Issue with creation of Papyrus Script

[hughbe]

Hey there,

 

I was following a tutorial on creating a Papyrus script in Creation Kit, i followed what he did, and clicked New Script, filled in the name correctly, and clicked OK.

 

It started to compile, but I got this error:

Failed on newscriptss

 

I don't have a clue what the hell is going on, so can someone tell me how to fix this please :)

 

Thanks.

 

P.S: These errors don't seem to show anything wrong with the file I created, and I have never created a Papyrus Script before.

Sound like your Papyrus sources have corrupted... Try reinstalling the Creation Kit.

One useful trick is to create a dummy script first, like maybe just one commented out line and then compile it. Then you can set all the properties before you refer to them. Then you can enter your entire script.

 

Another trick is to always write your scripts in the CK and never in the various notepad utilities people use. You compile your script over and over as it gets bigger and bigger. The CK will throw out small error messages every time you hit a snag. It is easier to fix one small error than to have to deal with an error report two pages long.

 

Looking at the most frequent errors in your error message, I would guess that you have not set your nightmare Lua properties.
