Man I ve been strugglin for two days trying to figure out how this works and I already know that you will teach me, not to do exactly what I want, but what I need to know to get there. So thank you in advance. As a father and gamer let me tell you that you are doing a really good job at keeping this rolling. God bless you and your family.
A bit late, but I just wanted to say that I really appreciate the style of your videos in this series. I'm one of those people who are looking to learn and really understand what's being shown, rather than looking for quick info on the steps to do a particular task, and so the full explanations and discussion on each topic is really useful. Thank you.
I like Seddon's tutorials, but yours really click better for me. Because you explain so much, it's easier to understand how things work and what mistakes to avoid
I appreciate the clarity of the instructions. I must be missing something, because even when I carefully set up a mod just like this one, I cannot get it to pop up on the screen or in the pipboy. I only know the quest ran because it gives XP when I walk through the objective.
I used this method to start my quest mod, and it worked when I tested it. I continued building my mod and when I finally went to test it again it will not trigger the quest to start any more. I am beginning to understand why not that many modders make quest mods.
Usually when a quest won't start its because of a problem with aliases. I recommend temporarily flagging all your aliases as optional, and check in game which ones didn't fill- those will be your problems. You can see which filled by running the console command: sqv yourQuestsEditorId It will list a bunch of stuff about your quest and you use the Page Up/Pg Down keys to look through them. The most common alias to fail to fill is a unique actor that you didn't stick in the world somewhere.
Quest priority is very important when quests initialize, Quests are intialized in priority order starting with Priority 0 and working up from there. This is important to make sure your priority is higher than any other Quest that it is dependant on, the big Quest where this is important is the WorkshopParent Quest. Settlement mods injecting workshops should make sure they have a higher priority than the WorkshopParent. While this isn't the only Quest where this is important it is certainly the most prominent as it has a large amount of data which is managed by Papyrus scripts which are sensitive to the order they are executed in. ie: The WorkshopParent needs to initialize before settlement mods try injecting new workshops.
Thank you for doing this great work. I was always surprised and curious why the Creation Club stuff has zero effort put into quest start. Feels amateur, it's so bizarre.
I wish I could find a similar video on Quest Making but for Skyrim, as FO's CK and Skyrim's CK have differences. (Why did they remove Designer Notes !? God damn it Bethesda).

Thank you for making this series; I too learn better when I understand why things are done, so these have been helpful.

Thank you this is exactly what I need. An hour long, "the more you know" type of a tutorial.

@@kinggath That fixed it! Thank you ever so much, I was afraid I was about to lose a months progress.

The trigger box not showing :( It's impossible to use Creation Kit.
