If you end a quest can you still access the quest script variables? Or does everything about it go kaput?

You could try it and see. I prefer using global variables. Especially if you plan on ending the quest at some time in the future.

I was curious about this so went and looked it up in the wiki. This is what it says about your question.



Here's the link to the page if you want it:

I don't actually know from experience if it works this way or not. You'd need to test it to know for sure or wait for somebody who's done it for verification.

The variables stay intact. On the mod i'm working on, I have several quest scripts that I start and stop when required (StartQuest/StopQuest). When the quest is stopped, the variables are still available and have their values as of when the quest stopped. You can still use and modify the values from other scripts/quests/conditions/etc.

If you want to clear the variables of a quest, you can do a resetquest before the startquest.

I actually did test it like 10 seconds after I posted this since I remembered a really easy method I already have implemented that I just changed 1 thing, toggled god mode in game and voila.

But yes, it does work as in the wiki.
