SSE i'm about to tear out my hair. compiling issues

[courcyplayer]

I've been trying to get my custom voiced follower to follow me

scripted her following me and dismissing her but when i got to open inventory i ran into this problem

Compiling "TIF__08045CFB"...

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\Source\Scripts\temp\TIF__08045CFB.psc(9,0): variable Friend is undefined

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\Source\Scripts\temp\TIF__08045CFB.psc(9,7): none is not a known user-defined type

No output generated for TIF__08045CFB, compilation failed.

I've extracted the scripts from the rar folder but even still i get this issue

Thanks in advance for any assistance

The compiler is telling you that you have used a variable in your script without defining what type of variable it is, so it doesn't know what it means.

 

If you post your actual script, we might be able to tell you more.

Friend needs to be a variable with type Actor. And the variable needs to actually be pointing to an actual actor, or you'll then get a run-time error of being unable to call OpenInventory on a none.

 

It appears you pulled that from the example on the wiki. All that example does is show the syntax.

Ok thanks. not sure i still understand what to do but i'll try and figure it out

I'm guessing that you have entered that single line into a fragment on a dialogue topic. If so, try replacing the word 'Friend', which means nothing to the compiler, with 'akSpeaker', which does. In the context of dialogue fragments, it means the NPC who is doing the talking.
