I am trying to use a SetStage trigger box to trigger a quest.

However, I also want to ensure a different quest has been completed before the trigger box is set.

The conditional I'm trying to use isn't able to compile. I get an error about EOF and no output generated.

Can someone help me with the proper syntax for this?

Scriptname LBGSetStageOnEnter extends defaultOnEnter  conditional{sets a quest stage when the specified ref or refs are in the trigger}quest property myFirstQuest auto{ The quest that must be completed before trigger }quest property myQuest auto    { quest to call SetStage on}int property stage auto{ stage to set};total targets currently in the triggerint targetCountCurrent;how many targets are we looking for? When targetCountCurrent reaches this, we triggerint targetCountTotal; what happens when all my targets are in the trigger?; override on subclass to change behavior; Has the other quest been completed?If getquestcompleted(myFirstQuest) != 1function TriggerMe()    myQuest.setStage(stage)    parent.TriggerMe()endFunctionendif

I have also tried game.getplayer().getquestcompleted(myFirstQuest) != 1 but that isn't compiling either.

Any help would be much appreciated!

GetQuestCompleted is a condition, used in the editor. In a script you use

if myFirstQuest.IsCompleted()

Thanks for the reply Ingenue

I am still getting the error "missing EOF at if" when I try to compile it.

Sorry, that was just the if line - you would need to put an endif after whatever came next.

The whole thing is:

if myFirstQuest.IsCompleted()function TriggerMe()	myQuest.setStage(stage)	parent.TriggerMe()endFunctionendif

So the endif is there

"EOF" means Event Or Function. It means that you're not putting your code between the event or function wrappers.

EDIT: You also cannot put one function inside of another function.

Wow...how would I get around that?

I am not quite sure what you're trying to do.

Edit: What event are you calling this in?

Yes.

However I just tried compiling that very thing and it didn't work.

Something about a missing reference

edit

Object reference not set to an instance of an object

That is the error

This is a SetStage on enter trigger where I am going to start a quest if another quest has NOT been completed yet

edit

This is to keep players from entering the Lamplight town if they have not started the main quest.

An NPC will come to the player and tell them to get lost.

And the player is teleported to the exterior.

Your script is extending "defaultOnEnter". I took a look at it and I want to know, do you really need all of that? What exactly are you trying to do?

If you just want to set a quest stage, why not use "defaultSetStageOnEnter" or "defaultSetStageTrigSCRIPT"?

Edit: ignore me, just realized you did post the whole thing higher up

The trigger box is a SetStageOnEnter trigger.

This is the script attached to it.

However, I don't want to fire this trigger if the player has completed the initial quest. And if they have not completed the quest then force them outside.

So, I have to add a condition to the script.

edit

It's a DefaultSetStageOnEnter trigger

edit edit

I changed the name of the script so I don't mess with the vanilla script, btw

Nevermind about "defaultsetstageonenter". I'm too lazy to go look through the vanilla scripts, but really all you need is something like this:

Scriptname ExampleTriggerScript extends ObjectReferenceQuest Property Quest01 AutoQuest Property Quest02 AutoInt Property Stage AutoEvent OnTriggerEnter(ObjectReference akTriggerRef)    if (akTriggerRef == Game.GetPlayer() && !Quest01.IsCompleted())        Quest02.SetStage(Stage)    endifEndEvent

Ok...I see what you did there. This is cool because I can use a generic trigger for it.

Is there a listing somewhere of the akWhatever?

I really want to learn the syntax and I've done a lot of searching but some things are hard to find.

I'm going to try that script out now

Thanks!

There is this http://www.creationkit.com/Category:Papyrus.

Huh...I've never heard of that one...thanks!

Let me ask you this.

By setting a stage in a quest that has not yet started, like to stage 10, would that automatically start that quest?

Or is there something else I should do to start the second quest?

edit

That link went to the creation kit wiki...I didn't find what I was looking for there before but I'll try again

i still think you are better off manipulating your load door in some way instead of allowing the player to sit through a load screen into the new area, then sit through another load screen when they are forced out

I agree but I didn't know you can set a condition and a stage on an auto-load door :/

I guess I could put the trigger box outside and have the NPC there ready.

If the 1st quest hasn't been completed the NPC will tell them they aren't welcome and the trigger won't work unless the 1st quest is complete too,

That way it wouldn't be so confusing.

Yes. And if the quest has a start up stage - I mean a stage that has the start up stage box checked, not just a first stage - that will automatically run first.


You can look up On.... events from that page and see their parameters. Sorry if it's not what you meant. I love that page though

JustinOther made a post on the forums somewhere that explained the syntax, but for most things, it really doesn't matter what you use. In the example I gave, I could just as easily have used:

Event OnTriggerEnter(ObjectReference q843uptiopjwfj)    if (q843uptiopjwfj == Game.GetPlayer() && !Quest01.IsCompleted())        Quest02.SetStage(Stage)    endifEndEvent

The only things that have special variables would be the various http://www.creationkit.com/Category:Fragments.


Why not just have the door be initially disabled, and then enable it in the last stage of your main quest?

You guys never cease to impress me...that's a great idea!

I have two entrances to the town but that shouldn't be a problem

I had no idea about the syntax you talked about.

I thought the akWhatever is a set-in-stone variable or function of some type.

But really I could actually use akWhatever and it would actually work lol

My problem is mostly the wiki itself. I seems that most of it presumes you know pretty well what you're doing and doesn't go into enough details for the noobs.

I have so much to do for this mod It will probably take me another year to get it done lol

I have yet one more question...if I may

How do you enable an object through a fragment?

In the last stage of the 1st quest I want the load doors to be enabled. So under "SetObjectiveCompleted(30)" in the fragment box I will need to enable both of the load doors.

Or maybe I should start a new thread :/

declare the doors as objref properties and fill them in the properties window

then in the fragment

Door1Ref.Enable()
Door2Ref.Enable()

the names Door1Ref etc are the names of the properties you declare, you can name these whatever
