[LE] even comments do not compile

[Herakleides]

Trying to learn a bit about Skyrim modding, I tried to add a simple script to dialogue

 

In tutorials It was suggested that I should add comment, compile, add properties and then add actual script.

 

so I put:

 

;test

 

in "papyrus fragment" field. Result:

 

Starting 1 compile threads for 1 files...
Compiling "TIF__0108302E"...
<unknown>(0,0): Unable to find flags file: TESV_Papyrus_Flags.flg
D:\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\TIF__0108302E.psc(3,0): Unknown user flag Hidden
No output generated for TIF__0108302E, compilation failed.

Batch compile of 1 files finished. 0 succeeded, 1 failed.
Failed on TIF__0108302E

 

What is wrong?

If you want some help with a script you need to post the script. :wacko:

Well, I want to make a script that, at the start of one of dialogue topics, removes helmet from outfit of NPC i'm talking to (or move it to inventory, it do not really matter as long as it is unequipped).

 

But I was not even able to compile Papyrus Fragment that had only comment inside. In the field I put

 

;test

 

Tutorials I seen on Fragments suggested compiling script that contain only simple comment as the first step, to be able to add properties and then actual script. Result - as in quote posted above.

did you have scriptname? in fact you might need scriptname and at least one function, even if it is empty. why would you want to do an empty script for your first try? at least make a "hello world" script. That's what most people who start a new language do.

scriptname HelloWorld extends quest

Event OnInit()
	Main()
endEvent

function Main()
	debug.notification("Hello World!")
endFunction

Bam! Attach it to a script to run on start and "Hello World!"

 

p.s. can't remember if you need to declare the function as void in papyrus if not returning something.

Not for a fragment. The fragment script is created by the Creation Kit. It is a full script where each individual fragment on the object (quest, topic info, etc) is placed into its own function to be called at the appropriate time by the game.

 

@Herakleides

Inserting

;test

should have done the trick.

 

A quick search of compiler errors at the CK wiki indicates that

<unknown>(0,0): Unable to find flags file: TESV_Papyrus_Flags.flg

means that you need to extract the scripts.rar file so that you have access to the stock scripts and that FLG file.

You haven't extracted the source scripts from the Skyrim\Data\Scripts.rar file.

 

With the more recent CK updates the game's source scripts are no longer installed directly. They are in the Scripts.rar archive file. You need to extract them so that they .psc files end up in the Skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source folder. That TESV_Papyrus_Flags.flg file will also be unpacked along with the .psc files.

If you are ever able to properly install your creation kit, keep in mind if the helmet is part of the NPCs outfit you will not be able to un-equip it or remove it form inventory if I remember correctly.

This is the 1st problem "means that you need to extract the scripts.rar file so that you have access to the stock scripts and that FLG file."

The 2nd one is you can't rem " ; " the very 1st line of the code (0,0)
