OnPackageEnd Not working. (Unknown type 'package') : V

» Tue Nov 20, 2012 3:48 am

The title. Im trying to make it so that when a package ends, in this case, FRLAiPackage, it updates a quest. The script is on actor FRLVerliunTrelus, with the following typed into the code.

Scriptname FRLEndPackage extends ObjectReferencePackage Property FRLAiPackage  AutoQuest Property FRLQuest01  AutoActor Property FRLVerliunTrelus  AutoEvent OnPackageEnd  (frlaipackage akOldPackage)  FRLQuest01.SetStage(40)  FRLQuest01.SetObjectiveDisplayed(40)  FRLQuest01.SetObjectiveCompleted(30)EndEvent

And in Response, it spits this at me.

Starting 1 compile threads for 1 files...
Compiling "FRLEndPackage"...
e:\pc gaming folder\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\FRLEndPackage.psc(10,34): unknown type frlaipackage
No output generated for FRLEndPackage, compilation failed.

Batch compile of 1 files finished. 0 succeeded, 1 failed.
Failed on FRLEndPackage

So, any ideas?

EDIT: Just so you know, I've tried it in all possible (reasonable) spellings and capitalization's.

My guess? OnPackageEnd is an Actor function, not an ObjectReference function.

Well, my visual papyrus reference, and the CKWIKI page show no evidence of that.

Event OnPackageEnd(Package akOldPackage)  Debug.Trace("We just stopped running the " + akOldPackage + " package")endEvent

That is an example code given for OnPackageEnd.

Plus, it's already on my actor.

Its an 'Actor' type script. Please look at the title of the function.

You are extending ObjectReference, instead of Actor.

Scriptname FRLEndPackage extends ObjectReference

oooooh. ok, may bad, Sorry. So, how would i fix this? I'm ok at writing cod,e just not good at putting it somewhere. Is it as simple as changing the line:

Scriptname FRLEndPackage extends ObjectReference

to something resembling

Scriptname FRLEndPackage extends Actor

That is correct. And its placed on the Actor. I had to learn this the hard way, trying to figure it out myself. :lol:

Once you get that, then you can see if there are any other issues.

I noticed a while back this appeared broke. I have aliases (extended referencealias ... which should pick up the actors events) and I noticed that OnPackageStart works but not OnPackageEnd. It has been a while since I tested, but I think OnPackageChange may work as well (which essentially gives you the same information as OnPackageEnd). Just use one of the other varients...

Still getting that unknown type error. Did i forget to move something?

Scriptname FRLEndPackage extends ActorPackage Property FRLAiPackage  AutoQuest Property FRLQuest01  AutoActor Property FRLVerliunTrelus  AutoEvent OnPackageEnd  (FRLAiPackage akOldPackage)  FRLQuest01.SetStage(40)  FRLQuest01.SetObjectiveDisplayed(40)  FRLQuest01.SetObjectiveCompleted(30)EndEvent

EDIT: oops. that's embarrassing. forgot to change to Actor extension.

EDIT2: here now is this new error.

Event OnPackageEnd (Package akOldPackage)
if (akOldPackage == FRLAiPackage)
;do stuff
endif
endEvent

Event OnPackageEnd (Package akOldPackage)
if (akOldPackage == FRLAiPackage)
;do stuff
endif
endEvent

Tried it, no luck. with both, Actor, and ObjectReference types extensions.

EDIT: ... OOOOOHHHH. It works. I misprinted the "Package" Part. Lol, my bad. thanks, time to test.
