RI Executive Level Quest Start Fix

[Constellation-VASCO]

Determined that Ryujin Industries quest RI08 "Executive Level" fails to start if you have previously killed Ularu's door guard. Corrected quest alias conditions to allow for this actor to be dead. Quest now starts as expected after the quest "Sabotage".

Interesting in rolling this into the community patch and joining for the long term so long as I become a contributor.

Determined that Ryujin Industries quest RI08 "Executive Level" fails to start if you have previously killed Ularu's door guard (17CF0E). Corrected quest alias conditions to allow for this actor to be dead. Quest now starts as expected after the quest "Sabotage".

If you've already failed to start the Executive Level quest, some console commands will be needed to get you back on track:

startquest 18B717
setstage 18B717 100

I've just looked at the quest script. From what I can tell, making the actor optional is fine.

If we use "Allow dead" it does mean that the dead guard will be teleported to Alias_SecurityPostFurniture or Alias_SecurityGuardMasakoFurniture which may not be desirable, especially if the actor has been cleaned up. It may be safer to just mark the guard as optional - but if the Alias fails to fill stages 1000 and 1100 will throw errors

I've added a variation of this fix, Alias_RyujinIndustriesSecurity is now marked optional (the other flags are not required). The quest script qf_ri08_0018b717 has been updated where it was using

Alias_RyujinIndustriesSecurity.GetRef().MoveTo(Alias_SecurityPostFurniture.GetRef(), 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, True, False)
Alias_RyujinIndustriesSecurity.GetRef().MoveTo(Alias_SecurityGuardMasakoFurniture.GetRef(), 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, True, False)

these have been replaced with

Alias_RyujinIndustriesSecurity.TryToMoveTo(Alias_SecurityPostFurniture.GetRef())
Alias_RyujinIndustriesSecurity.TryToMoveTo(Alias_SecurityGuardMasakoFurniture.GetRef())

this will avoid papyrus errors as GetReference() will return nothing on an empty alias.
