This is not a script problem, since the code is based on a vanilla script called PlayerHorseScript. The problem is getting the Property Manager to play nice.

I have 4 aliases which will all run exactly the same script. However the property Manager complains each time I try to enter properties. I enter the code, save and then open up the property manager. I add the Type & name and click OK... then I get the following complaint ...


This is the point when I scream "I know its undefined - thats why I'm trying to define it!!! - before all this you were saying it was already defined. Make up your mind!"
When I look at the script again, the properties are added but I cannot assign them to anything. So why can I not get the property manager to work?


Here is the script (based on the vanilla "PlayerHorseScript").

oh, and I aleady spotted the error in the case (MySelf & Myself) but it is on the vanilla script. So I leave it there for general awareness. Is Payrus case -sensitive btw?

Scriptname pre_MyScriptNameScript extends ReferenceAlias;; this script is based on the vanilla PlayerHorseScript;Event OnDeath(Actor akKiller)  MySelf = GetActorReference()EndEventEvent OnUnload()  If MySelf.IsDead() == 1  ; disable the dead horse if it is unloaded	MySelf.Disable()	MySelf.Delete()  ; added a new horse that can be bought at the stables	Myself = StablesPosition.PlaceActorAtMe(lvlHorseSaddled)	Alias_HorseRef.ForceRefTo(MySelf)	Alias_HorseRef.GetRef().SetFactionOwner(StablesFaction)EndIfEndEvent

Did you include the 'Property' & 'Auto' keywords with your variables?
Would you mind including the first part of your script here, where you declare all variables?

There are no variables, just properties. They are on the original vanilla script at the bottom in this case. Although, I thought it was supposed to be the property manager that does all that. Add the properties when you define them, and then click edit property to assign them to whatever. So MySelf is assigned to one horse in one script, and in another script, MySelf is asigned to another horse etc. Although you never see it on the script.

When I add it to the propery manager, what you see below is added even though I get an error report. Although The propert manager itself is blank.

 Actor Property MySelf  Auto  ObjectReference Property StablesPosition  Auto  ActorBase Property LvlHorseSaddled  Auto  ReferenceAlias Property Alias_HorseRef  Auto  Faction Property StablesFaction  Auto 

If I add the properties as above and then use the propert manager, I get this error instead:

Papyrus isn't case sensitive, afaik.

Adding these lines somewhere in your script should make it compile. No guarantees on functionality, though.

Actor	        Property MySelf		 AutoReferenceAlias  Property Alias_HorseRef  AutoFaction	        Property StablesFaction  AutoActorBase	Property lvlHorseSaddled AutoObjectReference Property StablesPosition Auto

I wasn't sure what type to declare StablesPosition as, so I declared it as ObjectReference.

Edit: I should refresh pages before I post...

I was re-editing my post too, then the forum went buggy

Ah... its working now I added what you said. I just need to recompile it. Now I can assign everything. Thanks.
