Auto add perk after freeform quest

[McRegan]

Alright so I want to set up a perk that is added to the player like in the power armor training quest. I want the perk to be added after you drink 20 beers. I have created the perk and I know you have to create a free form quest but i don't really know what else to do. How would I go about doing this. Sorry I know this probably sounds confusing and if you need more clarification let me know and I will try to be more helpful.

One way would be to add a script to the beer item that looks something like this:

 

scn beerscript

short    beersdrank
short     doonce

BeginOnactivate

set beersdrank to beersdrank + 1

End

Begin GameMode

If beersdrank >= 20
    if doonce = 0
         addperk yourbeerperk
         set doonce to 1
     endif
endif

End

 

I'm not sure if the doonce is absolutely necessary but it seems safer to include it.

It says there is a syntax error on line 15, if doonce = 0, any thoughts?

The first block should read Begin OnActivate, not Beginonactivate.

Add the space, you should be good.

ok so everything works fine when i try to save the script but when i add it to the beer and try drink 20 of them in game nothing happens. Everything in the script is perfect but it just doesn't work in game. You've been a ton of help already but if you had any ideas on why this might be I would greatly appreciate it.

I have a theory. Let me try it out and get back to you so I don't steer you wrong.
