Papyrus: Howto collect citizens

[zaira]

When I start a quest in a tavern I try to collect a citizen in the current city (outside of the tavern) with this conditions:

 

Find Matching References:

• Subject IsInSameCurrentLocationAsRef(PlayerRef, LocTypeCity) == 1
• Subject GetInSameCell(PlayerRef) == 0
• Subject HasKeyword(ActorTypeNPC) == 1
• Subject GetSleeping() == 0

But I never get any references. What am I doing wrong?

the part "GetInSameCell(PlayerRef) == 0" doesn't work, because the only npc the quest can find are the once in the same cell with the player, so you have to set it to "== 1"

 

also i wouldn't use the first condition, seems redundant. If i got you right you want a NPC that belongs to the current city where the inn is? For that you can better use:

"GetInFaction(NameOfCityCrimeFaction)  == 1" however that wouldn't work for the smaller villages, for example Rorikstead belongs to the Whiterun crime faction.

As far as I heard I can also fill unique actors when they are not in the current cell.

 

The intention is to acquire guests for the tavern
