I can't believe this was the problem but i actually managed to fix it. All i did was uninstall skyrim and the creation kit, reinstall skyrim,update it to v1.4, install the creation kit, and when i tried it out it worked perfectly :D Thanks alot for your help though and keep up the great work with your tutorials, they're awesome :))
5 years on and still incredibly useful as an introduction to making quests. wish you'd carried on making tutorials!
Turns out, it's valuable even 10 years later :P
Your Skyrim tutorials are the best! I watched the CK official ones, and someone elses, but yours explained it best. Thanks!
Ok so, ive got a question. Basically, ive got a quest going, where the player, when he encounters the bad guy, (a giant frostbite spider) is spoken to by said bad guy, before the fight. how can i force this? and how do i quest marker a door, so that when i use(open) it, it triggers the next part of the quest?
new question: (the last mod i was working on sorta... got destroyed.>.>) I would like to make it so that on my currently being developed quest, after quest stage 10 is finished, and I'm on quest stage 20, after about say, 2 real life minutes, an NPC attacks the player. How would i do this? (PS: how do i also update the landmass so NPC's don't levitate over lowered terrain?)
If you could PM me an answer, and include more details, that would be deeply appreciated.
Hm, what do you mean writing "bug fixing tutorial"? Which bugs should be fixed?
Hey M1LL3RB0Y, I have a few questions for ya.
1. For making a follower, how do I edit my follower after I've put him in a city in the game?
2. Being a vampire and having vampire followers, how do I use Volkihar Vampire Armor as default armor?
3. How do I give my followers ( and myself ) that beast attack ( BeastH2H_AttackLeft.hkx, BeastH2H_AttackRight.hkx) that the werewolf does when he slaps someone around?
This is fitting for the vampire and much cooler than the boxing with the fists.
I have an issue. The dialogue won't show for me at all. I've tried setting Creation Kit Launch options to "-generateSEQ:Mod.esp" and I have copied the SEQ file to Data > SEQ without any luck. What should I do?
Yeah, summary.
Also, question. Is it possible to disable the quest markers? Like it was in Morrowind, no markers, just description in quest journal.
i followed your instructions fully and everything worked fine, my only problem was, when i went to talk to my 'questgiver' no dialogue box would appear, she would just say random words and the quest would not start.... any ideas ???
Question: I made a side quest based offf yours but a lil more complex (instead of a sword i used a ring) but when i go to the menu for the ring to put in scripts. It simply won't allow me to click on the add button. Idk why but please help!!!
how did you get billy bob to talk for you because i made a test mod by following your videos but when i press e on the start character nothing happens
OMG! Thank you M1LL3RBOY!!!! Thanks the explanes of the addgold script i finally got it!! been searching for this so long! the problem whas the propeties wich i couldnt see on my screen!
Oh, cool! Hope, it will be soon.
i'm trying to find a way to make it so i have to get 2 of the same item by crafting them or finding them so i wanted to make it that if i had 2 or more of the item in my inventory it would trigger the stage change. plz help!
thanks so much for making these
I tried using the console commands to set the stages of the quest. Everything seemed fine, the log entry's worked, the stages would all show up, the questmarkers showed up for each stage, and the quest was complete. So basically the only problem is with the quest giver :/
Great tutorials, its all easy to follow along with and understand! My only problem is that my scripts won't compile properly even though I copied and pasted then from the page here. I am using the legendary edition so I'm wondering if maybe the code you provided us doesn't work in the legendary edition and that's what the problem is?
Hi. I was watching your video to get a few pointers. I have a major issue with scripting and even watching your video and listening carefully, I still got it wrong. The quest I'm doing is based on saving two travelers from a hybrid brigand. So far I've been accurate with everything you've provide, but when it comes to scripting I pretty much want to pull my hair out.
Question is for each main actor does he or she need a script? Because for stage 20, I'm just locating one of the travelers and when I reach her she'll be discussing with me what happened with her other friend and where the direction they took her, so I can investigate. I bet on the OnDeath script objective (Which I'll use on the villains death) I bet it'll work.
Also if it helps, I have 6 stages total (60)
Thanks!
Yeah, I tryed youtube captions, of course.
What to add? Hm, maybe something like in official video tuts, like
0.00-5.30 - doing some CK
5.31-24.00 - adding scripts.
IMHO.
Thanks for reply. =)
yes i have selected the npc i created, and set the condition of the first voice to only play at stage 0 .... i can't understand whats goin on ... could it be i need to create factions or set different conditions or something ??
Do you know how i can trigger npcs to be enabled ? Like when you cleared a bandit camp or whatever and then you want to spawn there Guards instead. Just like in Civil war battles when you clean a camp then your troops will appear. Do you know how that works ?
