I am currently trying to write a simple Papyrus fragment for a dialogue event; However, I keep getting an error that I can't figure out. I haven't worked with any of Bethesda's old scripting languages, but I am pretty familiar with coding logic (having coded in Basic, C++ and GML, and UnrealSc.). I know what I want to do is simple from a code persepective, but I must be doing something wrong, because every time I try to compile a simple script, I get this error:

"\TIF__01002F00.psc(11,6): no viable alternative at input '\\r\\n"


The code I'm trying to compile is :


If (GetPCIsRace() == RedguardRace || GetPCIsRace() == BretonRace || GetPCIsRace() == NordRace || GetPCIsRace() == ImperialRace)
Game.GetPlayer().AddItem(MOD1SecretInvitationHU)
ElseIf
EndIf




Any help is appreciated.

You have nothing after ElseIf. If you use Elseif you need a condition.

If (GetPCIsRace() == RedguardRace || GetPCIsRace() == BretonRace || GetPCIsRace() == NordRace || GetPCIsRace() == ImperialRace)	 Game.GetPlayer().AddItem(MOD1SecretInvitationHU)EndIf

or

If (GetPCIsRace() == BretonRace || GetPCIsRace() == NordRace || GetPCIsRace() == ImperialRace)	 Game.GetPlayer().AddItem(MOD1SecretInvitationHU)ElseIf (GetPCIsRace() == RedguardRace)     Game.GetPlayer().AddItem(MOD2SecretInvitationHU)EndIf

Ok, so that fixed my initial error, but now I have two new errors (about) for every race listed. My first instinct is to use a property, but the CK isn't letting me declare a race property for my script.

My Code:

If (GetPCIsRace() == RedguardRace || GetPCIsRace() == BretonRace || GetPCIsRace() == NordRace || GetPCIsRace() == ImperialRace)	Game.GetPlayer().AddItem(MOD1SecretInvitationHU)EndIf

Errors:

Ok, first of, read http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1347469-how-to-ask-for-scripting-help/. Next, can I see the whole script?

That is the whole script. That is so far. I was going to finish writing the script once I got the simple part to work.


The final script should looks something like:

If (GetPCIsRace() == RedguardRace || GetPCIsRace() == BretonRace || GetPCIsRace() == NordRace || GetPCIsRace() == ImperialRace)		Game.GetPlayer().AddItem(MOD1SecretInvitationHU)ElseIf (GetPCIsRace() == HighElfRace || GetPCIsRace() == WoodElfRace || GetPCIsRace() == DarkElfRace)		Game.GetPlayer().AddItem(MOD1SecretInvitationElv)ElseIf (GetPCIsRace() == ArgonianRace)		Game.GetPlayer().AddItem(MOD1SecretInvitationAr)ElseIf (GetPCIsRace() == KhajiitRace)		Game.GetPlayer().AddItem(MOD1SecretInvitationKj)EndIf

But Like I said, what's was already posted is the only code I have so far.

looking at the errors your getting, that cannot be 'everything' that is in your script.
Your missing the definitions, the scriptname, the event, the functions... There must be more to your script.

I'm copying and pasting directly from editor.

OH... Wait.. My fault. I'm copying the fragment. You guys need the source. 1 Sec....(TBH) I forgot about the source.

Is that what you guys need?


EDIT: Well, there's an obvious problem with the properties...

Yeah!

Race Property ImperialRace  Auto  Race Property ImperialRace  Auto  Race Property ImperialRace  Auto  Race Property NordRace  Auto  Race Property NordRace  Auto  

Errors: script property ImperialRace already defined

You have these multiple times, isn't that obvious? You define ImperialRace 3 times when only once is needed. Same with the others.

Ok, so upon deleting the repetitive races, I am told that GetPCIsRace is not a function, but I know it is, I just don't know what it's located under. I believe I need "something.GetPCIsRace()" but I don't know what "something" is. can you guys help me out?

It's a condition function - you can't call it from Papyrus. You want to use http://www.creationkit.com/GetRace_-_Actor instead.

Cipscis

Oh... I see. So Condition functions can't be use in Papyrus, Gotcha.

Been working on the code. It's coming along nicely now. Thanks for that.

I've learned some things. I'll post again if I need anything. Thanks Guys.

Okay, so this is less a Papyrus problem, but... As mentioned before my script is in a Dialouge Response. The goal is to have the NPC give the play a letter (based on race, which is what all the coding was). However, now I have one topic branch and one topic info, and one response. My code is placed in the begin section of the response pane. When I am forcegreeted and start the topic, I do not get the items. Anyone have any ideas?

Just in case, here's my final code:

Okay, so I added a Debug Messagebox in an "Else" condition to my code, otherwise it's the same. Apparently it doesn't think that my Wood Elf is a Wood Elf, becuase the textbox appears.

did you hook those book properties up to the books they represent in the script's ck properties?

Yes. Actually IU figured it out. I'm sorry. I forgot to assign properties to the races. Was able to fix it.
