Hey guys, what would I have to do to activate the next quest objective when the player enters a new area? Any help would be much appreciated, thank you

Have you tried : OnLocationChange ? http://www.creationkit.com/OnLocationChange_-_Actor

Keep getting :
Starting 1 compile threads for 1 files...
Compiling "QF_vodnquest_0100B28B"...
c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\QF_vodnquest_0100B28B.psc(48,0): missing EOF at 'EndFunction'
No output generated for QF_vodnquest_0100B28B, compilation failed.

Batch compile of 1 files finished. 0 succeeded, 1 failed.

Please post your script, it's difficult to debug otherwise (see some guidelines http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1347469-how-to-ask-for-scripting-help/ )

if (!GetStageDone(20))
SetObjectiveDisplayed(10, False)
endif

SetObjectiveCompleted(20)
SetObjectiveDisplayed(30)

Event OnLocationChange(Location akOldLoc, Location ValleyOfDeadNature)
if (Game.GetPlayer().GetCurrentLocation() == ValleyOfDeadNature)
SetObjectiveCompleted(20)
SetObjectiveDisplayed(30)
endIf
endEvent

I'm new to this sorta thing...

I assume you posted 3 fragments, right ?

From the copile error, it seems that QF_vodnquest_0100B28B.psc contains a Function declaration and somehow is not complete or something. But I can't see any function in what you posted.

Which part of what you posted above is QF_vodnquest_0100B28B.psc ?

Hmm you hooked up your quest as a Change Location Quest and hooked it up in the Story Manager right?

I was browsing the creation kit wiki when I found this page

your message being : missing EOF at 'EndFunction' it would maybe indicate that you have a EndFunction line all by itself (I mean not linked to any Function line).

Indenting your code like this

Function xyz		 blah-blah		 blah-blah2		 blah-blah3EndFunction

will help you spot any problem.



I think this is necessary only when you want to start your quest with a particular event not for a particular script inside this quest.


also I think your test is not valid. You should get something

Location property ValleyOfDeadNature autoEvent OnLocationChange(Location akOldLoc, Location akNewLoc)  if (Game.GetPlayer().GetCurrentLocation() == ValleyOfDeadNature)    Debug.Trace("The Player has entered Valley of Dead Nature !")    ;put your code here  endIfendEvent

and set the value for ValleyOfDeadNature in the editor (see tutorials in the CK wiki).
