Adding Perk to Player via Script?

[MarchUntoTorment]

Hey, everyone! Long-time reader, first-time poster.

 

I'm trying to make a script that gives the player a perk when the game loads. The script runs fine, but the perk never appears. Adding the perk via console makes it work perfectly.

 

Script (sorry for lack of syntax, on phone, PC is having internet troubles):

 

--------

 

Scriptname: ThiefMod:ThiefScript4 extends Quest

 

Actor Property PlayerRef Auto

 

Perk Property ThiefPerk Auto

 

Event OnInit()

 

PlayerRef.AddPerk(ThiefPerk)

 

Debug.Notification("Welcome, Thief.")

 

EndEvent

 

--------

 

This is all attached to a dummy quest that's set to RunOnce. Ignore the bad syntax; the Property block and the Event blocks all have single-line breaks between them.

 

Anyway, when I load the game, the message ("Welcome, Thief.") shows, which means the script is firing, but the perk isn't being added. I tried to use Game.GetPlayer() instead of PlayerRef, but had no success there, either.

 

Where am I going wrong? Help would be greatly appreciated!
