what im trying to do is that you can cast a spell on a random Creature that is stated above in the script. And he will then turn to a same looking Race but modified so
it suits a AnimalFollower. (Edited AllowPCDialog). However to make a animal follower you need a script inside the specific reference/target. And since it is random
i figured I´d set it up with an Alias. But i dont know how to make the game/script know that the "AkTarget" is the "TamedBeastAlias". When i try to Compile all it says is :


Starting 1 compile threads for 1 files...
Compiling "aaTameBeastScriptEffect01"...
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\aaTameBeastScriptEffect01.psc(12,0): function variable akTarget already defined in the same scope
No output generated for aaTameBeastScriptEffect01, compilation failed.


Anyone who can help me with this? Would be very appreciated!

Hi,
I have a few tips for you that might help:

OnEffectStart is an Event in a MagicEffect Script, not a Quest Script. - Choose a different Event or put the Script on the Magic Effect.

AkTarget is the parameter of the Event, you shouldn’t be setting it. – Perhaps you might get what you want with –
If akTarget == TamedBeastAlias.GetActorReference()
;whatever
EndIf

You will at least stop getting that error if you stop trying to set akTarget.

Good luck, and don’t be disheartened by failure; papyrus is an awful programming language and it’s very badly documented. The CK Wiki is useful, but it isn’t always all that clear.

Yes yes, i know Event oneffectstart is not a quest event. But the prev i tried didt work, so i was just mixing around. will try the If akTarget == TamedBeastAlias.GetActorReference() thing thou. I hope it will work. will be back with an answer soon



EDIT:

i get this:
Starting 1 compile threads for 1 files...
Compiling "aaTameBeastScriptEffect01"...
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\aaTameBeastScriptEffect01.psc(12,31): GetActorReference is not a function or does not exist
No output generated for aaTameBeastScriptEffect01, compilation failed.

when i try to compile with the If akTarget == TamedBeastAlias.GetActorReference(). Any other advice?

Add this before the properties:-
Import ReferenceAlias

The function you're using isn't a Quest function so you have to import the script type it comes from.

[TheSkoomaKing]

I tried. It still says :


C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\aaTameBeastScriptEffect01.psc(16,28): GetActorReference is not a function or does not exist
No output generated for aaTameBeastScriptEffect01, compilation failed.

[TheSkoomaKing]

I tried to put Import ReferenceAlias before the properties, but it still says :


C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\aaTameBeastScriptEffect01.psc(16,28): GetActorReference is not a function or does not exist
No output generated for aaTameBeastScriptEffect01, compilation failed.




where should i put If akTarget == TamedBeastAlias.GetActorReference() then?

i putted it right after the event starts, like this:

Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)
Actor akTarget = TamedBeastAlias.GetActorReference()
AkTarget.StopCombat()
SuccessMessage01.Show()
AkTarget.RemoveFromFaction(CreatureFaction)
AkTarget.AddToFaction(TamedBeastFaction)
AkTarget.AddToFaction(playerFaction)
AkTarget.AddToFaction(FollowerFaction)
AlreadyTamedGlobal.SetValue(1)
AkTarget.SetFactionRank(CurrentFollowerFaction, -1)
SuccessMessage01.Show()




( Sorry for double post btw.. lagspike )

[Eckss]

instead of GetActorReference, try casting it as an actor:-

If akTarget == (TamedBeastAlias as Actor)

[TheSkoomaKing]

hehe now another error comes up:


C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\aaTameBeastScriptEffect01.psc(14,32): cannot cast a alias to a actor, types are incompatible
No output generated for aaTameBeastScriptEffect01, compilation failed.


Any other advice?


( btw.. thank you so much for taking your time to figure out what it is, im truly gratefull )

[Ghaunadaur]

Change the Alias property to ReferenceAlias property, then try again.

ReferenceAlias Property TamedBeastAlias Auto

BTW,

akTarget = TamedBeastAlias.GetActorReference()

=

akTarget = TamedBeastAlias.GetReference() as Actor

The second one is faster.

[Eckss]

Ghaunadaur is right, I didn't notice that you had declared the alias as Alias instead of ReferenceAlias.
Change

Alias Property TamedBeastAlias Auto

To

ReferenceAlias Property TamedBeastAlias Auto

As Ghaunadaur pointed out and then

If akTarget == TamedBeastAlias.GetActorReference()
;whatever
EndIf

Will compile (I checked)
