scn H52EWDTReductionPulseSCRIPTref Targetfloat fTimerBegin OnHit        Set Target to GetSelf	Target.AddPerk H52DTEWReductionPulse	Target.RemovePerk H52DTEWReductionPulseEnd

It gives no error message, but when I save and click exit, it does not save. I can't find it by hand or with the filter. Any clues?

Hmmm, I dont see anything there that would make an error. All I can think of is maybe you typed the name of the perk in wrong or something? I tried it in the Fo3 geck commenting out the perk part and it saved no problems. Check the perks name? Thats all I could think it would be. :shrug:

I've directly copied it from the perk entry.

Thanks though.

Don't use http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/GetSelf like that - it's completely unnecessary and, if it changes anything, all it's going to do is make your script less efficient and invite in a couple of problems. http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/GetSelf should only ever be used if you're passing information out of a script or if you need to use its return value as a parameter in a function like http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/PushActorAway.

Also, I'm assuming you're going to change the script to use your fTimer variable later, right? If not, then there's no reason to keep it there.

I don't see any structural problems in that script, and the functions and blocktypes are all spelled correctly, so the problem will be either a misspelled editorID or you've tried to use a variable name which is already taken as an editorID elsewhere. I think the former is more likely.

What should I use then?

And I've checked three times, it is spelled correctly.

Try using this - http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36290

That should cause the GECK to give you some meaningful errors, instead of just refusing to save without giving you any information on what's wrong.

Thank you. Didn't know about that program. I'll report back

The variable name Target is already in use as an EditorID Cipscis! Apparently I have a luck of 1

Anyway, about GetSelf. I am trying to attach a perk to the NPC that I shoot with the scripted weapon. Any idea how to achieve that without GetSelf?

Just call the functions that you want to call on the scripted reference implicitly. If you're using a weapon to run a script on an actor, then you'll want to use an effect script to do it:

Begin ScriptEffectStart	AddPerk H52DTEWReductionPulseEnd

http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/GetSelf isn't at all useful in this situation. The following two scripts will, under ideal conditions, do exactly the same thing:

ref rSelfBegin ScriptEffectStart	set rSelf to GetSelf	rSelf.AddPerk H52DTEWReductionPulseEnd

Begin ScriptEffectStart	rSelf.AddPerk H52DTEWReductionPulseEnd
