I have an NPC that is supposed to give the player 500 gold for every bug jar they turn in. What I want to happen is that every time you turn in a jar, without changing the quest stage, it gives him the jar and you 500 gold. How can I do that?
Do I just write a scipt extending AliasReference?

Yeah, you have to create AliasReference of gold

I tried adding this script to the dialogue:

Scriptname InsectTurnIN extends ReferenceAlias  Alias Property TBJBurke  Auto  Alias Property Insect  Auto  MiscObject Property Gold01  Auto  Int Property Quantity = 500 Auto  function giveBug()	TBJBurke.GetReference().AddItem(Insect.GetReference())	Game.getPlayer().addItem(Gold01, Quantity)endFunction

and I get these errors

Starting 1 compile threads for 1 files...
Compiling "InsectTurnIN"...
c:\program files\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\InsectTurnIN.psc(12,13): GetReference is not a function or does not exist

You can do this the easy way.

Scriptname InsectTurnIN extends ReferenceAliasMiscObject Property Gold01  Auto

But this

Game.getPlayer().addItem(Gold01, 500)

you have to write in the dialogue

If it doesn't work, rename Scriptname InsectTurnIN extends ReferenceAlias on this Scriptname InsectTurnIN extends ObjectReference

Even after removing the Gold line, it still gives me the same errors. I tried both extending and importing ObjectReference, no help/

The first two errors are because of this line:


The type Alias does not have a GetReference() function. Maybe you meant to make these properties type ReferenceAlias? The third error is kinda bogus since it is just complaining about GetReference() returning nothing, but it can't find the function anyhow so it doesn't know what it returns.

I am concerned with this piece:


Do you ever call giveBug() anywhere?

What I did is what they show in the tutorial for making a quest on the wiki (see Bendu Olo, under the objectives part)
They show it using aliases with getreference. Why can't I?

Also, I do not know what you mean by 'calling' giveBug. Usually what I do is include the code within the script, and then basically repeat it in the Papyrus fragment.
