I edited the PlayerVampireQuestScript (backed it up first). Everything works fine. Most of my mod changes work except the spells I have added in the script that call out for the abilities VampiricDrain01, SummonGreaterMinion and SummonLesserMinion.

They show up in the prorporties window and have the proper fields chosen. They also show a 'User' count in the main CK menu that llinks them to the PlayerVampireQuest

but...

When I go in game and create a fresh vampire (which would equal Stage 1) the abilities don't get added to my PC.

Here's what the script looks like. This is the edited PlayerVampireQuestScript from vanilla.

Please help. Thanks.

Bueler?

Under your [Papyrus] section in Skyrim.ini, make sure these are set:


bEnableTrace=1
bEnableLogging=1
bLoadDebugInformation=1
Upon doing that, run your game. When the game runs, any errors will be logged out into your My Games\Skyrim\Logs folder. In the Script folder, you'll see Papyrus.0.log, then Papyrus.1.log, to a total of 3. 0 will be the most recent, 1, before that, 2, etc. Very handy once it's open, use a text editor that will ask you to (or will automatically do), update the contents to match the disk file, so you don't have to actually re-load it, run the game, play through, quit out, go into the editor and look at the file (leave it open for subsequent plays). Should point out where the problem(s) are.

Sadly, reading scripts on here is odd with the dark background I have for here, you can't read any of the scripts in the code sections.

My other suggestion would be not to modify the original script, rename your script to MyVampireUpgrade and extend the original like this:

ScriptName MyVampireUpgrade extends PlayerVampireQuestScript Conditional

Go into the script and remove any sections that are duplicates (since you won't need them), go into the quest add your script in, remove the original. Check the usage of the original, make sure there's no type casting for it, if so, find them and change them to match your new one. Keep in mind that the declared properties/globals, at the top *need* to be present in your new copy, as it'll be the quest's new storage for those variables. Then if there are any problems, and you still can't find it, rename some of the blocks of code in your extended script, to something different (like add an _Mine to the block name), save/compile, try, if the error vanishes, you know it's in that block, if not, take the _Mine out and keep going, but the debug information in the log should provide you with the actual block and line number the error is on.

Good luck.
