Type: QUST
Papyrus: Quest Script

Quests are the stories and adventures of Fallout 4. Quest objects are found in the Object Window under Character.

Editor Dialog

Quest Data

• ID: The ID, also referred to as Editor ID, is used by the Creation Kit to uniquely identify this record within a Data File.
• Quest Name: Display name of your quest. This is the in game name the player sees.
• Priority: Dialogue is assigned by priority. The dialogue for higher priority quests will take precedence over the dialogue of lower priority quests, in cases where the dialogue "stacks" (shared topic types, or blocking/exclusive branches). Aliases are also affected by priority. A quest with low priority will give way to another quest's aliases with higher priority. The higher the number, the higher the quest priority.
• Event: Any quest which specifies an Event can only be started by the Story Manager ("Start Game Enabled" will be greyed out). Quests which have no Event are started "manually", by calling Start, SetStage, or SetObjectiveDisplayed.
  • Start Game Enabled: Start the quest as soon as possible. Un-ticking this option saves on memory and helps minimize your quest's memory imprint on the game. Your quest will start running when the Start, SetStage, or SetObjectiveDisplayed commands are used.
  • Run Once: Prevents the Quest from being reset when it starts. If a "Start Game Enabled" quest is not also flagged to "Run Once", its OnInit event will fire twice.

For clarity, all forms of resetting including Reset() will not work when this is checked.

• • Warn on alias fill failure: Prints out alias fill errors to Papyrus Log. Useful when debugging quest alias order. If aliases fail to fill, the entire quest will fail and not function properly.
  • Allow repeated stages: If this box is checked, a journal entry will be displayed (and quest stage results run) every time SetStage is called for a particular stage number. Otherwise, SetStage has no effect after it is called the first time for any stage on a running quest.
  • Add Idle Topic To Hello:
• Quest Completion XP: Choose the amount of XP you want given to the player upon completing your quest.
• Type: Type of the Quest. Influences the presentation elements of your quest. Miscellaneous quests go under the Misc section in the Pipboy and do not display objective descriptions and summaries.
• Object Window Filter: The in CK "Folder" you'd like your quest to be categorized under. For example, Brotherhood of Steel\, Institute\, My Quest Category\, etc.
• SWF File: The special Flash swf to display upon quest completion. Most quests have special animation art associated with them.
• Location:
• Quest Group: Quest collection this quest belongs to.
• Recompile All Papyrus Scripts: Batch re-compiles all fragments associated with this quest.
• Export Dialogue Specific Voices: Batch export all dialogue associated with a specific Voicetype.
• Export Quest Dialogue: Batch export all of the quest's dialogue to a text file. The file can be located in Fallout 4's main directory.
• Exclude from dialogue export: Marks this quest to be ignored from batch exporting dialogue from the Character> Export Dialogue menu selection.
• Calculate Voice Assets: Evaluates (using the same process as the export) how many actual audio files are used by the quest. If this is larger than the Lines of Dialogue field, it means that some lines can be said by multiple voice types. If it is smaller, it means that some lines cannot be said by any voice types.
• Out of Date Dialogue: List of dialogue topics marked as "outdated".
• Lines of dialog:
• Text Display Globals:
• Quest Dialogue Conditions: Apply a condition to the entirety of a quest's dialogue. For example, if you set a GetIsID condition here, all dialogues within your quest would have to abide by this condition, otherwise they will not show up.
