cannot name a variable or property the same as a known type : V

What? When I try to make a property this message appears. What does this mean, and how can I fix it?

That means you tried to name a variable or property something like one of the following:

Actor
Int
Property
Quest
magicImodScript
etc.

What do you mean, like I used a name that was similar to one of those?

You can't name a property the same as a 'known type'. So you can't name a property something like 'Actor' or 'Int' because those are known types. They're words recognized by the compiler as denoting what type of variable something is. Those types of words are reserved, and shouldn't be used for anything other than in declaring the type of a variable/property.

Basically, don't use any words on http://www.creationkit.com/Category:Papyrus_Language_Reference or names of scripts as the name of a variable or property.

Ok gotcha. Thanks.
