Oof, okay.
I'll try just putting in Main_quest_loan and see what happens, I guess.
My preferred method was just to make the loan quest never start in the first place; the only reason I do this instead of just go sandbox is to play the normal story mode without the loan-quest annoyance.
Thanks, whether it works or not.
I don't know why I can't seem to find the old files like I used to with a search for words like "Loan" or something.
Edit1: [Seems to be a problem with some setting or other on this computer, I'll have to try to fix it but fuck if I even know where to start.
I've told it to search within files but it still doesn't pick up on words that are clearly within the relevant files...]
Edit 2: OKAY, solved the "Can't find text in files" problem by downloading agent ransack, since fiddling with settings in Windows itself didn't seem to do enough of anything... now on to the next level Zero coding struggles.
Edit 3: Okay, instead of anything else, for now I just deleted the line of code "code = 'add_timed_event', value = "loan_event1"," from the file "Scenedata.gd" and it seems to be fine at the moment... hopefully I don't run into any problems because of that.
