Okay, so I have this quest running from an SM Event Node, and it won't run. I figured it was the SM Node itself, so I turned on warnings for failure to start quest from the node and for failure to fill aliases for the quest. I got these errors:

error: Unable to bind script PokeParentRoselia to PKRoseliaLevelUp (06000D70) because their base types do not match
[03/11/2012 - 08:31:07AM] Loading game...
[03/11/2012 - 08:31:07AM] error: Unable to bind script PKRoseLevel to alias PKRoseliaAlias on quest PKRoseliaLevelUp (06000D70) because their base types do not match
[03/11/2012 - 08:31:08AM]

So I managed to fix these errors by changing what these scripts were extending and futzing with the code until it worked right again. Now when I level up (the condition of the SM node) I don't get those errors! BUT, my quest still doesn't begin. I know it isn't beginning because the first line of stage 0 (the startup stage) fragment is Debug.Trace("The quest has started") and that isn't showing up in the log either. Anyone have any ideas? The quest MUST be starting (I would think) because otherwise my SM node would still be throwing an error, but its never even getting to the first line of the fragment. Here is the code for the fragment at stage 0 if that helps.

Debug.Trace("The quest started")if Alias_PKRoseliaAlias.GetActorReference().IsPlayerTeammate()==1    if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 4	  MoveName = "Growth"   endIf   if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 7	 MoveName = "Poison Sting"   endIf   if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 10	 MoveName = "StunSpore"   endIf   if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 13	  MoveName = "Mega Drain"   endIf    if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 16	 MoveName = "Leech Seed"   endIf     if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 19	  MoveName = "Magical Leaf"   endIf     if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 22	 MoveName = "Grass Whistle"   endIf     if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 25	 MoveName = "Giga Drain"   endIf    if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 28	  MoveName = "Toxic Spikes"   endIf     if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 31	 MoveName = "Sweet Scent"   endIf     if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 34	 MoveName = "Ingrain"   endIf     if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 37	  MoveName = "Toxic"   endIf    if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 40	  MoveName = "Petal Dance"   endIf    if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 43	 MoveName = "Aromatherapy"   endIf    if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 46	 MoveName = "Synthesis"   endIf   if (Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==13 || Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==4 ||  Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==7 || Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==10 || Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==16 || Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==19 || Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==22 || Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==25 || Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==28 || Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==31 || Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==34 || Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==37 || Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==40 || Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==43 || Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==46)	  (self as quest).SetStage(13)   endIFendIf

Do you use the script through EVENT or FUNCTION?

Neither, that's just the fragment on the quest stage. Do I still need to put it in an OnInit event to get it to run?

EDIT: Apparently not, attempting to put an event inside the fragment results in a "no viable alternative" error.

If you use the fragment then you don't need to use event or function

So, what are some reasons that a quest would start, but then not run any of its fragment?

Maybe you have a mistake in the script and replace this

Debug.Trace("The quest started")

on this

Debug.MessageBox("The quest started")

and if Message doesn't display this mean that a problem with quest

Could having incorrect text replacement do this maybe?

Yeah, the messagebox didn't show. Sigh.

I guess it wasn't the text replacement, I got rid of all that and I'm still not seeing the messagebox.

Aha, In what the stage is the script?

This fragment is in stage 0, which is the startup stage.

Please write all error after compile

There are no errors.

Let's try to create a script and insert into your code and in the stage 0 write: RegisterForUpdate(1)

[CODE]Event OnUpdate()Debug.Trace("The quest started")if Alias_PKRoseliaAlias.GetActorReference().IsPlayerTeammate()==1    if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 4		  MoveName = "Growth"   endIf   if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 7		 MoveName = "Poison Sting"   endIf   if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 10		 MoveName = "StunSpore"   endIf   if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 13		  MoveName = "Mega Drain"   endIf   if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 16		 MoveName = "Leech Seed"   endIf    if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 19		  MoveName = "Magical Leaf"   endIf    if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 22		 MoveName = "Grass Whistle"   endIf    if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 25		 MoveName = "Giga Drain"   endIf   if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 28		  MoveName = "Toxic Spikes"   endIf    if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 31		 MoveName = "Sweet Scent"   endIf    if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 34		 MoveName = "Ingrain"   endIf    if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 37		  MoveName = "Toxic"   endIf   if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 40		  MoveName = "Petal Dance"   endIf   if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 43		 MoveName = "Aromatherapy"   endIf   if Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel() == 46		 MoveName = "Synthesis"   endIf   if (Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==13 || Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==4 ||  Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==7 || Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==10 || Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==16 || Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==19 || Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==22 || Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==25 || Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==28 || Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==31 || Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==34 || Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==37 || Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==40 || Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==43 || Game.GetPlayer().GetLevel()==46)		  (self as quest).SetStage(13)   endIFendIfEndEvent

[/CODE]

where would I insert this?

In the quest---> tab "Script"--->Add Script

This also did nothing.

OK, by using the player.setstage PKRoseliaLevelUp 0 command in game I can start the quest, and it seems to work properly. So, there is some problem actually starting the quest itself, meaning maybe this is a story manager problem.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
WHY WON'T THIS FREAKING WORK!

Starting the quest manually makes it work. The SM Node itself seems to have no problems, as it used to throw errors, and now it doesn't. The problem is just that, for whatever reason, the SM Node won't actually start the quest.
