Need help scripting - invalid reference

[BeFtRoN]

I'm trying to convert one of my fo3 mods to nv, but the scripting must be different... or i've forgotten how to do things

trying to start a script... well, look:

 

scn AABEFPistolEffectScript

 

REF Target

 

BEGIN ScriptEffectStart

 

If GetDead == 0

Set Target to GetSelf

Target.StopCombat Player

Player.StopCombatAlarmOnActor

Target.ClearActorsFactionsPlayerEnemyFlag

 

endif

 

END

 

BEGIN ScriptEffectFinish... blah blah blah

 

anyway, when i try to compile, it tells me that "target" is an invalid reference.. why? it worked on fallout 3

I'm guessing it's because "target" is already used as a reference value by the game.

For example dialogue options can run conditions on "subject", "target", "reference", etc

 

ie, I got the same error when I tried to set a "short SetStage" variable on a script.

crap. that's what i'd feared. this mod eludes me.

This is why it's a good idea to get into the habit of prefixing your variables:

 

Ref rTarget

int bIsLoaded

int iNumberOfKills

float fTargetPositionX

thanks ppl, figured it out. there's a static object called 'target'

although, i'm now having trouble getting the liberty prime bloody mess working at all. is it still implemented properly?
