Geck Scripting for Custom Companion

[GoJoeP]

When making a custom character with GECK it refuses to accept my scripting for my dialog under quests - topics. I am just trying to make the basic companion wheel options. I keep getting the error "Script command '0ZeddREF.evp' not found". 0Zedd is the NPC and 0ZeddREF is the actual character placed in the game. My entire script for FollowersFiredYes is:

 

Set 0ZeddREF.Waiting to 0

Set 0ZeddREF.HasBeenHired to 0

Set 0ZeddREF.L38 to 0

Set 0ZeddREF.IsFollowingDefault to 0

Set 0ZeddREF.IsFollowingLong to 0

0ZeddREF.SetPlayerTeammate 0

0ZeddREF.evp

When I delete 0ZeddREF.evp, then it complains about every other line of the scripting, one at a time.

0ZeddREF is linked to 0ZeddScript which reads:

scn 0ZeddScript

short HasBeenHired

short L38

short DoOnce

int CombatStyleRanged

int CombatStyleMelee

int IsFollowingDefault

int IsFollowingLong

int FollowerSwitchAggressive

int Waiting

Begin GameMode

If (DoOnce != 1)

Set HasBeenHired to 0

Set L38 to 0

Set CombatStyleRanged to 1

Set CombatStyleMelee to 0

Set IsFollowingDefault to 0

Set IsFollowingLong to 0

Set FollowerSwitchAggressive to 0

Set Waiting to 0

Set DoOnce to 1

EndIf

End

 

Why is it not accepting my script? Help!

You can't use a numeral at the start of a reference name and then refer to it in a script. Get rid of that leading '0' and it should work.

THANK YOU so much!! I would have never guessed that. I changed 0Zedd to AAZedd and it worked! thank you!

It's a common mistake for some reason that I'll never fathom. The script parser reads a command argument as a hexadecimal value if the first character is a numeral.
