[LE] Force Quest Alias from Script

[Pickysaurus]

Hi all,

 

I'm having a problem getting my script to fill the empty quest aliases I've left.

 

Basically, the parent script extends ReferenceAlias and is attached to an alias in my handler quest. Properties not mentioned here are defined in the parent as ReferenceAlias or Global. For the 3 lines with ForceRefTo, where I am trying to Force the Aliases into new object references I get the error at the bottom of this post.

Scriptname PKY_AirshipFlagScript extends PKY_AirshipScript  
{Extends the Airship Script to set new destinations}

;;These properties are defined per activator instance.
ObjectReference Property NewDestinationShip Auto 
ObjectReference Property NewDestinationMarker Auto
ObjectReference Property NewDummyHelm Auto
Message Property HeadingMessage Auto
Int Property NewHeadingNumber Auto

Event OnActivate (ObjectReference akActionRef)
	if akActionRef == Game.GetPlayer() && DBM_Destination.Value == 0 ;Checks for 0 as this is default.
		int FormCheck = DBM_AirshipsFLST.Find(DestinationShip.GetReference())
		if FormCheck == -1 ;Checks if current ship is in formlist to disable.
			DBM_AirshipsFLST.AddForm(DestinationShip.GetReference()) ;Add current ship to Formlist
			debug.notification("Added current ship to FormList.")
		endif
		DBM_Destination.SetValue(NewHeadingNumber) ;Update destination value
		Debug.notification("DBM Destination set to"+DBM_Destination)
		DestinationShip.ForceRefTo(NewDestinationShip) ;Change defined ship to new one
		DestinationMarker.ForceRefTo(NewDestinationMarker) ;Update new teleport marker
		DummyHelm.ForceRefTo(NewDummyHelm) ;Updates helm movement location
		HeadingMessage.Show() ;Show confirmation message to player.
	elseif DBM_Destination.Value == NewHeadingNumber
		Debug.notification("This is already my current course.")
	endif
EndEvent 

%filepath%(20,2): type mismatch while assigning to a referencealias (cast missing or types unrelated)

Am I doing something really dumb?

 

Thanks

Hmm... restarted CK and it complies now. But in game my activator does nothing.

Maybe the next helps you to find the culprit.

 

child script:

 

Scriptname PKY_AirshipFlagScript extends PKY_AirshipScript  
{child script, which extends to parent (the Airship Script) to set a new destinations}

; make sure, all four properties have been attached to parent script
 ;GlobalVariable Property DBM_Destination    auto
 ;ReferenceAlias Property DestinationShip     auto
 ;ReferenceAlias Property DestinationMarker auto
 ;ReferenceAlias Property DummyHelm          auto

; these both properties are child specific, do not use in parent script
  Message Property HeadingMessage      auto       ; make sure every child has different values
  Int     Property NewHeadingNumber = -1 auto     ; make sure ..

; these properties are defined per activator instance.
  ObjectReference Property NewDestinationShip   auto
  ObjectReference Property NewDestinationMarker auto
  ObjectReference Property NewDummyHelm         auto

Thanks for the reply, it seems the complier craps out if using CK through ModOrganiser... ran CK normally and it compiled just fine...
