I have seen this option:

GetOwningQuest().SetStage(10)

But I am trying to change the stage in a quest other than the one the dialogue is in.

I have tried the following :

DPSS11Property.SetCurrentStageID 5DPSS11.SetCurrentStageID(5)DPSS11.SetCurrentStageID 5DPSS11Property SetCurrentStageID 5DPSS11 SetCurrentStageID(5)DPSS11 SetCurrentStageID 5

And none of it seems to be working. DPSS11 is the Editor ID of the quest I am trying to affect by the way. I am using the Scripting on the end of a Topic Info.

You can't access forms directly by their editorID in Papyrus. Instead, you need to create a property and assign that form as the value of your property.

Ok, that makes sense.

I have started to try and sort this out. I have created a quest script to create this property in.

I have called the quest script DPSS1Script and attached it to my quest DPSS11

I have tried to create the property through the Properties for scripts box

I have set the Type to Quest, and left the array box unticked
I have given the property the name DPSS11Property

When trying to ok this however it crashes out with the following error:

*edited to remove long and irrelevant error message

That output alone isn't particularly useful. Could you post the entire source as well, please?

The source is the Creation Kits auto writer for adding proprties to a script. On the scripts button at the end of the quest editor you can add properties to a script. It has an "Add Property" button which what then falls down.

I will have to grab notepad ++ to write it manually by the looks of it.

Ok,

The Script I have got looks like this:

Scriptname DPSS11Script extends Quest Quest Property DPSS11Property Auto 

It seems to have compiled ok. I'm carrying on now, so cheers for the help. This is going to be a steep learning curve.

Or not as the case may be. Everything is at least compiling ok now, but it isn't doing what it is supposed to do.

I have a quest script, which contains the following:

Scriptname DPSS11Script extends Quest Quest Property DPSS11Property Auto 

On the dialogue, I am using the script section at the bottom and have the following in the Papyrus Box:

(GetOwningQuest() As DPSS11Script).SetCurrentStageID(5)

Everything seems to compile fine but when the game runs and the dialogue is spoken the stage of DPSS11 does not advance. The current stage of DPSS11 is 0. Now I am sure I must be missing something fairly simple, but I am not quite sure what,
