Trouble Saving Scripts

[cassiannn]

I'm having trouble saving scripts in the GECK, whether I make a new one or edit an existing one I can't seem to save them.

My original script was:

scn PrivatePincerCompanionScript

short Status ;1 = following, 2 = waiting, 3 = sandboxing
short DoOnce

BEGIN GameMode
	if ( DoOnce != 1 )
		set Status to 3
		set DoOnce to 1
	endif
END

however after running it through Cipscis it said "The value of the local variable 'Status' was never used in this script" and so I changed it to:

scn PrivatePincerCompanionScript

short Status ;1 = following, 2 = waiting, 3 = sandboxing
short DoOnce

BEGIN GameMode
	if ( DoOnce != 1 )
		if ( Status == 0 )
                        set Status to 3
                endif
		set DoOnce to 1
	endif
END

and Cipscis seemed to accept that. However when I tried to save it in the GECK I had no warning that it failed or any confirmation that it worked and it isn't showing up in any dropdown menus.

 

Extra info:

I'm using the Geck PowerUp 1.4 Fork.

I'm using NVSE 5.0b3.

I'm launching the GECK through nvse-loader.exe -editor in administrator mode.

 

Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated as this is honestly driving me completely bonkers.

That's odd.

Try prefixing your variables - like 'i' for int/short, 'f' for float, and 'r' for REF.

scn PrivatePincerCompanionScript


short iStatus ;1 = following, 2 = waiting, 3 = sandboxing
short iDoOnce

BEGIN GameMode

if ( iDoOnce != 1 )
   set iStatus to 3
   set iDoOnce to 1
endif

END

The original should compile in geck. Personally, I'd check for doOnce == 0, because it should be set at 0 to start anyway. You shouldn't need to run the check on status to change it. I don't know what Cipscis is, I'm assuming a compiler? But I think it may be wrong on this.

 

Why it wouldn't show up in the drop downs if geck accepted it is a mystery to me.

Just tried this, still isn't saving unfortunately.

Setting it to DoOnce == 0 didn't seem to fix it either. I'm using the Geck PowerUp with NVSE and it isn't spitting out an error when I try to save so I assume the code is right?

Cipscis is a papyrus script validator, here's the link:

I loaded up the ESP in FNVEdit and it turns out the script is saving but isn't showing up in the GECK for some reason, here's a screenshot:

Alright I feel like a complete moron now, it turns out the script wasn't showing up because I accidentally saved it as an Object script instead of a Quest script and the GECK wouldn't allow me to just open it up again and change it. I created a new script and it's working fine now

 

Sorry for the waste of time guys :pinch:
