Yes, I have been modding long enough to be wary of that particular mistake. Anyway, dont bother trying to come up with a solution, I just figured out a work-around that doesnt involve scripts. This little foray into Papyrus has been frustrating and unproductive; Im not going to waste another second on scripting now or in the future.

Ive tried 'if' arguments; it doesnt help. Korodic you are right, my original script looks correct, I should not have to define akActor as the player, according to everything I have read akActor will always be assumed to be the player by default. Okay, so boneperk didnt have a property value assigned, and I assigned it to 'boneperk' the perk. Still nothing. I get no errors, like I said, the script compiles just fine. It has to be something else entirely... what am I missing?

I just tried this: Scriptname BonePerkScript extends ObjectReference Event OnEquipped(Actor akActor) akActor == Game.GetPlayer() Game.GetPlayer().AddPerk(BonePerk) Debug.Notification("Bone Harvesting Enabled") EndEvent Event OnUnEquipped(Actor akActor) akActor == Game.GetPlayer() Game.GetPlayer().RemovePerk(BonePerk) Debug.Notification("Bone Harvesting Disabled") EndEvent Perk property BonePerk auto ...no change.

Okay, so the deal is this: I want this script to give the player this perk I made called 'boneperk' when they equip an item... I have been trying for hours and no luck though. Here is my script: Scriptname BonePerkScript extends ObjectReference Event OnEquipped(Actor akActor) akActor.AddPerk(BonePerk) Debug.Notification("Bone Harvesting Enabled") EndEvent Event OnUnEquipped(Actor akActor) akActor.RemovePerk(BonePerk) Debug.Notification("Bone Harvesting Disabled") EndEvent Perk property BonePerk auto Ive tested it every way I can think to... the perk itself functions if I add it via console, the script compiles properly and displays the text notification whenever the item its attached to is equipped or unequipped... I just cant figure out why the script wont give the perk to the player! Im a complete scripting noob, so please, If you've got any ideas about what is going wrong please let me know.
