is there any event that triggers when a item (from which the script is called) enters player's inventory? and no, container change doesnt work, since when I get the item from my chest it wont trigger the script, I have to drop it on the ground and pick it up

if I understand the event right, I have to call it from player's inventory, how do I do that?

Make a quest alias named PlayerAlias -> specific Reference (cell: all, actor:playerREF), put the script on this alias.

So that OnItemAdded doesn't run for items you don't care about, you can use this: http://www.creationkit.com/AddInventoryEventFilter_-_ObjectReference

no matter what I do with player inventory, the quest stage & objective never changes

Scriptname ItemReceiveEvent extends ReferenceAlias  Quest Property ThisQuest  Auto  Event OnItemAdded(Form akBaseItem, int aiItemCount, ObjectReference akItemReference, ObjectReference akSourceContainer)	ThisQuest.SetObjectiveCompleted(10)	ThisQuest.SetObjectiveDisplayed(20)	ThisQuest.SetStage(20)endEvent

and I seem to not be able to find a way to post a picture, so anyone who wants to help me and check if I created alias right (specific reference - Ref; 'PlayerRef' (00000014) to NPC_ 'Player' (00000007)) send me a PM,

thanks!

and yes, "ThisQuest" is script alias for the correct quest

It should be Specific Reference > Cell (Any) > PlayerRef

that's how it is

Specific Reference > (any) > PlayerRef 'Player', the thing I posted is the text from updated button text in Fill Type section

That will appear when using that format.

It doesn't really matter though, you could also use the Unique actor version. Both point to the Player Actor form (0000007).

Matthaswag you got a PM with screenshot of alias dialog, unfortunatelly, I cant send it to you Terra >.<

edit: neither unique actor for player nor player inventory seem to not be working

I'm not sure why it isn't. It looks like it should...

Made a quest test. There's no way your method shouldn't work.

I made a small quest with 3 stages.

0 (start up)

5

10

My Objectives are just two indexes.

0 = "I need to find an item". This item being an alias that is created at the player's position on start up.

10 = "Find another item". This comes up when said item is found.

The script I used is similar but different functions used:

Event OnItemAdded(Form akBaseItem, int aiItemCount, ObjectReference akItemReference, ObjectReference akSourceContainer)        GetOwningQuest().SetObjectiveCompleted(0)        GetOwningQuest().SetCurrentStageID(10)        ; The new objective will be displayed in the stage fragment.    EndEvent

Stage 5: SetObjectiveDisplayed(0)

Stage 10: SetObjectiveDisplayed(10)

When item is picked up/added, Stage 10 is called.

So check out how your stages and objectives are set up.
