Making a letter item permanent (and keeping the contents)
Posted: Mon Feb 03, 2020 11:57 pm
I am making good progress with my little quest line.
At the beginning of the quest, the player gets a letter (which actually serves as a newspaper) which is connected with a message, so the player can read the paper.
I want to make this item permanent, so it does not disappear magically once the quest ends. But when I make the item permanent, the content is lost and it just ends up as parchment.
I use the following code:
Is there a way to preserve both item and associated text?
Or (as I fear) is the text lost simply because the message (1020) only exists as long as the quest is running and because the message (1020) is removed with the finished quest, the item can only be empty parchment?

Code: Select all
Item _BHCIssue_ letter used 1020
give pc _BHCIssue_ notify 1010
make _BHCIssue_ permanent
