Can anyone give me a hand? I've been hacking away at this for an hour and I can't seem to get it to work.

This script is attached to my player. I know my Perk works and I know the OnItemAdded() works. However, I can't seem to pass the specific perk I want to add to the script. I have a feeling I'm doing something with the property incorrectly. Guidance! I need guidance, Thanks in advance,

Scriptname MyScript extends ObjectReference  Perk Property MyPerk autoEvent OnItemAdded(Form akBaseItem, int aiItemCount, ObjectReference akItemReference, ObjectReference akSourceContainer)		Actor player=Game.GetPlayer()		If(akBaseItem=="MyItem")	player.AddPerk(MyPerk)  	EndIf	endEventEvent OnItemRemoved(Form akBaseItem, int aiItemCount, ObjectReference akItemReference, ObjectReference akSourceContainer)		Actor player = Game.GetPlayer()	If (akBaseItem=="MyItem")		player.RemovePerk(MyPerk)  	EndIf	endEvent

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

After you add a script to something, you can double-click the script to bring up the properties window. There, you should assign your perk to the property "MyPerk".

Right, so I had tried that as well. It now looks like this:

Scriptname MyScript extends ObjectReference  Perk Property MyPerk = MyCreatedPerk AutoEvent OnItemAdded(Form akBaseItem, int aiItemCount, ObjectReference akItemReference, ObjectReference akSourceContainer)				Actor player=Game.GetPlayer()				If(akBaseItem=="MyItem")		player.AddPerk(MyPerk)  		EndIf		endEventEvent OnItemRemoved(Form akBaseItem, int aiItemCount, ObjectReference akItemReference, ObjectReference akSourceContainer)				Actor player = Game.GetPlayer()		If (akBaseItem=="MyItem")				player.RemovePerk(MyPerk)  		EndIf		endEventPerk Property MyPerk = MyCreatedPerk Auto

This is what happens now:

Data\Scripts\Source\temp\MyScript.psc(25,25): no viable alternative at input 'MyPerk'

Here is your problem:

Perk Property MyPerk = MyCreatedPerk Auto

Revert that line back to

Perk Property MyPerk Auto

and then get out of the script. Right-click the script, go to Properties, and then assign a value through that interface.

Ah, I see. Unfortunately, I have just arrived at work so I won't be able to try that until tonight. Is this always true of Properties, they must be assigned in that interface and not in the script? Or is this only true for certain property types?

Yes... sad, but true

I find it easier to add the property in the interface rather than the script. The CK adds an auto prorperty line to your script automatically.

You can assign Properties directly in the script, then fill them with the interface. If you have many, many Properties to define it goes faster to copy/paste in the script.

Thanks, GraniteDevil. I was searching this forum for help on casting a spell in a script. I thought I was doing everything right, but when I followed your suggestion, I saw that the Edit Properties interface ties the name declared in the script to the ID of the spell itself. In short order, I had my script running. Thanks, again.
