problem with compiling quest script

[ThiefHawk]

i started on my companion mod however ran into a bit of a snag setting up the quest

i'm using Advanced Companion Creaton Guide by Caprius how ever i'm having an issue i'm at the part where setting up topics and responses

the one giving me a head ache is Followersfiredyes

i'm down to this part here

Moving on to FollowersFiredYes, We need to set the responce. This one we are sending the NPC home so choose a response that is apropriate. Again we paste our "GetID in the Conditions section as we do with all our topics. There are not follow up choices for this one either however we do need to set the Result Script (Begin) and check mark Goodbye.

my results script

ShowMessage 01MessageLeave
Set 01HawkEyeREF.Waiting to 0
Set 01HawkEyeREF.Relax to 0
Set 01HawkEyeREF.HasBeenHired to 0
Set 01HawkEyeREF.L38 to 0
Set 01HawkEyeREF.IsFollowingDefault to 0
Set 01HawkEyeREF.IsFollowingLong to 0
01HawkEyeREF.SetPlayerTeammate 0
01HawkEyeREF.evp

and ending

01HawkEyeREF.MoveToMarkerWithFade 01HawkEyeHomeMarkerREF

every time i try to compile this so i can start with the next topic gives me

operation cannot be completed because:Info (01001667)results script failed to compile

 

any ideas what might be wronge?

Don't give your refs refIDs that start with numeric characters.

That probably goes for baseIDs like 01messageleave, also. Anything that you reference in a script.

If you change the 01s to something like AA it will probably compile.

hmm well i changed everything around to ATS

ShowMessage ATSMessageLeave
Set ATSHawkEyeREF.Waiting to 0
Set ATSHawkEyeREF.Relax to 0
Set ATSHawkEyeREF.HasBeenHired to 0
Set ATSHawkEyeREF.L38 to 0
Set ATSHawkEyeREF.IsFollowingDefault to 0
Set ATSHawkEyeREF.IsFollowingLong to 0
ATSHawkEyeREF.SetPlayerTeammate 0
ATSHawkEyeREF.evp

ATSHawkEyeREF.MoveToMarkerWithFade ATSHawkEyeHomeMarkerREF

still getting error

[ThiefHawk]

i figured it out it error on creator of guide's part

drop the XMarker into the Render Window next to your NPC. Once placed, double click it and set its Reference Editor ID: to ***HomeMarkerREF. Click OK

*** which would be ATSHomeMarkerREF how ever his ending script result was

***REF.MoveToMarkerWithFade ***charcterHomeMarkerREF

which i had

ATSHawkEyeREF.MoveToMarkerWithFade ATSHawkEyeHomeMarkerREF

ATSHawkEyeHomeMarkerREF was incorrect did not match the xmarker ref in drop location on map so i changed it to

ATSHawkEyeREF.MoveToMarkerWithFade ATSHomeMarkerREF

and it compiled correctly

another issue has arise

The Condition Function for this one is "GetQuestVariable". Click the button for Funtion Parameters and set parameter 1 to ***FollowersQuest and parameter 2 to "b***Hireable. One more Condition to put in. The Condition Function is "GetScriptVariable" Parameter one is set to the NPC we are creating and Parameter 2 is "HasBeenHired" with a Value of 0.

when i do this and try to select ATSFollowersQuest it's not showing in drop down

You won't find the quest, if you're using a "getscriptvariable" function. Quest script variables are found under the function "getQUESTvariable". So if you're trying to access a variable from a script that is attached to a quest, then use this function instead, and see if it's there.

If you do struggle with this tutorial, try Drake's Amigo Cafe, it makes companion creating relatively easy:
