Vanilla Script not Compiling in G.E.C.K.

[Manan6619]

So, I'm trying to make some changes to a script for the hostages in the Booted quest, but NVSE is giving me a block start/end error for this section of (vanilla, seemingly-working ingame) script, line 16:

 

BEGIN OnActivate player
if ( GetDead == 0 )
  if ( freed == 0 )
   if ( IsActionRef player == 1 )
    if ( Player.IsInCombat == 0 )
      ShowMessage TecMineHostageMSG
      ;NelsonCrux01REF.pushactoraway NelsonNCRHostage01REF 1
      ;NelsonCrux02REF.pushactoraway NelsonNCRHostage02REF 1
      ;NelsonCrux03REF.pushactoraway NelsonNCRHostage03REF 1
     endif
    ;else
     ;ShowMessage FFSupermutantCaptiveNoActivateMessage
    endif
   endif
  endif
elseIf ( GetDead == 1 )
  Activate
END

 

Any ideas?

EDIT: So I've figured that first bit out I think, actually (It seems to work correctly if "elseIf" is changed to just "if"). However, I could use some advice on the next part; I've added a new button to the menu that appears when you activate a hostage in hopes that you'll be able to trade items with them, but the button doesn't have any effect. Did I use the wrong function? It's on line 29.

 

 

BEGIN Menumode 1001
	if ( freed == 0 )
		set button to GetButtonPressed
		if ( button == 1 )
			SetRestrained 0
			;SayTo player GREETING
			set Freed to 1
			ignoreCrime 0
			set VNelson.NumHostages to VNelson.NumHostages + 1
			AddScriptPackage vNelsonHostageEscape
			;Addtofaction NCRFactionNV 1
	;Cripples both legs for all three
			NelsonNCRHostage01REF.DamageActorValue LeftMobilityCondition 5
			NelsonNCRHostage01REF.DamageActorValue	RightMobilityCondition 5

			NelsonNCRHostage02REF.DamageActorValue LeftMobilityCondition 5
			NelsonNCRHostage02REF.DamageActorValue	RightMobilityCondition 5

			NelsonNCRHostage03REF.DamageActorValue LeftMobilityCondition 5
			NelsonNCRHostage03REF.DamageActorValue	RightMobilityCondition 5
	;spawns backup
			NelsonLegion01REF.Enable 1
			NelsonLegion02REF.Enable 1
			NelsonLegion03REF.Enable 1
			setenemy caesarslegionnelsonfaction playerfaction
			;setenemy VCaesarsLegionfaction playerfaction
		endif
		elseIf ( button == 2 )
		OpenTeammateContainer 1
	endif
END

An "EndIf" terminates a condition block. An "ElseIf" is a continuation of an "IF' block as the "If not true" stage, so you are not getting to your "elseIf ( button == 2 )" line. You want to move the "EndIf" after the "OpenTeammateContainer 1" line.

Hm, thanks. I think I see what you mean. I've changed the script as follows, but still no dice:

 

BEGIN Menumode 1001
	
	if ( freed == 0 )
		set button to GetButtonPressed
		if ( button == 1 )
			SetRestrained 0
			;SayTo player GREETING
			set Freed to 1
			ignoreCrime 0
			set VNelson.NumHostages to VNelson.NumHostages + 1
			AddScriptPackage vNelsonHostageEscape
			;Addtofaction NCRFactionNV 1
	;Cripples both legs for all three
			NelsonNCRHostage01REF.DamageActorValue LeftMobilityCondition 5
			NelsonNCRHostage01REF.DamageActorValue	RightMobilityCondition 5

			NelsonNCRHostage02REF.DamageActorValue LeftMobilityCondition 5
			NelsonNCRHostage02REF.DamageActorValue	RightMobilityCondition 5

			NelsonNCRHostage03REF.DamageActorValue LeftMobilityCondition 5
			NelsonNCRHostage03REF.DamageActorValue	RightMobilityCondition 5
	;spawns backup
			NelsonLegion01REF.Enable 1
			NelsonLegion02REF.Enable 1
			NelsonLegion03REF.Enable 1
			setenemy caesarslegionnelsonfaction playerfaction
			;setenemy VCaesarsLegionfaction playerfaction
		elseIf ( button == 2 )
		OpenTeammateContainer 1
		endif
	endif
END

I'm not seeing any reason that won't compile, but haven't checked each command for proper syntax. Do you have the GECK Extender NVSE Plugin installed? It should give you some better error messages; at least indicating which line is causing the problem.
