3 items need to be in the players inventory in order to advance the quest.

So what I am trying to do is that I am trying to apply a script to a alias to check if other aliases exist within the players inventory.

So I have no proper idea on how to go about doing this but what I thought it would look like is something like this:

Scriptname LPGLootPickup1 extends ReferenceAlias  Event onContainerChanged(ObjectReference akNewContainer, ObjectReference akOldContainer)if akNewContainer == Game.GetPlayer()if akNewContainer == Alias_RuufgardLoot2.GetReference()if akNewContainer == Alias_RuufgardLoot3.GetReference()GetOwningQuest().SetStage(30)endifendifendifendEvent

But I'm guessing the "if akNewContainer == Alias_RuufgardLoot2.GetReference()" doesn't exactly work. But what I didn't expect was that it responded with an error:






So TL;DR question is basically: What sort of papyrus script do I need/use in order to check if an alias exists within the players inventory? Bear in mind that this script is applied to an alias. (basically 3 items checking if the other 2 are in the players inventory each time their containers get changed)

I think the format you need to use is (GetOwningQuest().). At least that's what they type in quest objectives and whatnot to make it dynamically change. (If I remember correctly)

So where do I put the "(GetOwningQuest().)" ?

Would it look something like:

if akNewContainer == (GetOwningQuest().)


Like that?

Try that and see if it works. (I'm kind of just throwing out ideas here...)

Yeah that just gave me a bunch of errors. It seemed like a pretty unique way of scripting to me as well.

Try this:

Scriptname LPGLootPickup1 extends ReferenceAlias  ReferenceAlias Property Alias_RuufgardLoot2 AutoReferenceAlias Property Alias_RuufgardLoot3 AutoEvent onContainerChanged(ObjectReference akNewContainer, ObjectReference akOldContainer)if (akNewContainer == Game.GetPlayer()) && (akNewContainer.GetiItemCount(Alias_RuufgardLoot2.GetReference()) >= 1) && (akNewContainer.GetItemCount(Alias_RuufgardLoot3.GetReference()) >= 1)GetOwningQuest().SetStage(30)endifendEvent

if the script compiles, go to properties and fill the alias properties with your aliases (if the naming is exact, hitting auto-fill will do it automatically)


the problem with your original script is that your aliases were not defined as properties, and also your 2nd and 3rd if statements are checking whether the newContainer IS the item itself (which would never return true). you need GetItemCount if you are checking to see if something is in the inventory.
