Just today, I got the creation kit, and I've started working on the scripts for a big mod I'm working on. After about 30 minutes of work, I got a rough version that covered most of the stuff I wanted, and removed all of the compiling errors, all but two that is, and I have no idea what to do about those. The script is post directly below, after that, I posted the errors I got


Scriptname cohTransformTiming extends Quest
{Controls the Timing for transformation.}
short cohGetMoonPhase
floor cohPhaseDay
int cohCanTransform
int cohbmvar
cohGetMoonPhase = (( GameDaysPassed + ( GetCurrentTime / 24 ) - 0.5 ) % 24 )
cohGetMoonPhase = cohPhaseDay / 3
;/List of moon phases returned by cohGetMoonPhase calculation

6 = half waxing
7 = 3/4 waxing/;
If GetCurrentTime >= 20 || GetCurrentTime <= 6 && cohPhaseDay = 1 && cohbmvar != 1
cohWWtimingQuest.SetQuestStage 5
cohCanTransform = 1
elseif GetCurrentTime >= 20 || GetCurrentTime <= 6 && cohbmvar = 1
cohWWtimingQuest.SetQuestStage 10
cohCanTransform = 1
elseif GetCurrentTime <= 20 || GetCurrentTime >= 6
cohWWtimingQuest.setQuestStage 0
cohCanTransform = 0
endif

if cohCanTransform = 1
player.addmagiceffect WerewolfChangeEffect
elseif cohCanTransform = 0
player.removemagiceffect WerewolfChangeEffect
endif
endif
end





Obviously some of the syntax is wrong, but I have absolutely no idea what the errors it's returning mean. We may all be new to this, but I'd appreciate any help I get.

When do you expect the script to run? Papyrus allows you to listen for various Event types - http://www.creationkit.com/Papyrus

You know, I get the feeling the above was an automated response. I still have no idea what those error messages mean, and can't find any pages on the wiki detailing what they mean.

You need to add an event to your script. If I remember correctly, code outside of events and other functions can only be declarative.

You got those errors because the compiler expected to find declarative code, but found something else instead.

Cipscis

Oh, I see. Wouldn't have hurt the Beth guy to explain that the event thing was the problem I was having, though I imagine he's really busy.

There's some great documentation of Papyrus on the http://www.creationkit.com that does a good job of explaining it. Take a look at the links from the http://www.creationkit.com/Category:Papyrus page.

Cipscis

I actually have. I can't seem to figure out what event I need to do to make this function like global scripts did back in tesscript days, or even how to replicate the function of the old Begin Gamemode block.

Nope, not automated!

Take a look at http://www.creationkit.com/Differences_from_Previous_Scripting. It's written specifically to help folks who are familiar with the older language learn how to transition to working in Papyrus.

Alright, I used OnUpdate for the event, it sounds like Gamemode

if cohCanTransform = 1
player.addmagiceffect WerewolfChangeEffect

endif
endif
EndEvent
end


Now its giving me two new errors.

You have no parentheses following your OnUpdate()

oops. Thanks for the quick and nonautomated or copy-pasted response.

Hiya - just a Papyrus Noobie like the rest of us, but I'm guessing this is because that 'OnUpdate' needs '()' after it, like "Event OnUpdate()"
"mismatched input '\\r''n' expecting LPAREN" sounds like it hit return/newline (that is the end of the line) but was expecting a left parenthesis, "("?

Just a guess, but it seems plausible. And it might get rid of the other error too, if it's caused by the fact the compiler didn't recognise your 'event onUpdate' line...


Edit... damn! ninja'd!
Edit2: but at least it seems I was right!

Well, I've whittled things down to just and handfull of errors, one of which is intentional since I'm looking up how to make a script check an actor (the player in this case) for a magic effect, and two of which are incorrect syntax (looking at the questmaking pages now to find the change quest stage command)

PS: Thanks for the help everyone who's posted on this thread.

Forms can't be referred to directly by their editorIDs in Papyrus. You'll need to create a property, and assign the appropriate form as that property's value in the dialogue window of the scripted form in the Creation Kit.

If I remember correctly, by naming a property the same as the form you need it to use, its default value will be that form.

Cipscis

You mean like this?

Scriptname cohTransformTiming extends Quest

_cohGetMoonPhase
floor property cohPhaseDay

if cohCanTransform = 1
player.addmagiceffect(WerewolfChangeEffect)

EndEvent



It seems to be working better, but its still returning 2 errors.

No, you'll want to use syntax like this for declaring properties:

Quest property cohWWtimingQuest auto

The "auto" keyword tells the compiler to auto-generate get and set functions for your property. Your lines like this are invalid, and were causing that error:

_cohGetMoonPhase

Cipscis

Nice, that's one problem down, and it looks likes there's just one thing in the way.

Ah, that looks like it's due to your using a single = operator (which signifies assignment) instead of a double equals operator (==, which signifies direct comparison).

You'll also need to change this line:

if GetGlobalValue(PlayerIsWerewolf = 1)

To something like this:

if GetGlobalValue(PlayerIsWerewolf) == 1

There might be another issue or two, but it's hard to tell when reading unformatted code (just so you know, BBCode's "code" tags can help with that - quote my post for a preview), and the compiler should let us know if there are any remaining problems.

Ah thanks. I knew that == was necessary in tesscript, but I was under the impression that you just used single = signs for whatever reason. Still getting those errors though...

oops. Herpaderp. I forgot to save the script after adding in the =='s

There's only one error now, and it looks as if its due to me not knowing the right name for a global variable.

Cool, it looks like the syntax errors are all sorted. Now just go through one by one:
- You want "int", not "short"
- You want "float", not "floor"
- Check if you need to import anything for the "unrecognised" stuff
- You have one or more "undefined variable" errors. Remember global variables require properties, instead of referring to them straight by editorID

Cipscis

Oh yeah, importing, I probably need to do that for the script commands that aren't being recognized...How exactly would I go about declaring a property for the global variables though?


As for the import, it would just go

import GetCurrentTime
import GameDaysPassed (though actually that's not the right script command, I'm not sure which one is at this point.)

Just checked the wiki, and http://www.creationkit.com/GetCurrentTime is a console-only function. GameDaysPassed is a global variable, so you'll need another property of type Global to access it.

For imports, which it looks like you won't need to use, you would have needed to use the parent script. For example:

import Game

Cipscis

Ah, thanks...Wait, the magic effects are all still listed as undefined...

And how am I supposed to check the time if its console only? Certainly there must be some stock quests and scripts that are time dependant! But of course there are, and obviously this is on the wiki somewhere...Though I'm not sure where.
