eskimodude812 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 So I'm going back and forth between tutorials and since I'm still a noob to this I don't know how to approach these problems, when I'm typing in the script in the Result Script section in Topics where Quests are located in the GECK, I keep getting an Operation Failure error saying: "Operation cannot be completed because: info (05037001) results script failed to compile." Now I have no idea what this means and I'm at a loss here. I quadruple checked to make sure I was using the correct REF ID, everything seems fine, my code is exactly how I'm supposed to type it, correct punctuation and everything, is there just some minute little detail I overlooked?

EPDGaffney Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 If you're new to this, there are a hundred things you could have missed without even knowing they were things you could miss. There are a lot of result scripts involved with most companions, so a good idea would be to put yours here so that it can be proofread. Which tutorial(s) are you following?

There are a lot of result scripts involved with most companions, so a good idea would be to put yours here so that it can be proofread. Which tutorial(s) are you following?Mainly these two and kind of going back and forth with them: and the "Advance Companion Guide" on the Nrxus (https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/45278?tab=description). Should I just go ahead and post all my scripts so far? They're the same ones I've seen in the tutorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPDGaffney Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 If they're all working except one, you can start with the one that's not working. Remember to format it as code when you post, using the blue <> button on the toolbar here. If a lot of them aren't working, then go ahead and post them all. I have no idea what that error is, mind you, but I imagine we'll spot it soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmongo Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 If you install the GECK powerup, it will give you much more detail about why a script fails to compile. It will also annoy you with a bizillion other error messages that you can ignore, but hey, you take the good with the bad. The Advanced Companion Guide that you are using is the best tutorial that I've seen, so stick with that. Make sure your ref ID doesn't start with a number.

EPDGaffney Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) No bother. I have to remember how popular it is for people to use numbers in references when they're starting out...It never occurs to me because I always used the initials of the mod I was working on, but it seems to happen a lot. I think the reason is organisation, so if you want a good tip for that, in the Object Window, between the Editor ID and Count columns, there's one you can expand, and that's for Form ID. Just click on that to sort by Form ID and put all the stuff added by your mod at the top. Edited March 1, 2018 by EPDGaffney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mktavish Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Well using those form id's is one thing ... but creating your own is another.Basically the engine does what it does with those ... and if you inject into its way of functioning ... don't expect good things. Best just to stay on the user side of things with naming forms that humans understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
