crisisninja Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Hi, I'd like to start by saying I'm very new to the G.E.C.K., Skyrim Creation Kit, and the Creation Kit. But, I wanted to make a simple npc companion for Fallout 4 no affinity or anything crazy like that, so I went and followed the steps in this video here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKViKsNcXVY up to about 24:25 and I mean REALLY REALLY following it, pausing rewinding, I even went and set up a second monitor so I could have the video right there while I followed it myself in the Creation Kit. Twice even, spent half a day watching that video and working in the Creation Kit, I'm fairly certain of followed every step correctly. But I'm getting an error when I try to compile the papyrus script thing. Papyrus Compiler Version 2.8.0.4 for Fallout 4Copyright © ZeniMax Media. All rights reserved.Starting 1 compile threads for 1 files...Compiling "Fragments:Quests:QF_CalebCompQuest_01000F9B"...C:\Users\Jack\AppData\Local\Temp\PapyrusTemp\Fragments\Quests\QF_CalebCompQuest_01000F9B.psc(7,40): no viable alternative at character '?'C:\Users\Jack\AppData\Local\Temp\PapyrusTemp\Fragments\Quests\QF_CalebCompQuest_01000F9B.psc(15,40): no viable alternative at character '?'No output generated for Fragments:Quests:QF_CalebCompQuest_01000F9B, compilation failed. Batch compile of 1 files finished. 0 succeeded, 1 failed.Failed on Fragments:Quests:QF_CalebCompQuest_01000F9B Does anybody know if an issue like this was present in the previous Creation Kits, for Skyrim, Fallout 3, New Vegas. Anything? I talked to the author of the video, but he wasn't sure about it so I thought it would be worth it to ask around here. The script I'm trying to compile is Recruit - FollowersScript.GetScript().SetCompanion(CalebComp.GetActorReference())Dismiss - FollowersScript.GetScript().DismissCompanion(CalebComp.GetActorReference()) Edited May 5, 2016 by crisisninja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidgeroonie Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I'm also having the same issue - Are you by any chance using multiple hard drives? I've got my Creation Kit installed on my E:\ drive a long with Fallout 4, but my errors keep appearing on my C:\ drive. I have a feeling it's struggling to write on different hard drives.

xXBrytonXx Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) The tutorial is slightly misleading, you don't use the actor alias you use the property name. So reopen your properties window in the Papyrus fragment section and use whatever you set as the property name rather than Alias.
