I'm simply setting a stage and the debug message in the stage fragment says the stage (stage 10) is being set, but sqv for my quest says it's still at stage 20, and the packages dependent on this stage aren't working. I have the quest set for repeated stages. I don't get it because I need that stage reset to validate a package. I'm setting the stage via the script below. Do you see anything wrong with that perhaps? (it appears to be working correctly because the message on the stage fragment is showing the stage is getting set.)

if (BalokTrainingScenes.IsRunning())              BalokTrainingScenes.SetCurrentStageID(10)elseif (BalokTrainingScenesSons.IsRunning())              BalokTrainingScenesSons.SetCurrentStageID(10)elseif (BalokTrainingScenesImperial.IsRunning())             BalokTrainingScenesImperial.SetCurrentStageID(10)else    ;do nothingendif

Has stage 10 ever been set in the past? If so, you need to select "allow repeated stages". I don't see anything wrong with your code (though, there is a shorter alias to the SetCurrenStageID() method, just use SetStage() ).

Yep, it's set for repeated stages. That's why this is so perplexing. Sometimes I get errors using setstage() like in certain scripts, not sure why. So I've just taken to doing it the long way since it seems it usually doesn't give me errors. Hey, I need to talk to you about Helgen and Frostfall too. Someone told me it's set to be pretty harsh in your mod? Does that affect just the player or general population too? (I've been working on this for a year now, and it has not snowed on Helgen one single time, lol. Lot's of rain though, lol.

GetStage() always returns the highest value. If you set stage 10, GetStage() will continue to return 20.

You will have to use some sort of variable to condition the packages on.

So are you saying that even if I have repeated stages allowed, once it's set to a higher stage, the lower stages are useless as a package condition? In other words, let's say my package needs to be valid only for stage 10, if I set the same quest to stage 20 which makes that package invalid, I cannot reset it to stage 10 later on to re-validate that package? If so, what's the point of repeated stages?

And, if the above is true, how do I set a variable on the quest above from another quest to set the variables that will validate or invalidate my packages? I tried this:

(MyQuest as MyOtherQuestsVariableScript).iMyVariable = 1

But that didn't work, I think because it has something to do with setting the variables from another quest script that's not on the quest doing the calling. (I'm not sure if my terminology is correct, so let me know if I'm not making sense.)

Yes.

Example of repeated stages: being able to call the same stage multiple times to run the same bit of coding, or to display the same bit of text repeatedly (more so for Oblivion that Skyrim, since Skyrim has objectives).
