New scripts fail everytime

[wilwhitt56]

Just started doing scripts for a mod im working on (still new to scripting) and ive been running into a problem everytime. when I make the script (most of the time just copying and pasting) It goes through this long list mostly involving magic effects and says it fails. Weirdly enough though, it stills saves the script. The most recent one was just an invisible wall script.

 

Scriptname OutofBoundsScript extends ObjectReference

Event OnTriggerEnter(ObjectReference akActionRef)
If(akActionRef == Game.GetPlayer())
Debug.Notification("You cannot go this way")
Endif
EndEvent

 

Which winds up giving me this message:

That means you don't have the source files. In your data folder there should be a scripts.rar. Extract it and it should fix the problem.

[IsharaMeradin]

To go into further detail:

For Skyrim LE - Extract the scripts.rar archive found in the Data folder to the data folder as all the necessary folders are inside the archive. If needed (after extraction), copy the PSC files from the Dawnguard sub-folder, Hearthfires sub-folder and Dragonborn sub-folder to the main source folder. Or set up a third party external text editor (Sublime Text, Notepad++, etc) to handle compiling scripts while using multiple source directories.

 

For Skyrim SE - Extract the scripts.zip archive found in the Data folder to the data folder as all the necessary folders are inside the archive. Bethesda already combined all the source scripts to a single folder due to SE containing all the DLC from the beginning.
