I have some big quests and if i need to fix a single type on a msg event out of 20 of them.. it seems impossible, trying to remove events seems to target the wrong events and is unpredictable

i have had to just delete the whole quest and remake it from scratch every time..

Do you still have one/some of those big quests? I would like to test it. Could you also tell me what events were you trying to remove and what happened instead?

i am sure there are bigger quests, but heres the one i was messing with:

i was trying to fix a typo on event 1:4
i tried using q event remove 1:4 doesn't like that
i tried 1 4, i thinK? i can't recall if it worked

but basically it was removing things from event 0 and event 2 even i think?
i don't know how to replace an existing event, or apparently don't know how to target a specific event line

i ended up remaking the whole quest (and saving all the commands for them now)
