[LE] Yet another script failing to compile.

[SevenBlue]

Hi ho, hi ho, another script won't go. *whistles*

 

So I'm trying to compile a pretty basic transmutation spell that I frankenstein'd off of the Transmute Ore spell, everything seems to be working okay except the advanceskill command which I'm fairly certain I did right. Here's the code.

 

Scriptname SBTransmuteSoulgem01Script extends ActiveMagicEffect  



MiscObject Property SoulGemPiece001  Auto  



MiscObject Property SoulGemPiece002  Auto  



MiscObject Property SoulGemPiece003  Auto  



MiscObject Property SoulGemPiece004  Auto  



MiscObject Property SoulGemPiece005  Auto  



MiscObject Property SBSoulGemShard  Auto  



Sound Property FailureSFX  Auto  



Float Property SkillAdvance = 5.0 Auto  



EVENT OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)

	objectReference caster = akCaster

	if caster.getItemCount(SoulGemPiece001) >= 1

		

		caster.removeItem(SoulGemPiece001, 1, TRUE)

		caster.addItem(SBSoulGemShard, 1, FALSE)

		advanceSkill("conjuration",skillAdvancement)

	elseif caster.getItemCount(SoulGemPiece002) >= 1

		

		caster.removeItem(SoulGemPiece002, 1, TRUE)

		caster.addItem(SBSoulGemShard, 1, FALSE)

		advanceSkill("conjuration",skillAdvancement)

		

	elseif caster.getItemCount(SoulGemPiece003) >= 1

		

		caster.removeItem(SoulGemPiece003, 1, TRUE)

		caster.addItem(SBSoulGemShard, 1, FALSE)

		advanceSkill("conjuration",skillAdvancement)

		

	elseif caster.getItemCount(SoulGemPiece004) >= 1

		

		caster.removeItem(SoulGemPiece004, 1, TRUE)

		caster.addItem(SBSoulGemShard, 1, FALSE)

		advanceSkill("conjuration",skillAdvancement)

		

	elseif caster.getItemCount(SoulGemPiece005) >= 1

		

		caster.removeItem(SoulGemPiece005, 1, TRUE)

		caster.addItem(SBSoulGemShard, 1, FALSE)

		advanceSkill("conjuration",skillAdvancement)

	else

		; caster must have had no valid ore

		FailureSFX.play(caster)

	endif

endEVENT

 

and the errors I'm getting are

Plz help and I'll name an axe after you.

[Levionte]

It's actually Game.AdvanceSkill. Put the game in front of it and you should be fine. Also, you defined a float called SkillAdvance and your script calls on SkillAdvancement.

[SevenBlue]

Works like a charm, thanks for pointing it out, what type of axe do you want to be and what do you want it to be called, Levionte? I was thinking Ebony war axe with increased critical chance with a shock/soultrap enchantment tucked away in a cave somewhere.

Minor point I'd like to add is that the following line is unnecessary:

objectReference caster = akCaster

akCaster is an Actor, which extends ObjectReference (which in turn extends Form), and as such any non-global ObjectReference (and Form) functions can be called on an instance of Actor. akCaster can also be passed as an argument to a function instead of using an explicitly declared ObjectReference variable as an intermediary. Not crucial to the functionality of this script, but a useful technical aspect of the language to know.
