Hi Guys any help is welcome

Why is my script not working? I set the script's property as an action which may be the problem


Scriptname MAOnDeathDameDeVix extends ObjectReference

Action Property AddSpellOnDeath Auto

Event OnDeath(Actor killer)
Player.addSpell 0200412C
EndEvent

Is this part of a quest mate?

You need to change it to:

Scriptname MAOnDeathDameDeVix extends ObjectReference  Actor Property playerRef autoSpell Property AddSpellOnDeath  auto  Event OnDeath(Actor killer)  playerRef.addSpell(AddSpellOnDeath)EndEvent

Assuming the spell you wish to add has the editor ID ''AddSpellOnDeath'' in creation kit you can just enter the properties window and press auto-fill all. Otherwise you need to fill the property for the spell manually (can still auto-fill playerRef)

no it is a simple spell that the player should get on death of an "Actore" in this case a Wisp...I try without adding any property but it does not compile.
any help is welcome at this point

The spell is a custom spell shouldn't I add the spell ID?

You choose the spell when you add the spell property to the script. So rather than calling the spell to add by it's ID, you call the property, which is linked to the spell. I think that's what Borgut means.

ok I am trying the bugger and will report

ok here is the script, it compiles just fine except in game when I do kill the wisp the spell does not add to my magic inventory...

Scriptname OnDeathDameScript extends ObjectReference

Actor Property playerRef auto
Spell Property ConjureDameDeVix auto

Event OnDeath(Actor killer)
playerRef.addSpell(ConjureDameDeVix)
EndEvent

I guess u forgot to set the properties. Did you take a look at some tutorials already on www.creationkit.com, or did you jump right into it? There are some large differences between skyrim scripting and previous bethesda games (properties being one of them), so i would advise you to look at some scripting tutorials first

As for how to fix your current problem, you need to rightclick the script you've attached and click ''Edit Properties'' and set them up as I described in previous post.

Thanks Man, it worked...thanks again for your patience
