SSE Inexperienced Modder Looking for Guidance on Changing a Quest Reward

[draelon]

In short, I'm trying to change the quest reward from a random item to a specific item (Steel Boots of Muffling). I haven't made any other changes... I had issues with another mod I was working on a month ago, and I'm hoping it's not something where I have to reload a "vanilla" copy of SSE with no mods to try this again, which is my next step.

 

I'm attaching the JPG of a screen pull from when I tried to compile it.

 

Any advice?

In skyrim you can't just write the formID of an item in a script, you need to make a property pointing to it.

Roger that, thank you, :)

The annoying part about this, is a migraine creeped up on me right after reading this, so the few minutes I have been able to sit in front of my computer, I haven't been able to figure out how to do it based on the documentation... which is sad, because 10 years ago, my job was writing software for the USAF, LoL.... making my head more sore, and making me feel dumb.

 

*edit* The fact that it was a Hello World example, made me feel dumber.

I don't know if you've managed to write your script or not, but if your still struggling there are often mods out there that will do what you need to do. Some times they come with open permissions, so you could always use one of them scripts and tweak it to what you need.
