How Do You Say "Set Var To 1"

[David Brasher]

The scripts never compile no matter how I write them and no matter what properties I set for them.

 

I want to figure out how to change the value of a variable.

 

How do you say this line in Papyrus?

 

Set Var to 1

 

The wiki says something like:

 

Var = 1

 

That doesn't compile though.

Could you post your whole script and/or the error(s) the compiler throws out?

[Outlandstalker]

Before you can set the value of a variable, you have to define it at the top at your script.

 

 

ScriptName <insert name here> Extends <whatever>

 

Int VarA = 1 ;<-- This line defines "VarA" as integer and initialized it with 1

VarA = 1 ;<-- This doesn't work, because it's outside a sub or function

 

Event OnLoad()

VarA = 1 ;<-- This works, because "VarA" is defined and inside the sub of the "OnLoad" event

VarB = 1 ;<-- This doesn't work, because "VarB" isn't defined

EndEvent

 

 

Hope it helps.
