I've made a few quests with no questgiver, so I've omitted a _qgclicked_ task. Checking player.log, it looks like DFU forcibly expects one, though the quests still boot. Should I be adding a _qgclicked_ to every quest?

The quest system itself has no knowledge of "_qgclicked_", that's not hardcoded anywhere in the quest system itself. Quests without a specific quest giver should be allowed to live and die on their own terms.

It's worth checking that _qgclicked_ doesn't actually appear in the script somewhere. Can you attached the quest script and copy-paste error message for me?

I checked for qgclicked, and none turned up. I also added a _qgclicked_ variable just as a failsafe, but that didn't stop it.

Thanks, I'll take a look now. For some reason this quest causes my game to hang completely in the editor. I'll track down what's happening.

For the hanging issue, I happened to execute this quest in Sentinel region, and seems there's very few house1 towns available. I put a maxAttempts sanity check into the Place resource so it at least gives up and throws an error if it can't find the specified building type. Running this in Daggerfall province works OK.

For the other "_qgclicked_" issue, I don't get this on my end. You almost certainly have a dead version of the quest stuck in the quest machine. Use "clearmqstate" to purge the quest machine and try starting quest again. Let me know how you go.

It looks like you were right. I started with a full purge, and then after trying it again I didn't get that error message. Thank you.

For the other one, that might explain my problem with quests hanging at init with house3. The full list of hung variables in Ilessan Hills was furnitureshop, house3, house5, house6, house7, town1, and town4. So I'll have some new things to try once the new version comes out.

Two birds with one stone.

I might rework the "remote houseX" handling in future, there's probably a better way to do this. I'm still really surprised I was unable to find any house1 locations in Sentinel though.

At least it won't hang from the next version. I was counting attempts, but had forgotten to put in the sanity break.

Is "take item from PC" compatible with gold amounts? In other words, could I make an NPC rob some gold from you?

Not yet, but it easily could.

Do not worry. I promise not to be unfairly evil
