Does anyone know how to get this function working: creationkit.c o m/AddPerk_-_Actor (dont have permission to post links? wtf)

I have done:


EVENT OnEffectStart(Actor Target, Actor Caster)
mySelf = caster
caster.AddPerk(ArmsmanRank1) --also tried variations of ("ArmsmanRank1") (000BABE4) etc..
endEVENT

and on compile i get either "ArmsmanRank1 variable undefined" or "mismatch on parameter 1 (did you forget a cast?)"

any ideas?

My guess is you're not using a property for the perk? Check out thishttp://www.gamesas.com/topic/1345130-having-papyrus-trouble-here-are-some-things-to-try/, read Cipscis' comment at the bottom.

I've just written a post explaining this here - http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1345130-having-papyrus-trouble-here-are-some-things-to-try/page__view__findpost__p__20277117

EDIT:

Ah, I've been ninja'd!

Cipscis

you guys are awesome thank you so much! setting the property was the problem.


Perk Property Armsman Auto
(then selected the proper perk from the drop down list)
caster.addperk(Armsman)

wooo!

Yup everything is an object reference, so you have to have it "populated" via a property set to the instance.

Also, be careful with AddPerk. If you're adding perks to the player through script, that works fine. But the AddPerk command is broken and does not work for any actor other than the player.
