Hi. I want to create an assassination quest - a simple one - go here, kill this person, return to sender.

Iv had a look around but Iv not found anything resembling a tutorial on this. Can anyone help me or point me at a relevant tutorial please. I don't need anything fancy, no joining guilds or brotherhoods, just get job, do job, get paid.

cheers

Don't know if one exists, so I'll write a VERY quick one here, assuming from scratch

1. Create two new NPCS -- one your Victim, one your Quest Giver.
2. Place them in the world.
3. Open the Quest Menu.
4. Right-Click the list of Quests, and Select New
5. Name your Quest.
6. Check that it is set to run at the start of the game. Give it a priority (I use 90, personally)
7. Click the "Stages" tab, make 3 stages: 0, 10, 20 -- Give 10 the "Go here" text, and 20 the "It is done" text
8. Click the "Topics" tab.
9. Click the thin bar, and select "Add Topic"
10. Scroll to "GREETING". Click OK
11. Enter Topic Text, and use the bottom section to set "GetIsID [Target] == 1" to Target is your NPC
12. Create a new Script, something like:

ScriptName AssinationScriptBegin OnDeathSetStage [QuestID] 20End

13. Attach that to your Victim NPC

This would give you a VERY basic quest, where the PC is given a job and completes it-- the quest would complete as soon as the NPC dies, without the Player having to do anything else; however, doing it this way should give you an idea of the basics so you can experiment with exactly what you want I'd suggest testing out with a new .esp, and if you have any questions, just ask

Thats excellent thanks, I'm off to give it a go!

CDM - that was excellent thanks. It worked like a charm, and with a little peering into other Quests I managed to work out a way so that the player can be paid for his assassination services. I think this very simple outline of a quest has taught me more about quest building than most of the tutorials Iv seen, where I simply have to follow the tutorial to get a result.

Excellent job, thanks for your reply