How would I make my custom mod compatible with SKYUI since my mod causes the game to crash when SKYUI is activated.
Can you add a bit more information about this video in description?
Sometimes it's hard for non-english-speaking person to understand what you saying.
Thanks.
(I dont know if you will ever check comments on this video ever again but someone else might)
So I followed all the steps of your tutorial so far and I run into 2 problems. 1: the description of my stages does not appear. 2: The waypoint arrows for the objectives does not show up. Any idea how to fix this?
when i pick the properties for the item it fails to do it??
Great tutorial works if a little buggy, leaves the compass arrow on my enemy after I killed him..looking forward to the next one to clean up a few bits :)
it wont compile when i click to make the properties
hey thanks for the tuts, im having a problem, my item (which is a key) wont show up in the inventory when i kill my enemy. Any ideas? ... Also my way pointers for the quest dont show,
Yeah its after the quest the arrow stays on him its also on the quest giver as well, also worth doing is the voice over make a new one for that actor and you can add in misc stuff like "hello adventurer" and "goodbyes" :) when s the next one ?
thanks for the info. Ill put it to us,e and get back to you if it works.
can someone tell me where can i get the creation kit. i cant find it on steam
One more thing too. After I kill the enemy (it's going to have two scripts I think) I want to make a script where in the quest the faction that i'm in turns hostile against me period. Because at that moment they still consider me friendly until I kill their lord. Still on the same stage set
LOL Can't wait to finish up my quests! I might upload them to Nexus.
I click properties to add gold but nothing happens. Otherwise the whole tutorial is perfect thanks for the help!
I got the same problem, can you help me if you have found out what caused it?
I get this when i save the item script(i have changed the name and id of my quest before)
Starting 1 compile threads for 1 files...

You ever figure this out?
@@HannahAndreu I dont remember its been 9 years lol
I have followed all of your tutorial videos for quests, and everything works perfectly... Except one thing. When I complete the quest, I don't receive the award, and the item isn't removed from my inventory. I can't figure out what's wrong. The coding is correct and it compiles just fine... The properties are all good too. ???
Same problem, I added the setstage(40) script to the last Quest branch.
i found it on the pirate bay :D but sometimes it gives me a dont send massage. thats my newest problem. and by the way its not on steam anymore
That it, I'm done. Making quests is way too annoying. I've followed everything step by step up until this point, and everytime I make a script it gives me an error. It won't let me add the property of gold, and everytime I try to make it the error message gets longer and longer. I think I'm just gonna make an cave or building or something.
+Short Kid Ross hey Short Kid Ross. Don't give up just yet, try this... go into your Skyrim directory and find a .rar called Scripts. Sometimes people's scripts don't work because of this reason. What I did is copy this file to desktop, right clicked and click Extract files. It will make a folder on your desktop. Go into the folder then Scripts then Source. Select everything in folder, copy all, then paste in Skyrim > Data > Scripts > Source. Reload the Creation Kit, try a script and see if you experience anymore errors. It worked for me.

No output generated for modscriptboss, compilation failed.
Are you go8ng to upload part 5 still?
Another problem, once I kill the Bandit nothing happens in the quest in game. Can you help?
wow these tutorials were great ahah thanks for your badass help! :D
Nice video but when is the next part coming ? :o
I can't seem to add properties on the script that gives my player gold... Ideas?
You cant see the Propeties button? I had the same problem but i could just see the a tiny little space of the button!
I've added another property to my reward (mead) But papyrus tells me:
-script property Mead already defined
-script variable ::Mead_var already defined
-script property Mead already has a get function defined
-script property Mead already has a set function defined
So I wanted to change the name of my property, it won't let me. So I figured, let's delete the property alltogether. Guess what! IT WON'T LET ME >:/
Please help me, this is very frustrating...
i can't get how to save this project i made it so i want to share my quest to my friends but i don't know how to save it if enyone knows how to save it please reply
click file while in creation kit and click upload plugin
@Crimson Drago - you have your reply feature turned off so I cannot reply to your help comment...
Nevermind, You have to put Actor killer between the OnDeath brackets and everything is fine :)
Thanks, okey.
Also, sorry for switching between two accs, heh.
fixed it..
more tutorials! =DDDD!!
A sword that powerful? I'd probably keep it.
Hah, okey.
I shouldnt take it out on you, the creation kit is a bitch after all.
There wont be a part five. Will there. All we have now are bugged scripts that can break our quest as you told us at the end. Which pretty much makes this whole tut series one big waste of time. Thanks for nothing.
