SSE the extends script does not exist

[Xfreakish]

So i was trying to create a new script and it keep saying "the extends script does not exist" I looked online and some people said to extract the scrips.rar to the sctips folder witch i did but it's still not working

Either you forgot to add the parent script which the script should be extending, or you typoed the parent script's name.

Hey, thanks for the reply. What is a parent script and how do i make one?

A parent script is just any old script that is referred to by another script, hence making it a 'parent script' and the calling script a 'child script'. Also, make sure that you have the source folder placed in the correct location. The Legendary and Special Editions use two different locations for source scripts. In SSE it's : Skyrim Special Edition\Data\Source\Scripts. Make sure the .psc are put in that scripts folder, with the .pex placed in the folder at Skyrim Special Edition\Data\Scripts.

Scriptname thisScript extends

 

will give an error.

 

Scriptname thisScripts extends SomeScript

 

will give an error if SomeScript doesn't exist.

 

Scriptname thisScript extends Actors

 

will give an error because there's no Actors script, when it should be Actor.

 

The above poster gave you the run down of parent script, but to give an example..

 

Scriptname thisScript extends ObjectReference

 

means this script is going to be a child of ObjectReference and is allowed to use member functions/events of that script.
