enable command not recognized

[morrowind1979]

I am having problems trying to make a disabled door become enabled when my quest reaches stage 20. I attach the following as a script fragment on quest stage 20:

 

I have defined my door as "Hgate" property

 

Hgate.enable()

 

When I try to compile i get the error: enable is not a function or does not exist. Any thoughts???

Wait, where have you defined this property? Can you post the fragment? Edited December 2, 2012 by acidzebra

Character, Quest, PinheadQst. Quest Stages(20): Papyrus fragment:

 

fragment is just Hgate.enable()

 

I have the Hgate door initially disabled and want it to become enabled at quest stage 20.

Well that's the thing right - those quest fragments are part of a script which extends quest hidden (and not objectreference - where enable belongs). In addition, it can't possibly know what door you're talking about.

 

In the cell containing the door place a hidden marker somewhere (out of sight or whatever), and attach a script extending objectreference which (a) defines an objectreference property hgate auto pointing to the door and a quest property pinheadquest auto pointing to your quest, and (b) add an oncellattach() event then in that build in a check for quest stage if (pinheadquest.getstage() == 20) and have that enable the door.

I now get this error: C:\Program Files\The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\HgateScript.psc(7,12): no viable alternative at input '('

No output generated for HgateScript, compilation failed.

 

 

oncellattach()

if (pinheadquest.getstage() == 20)

Hgate.enable()

EndIf

EndEvent

Scriptname HgateScript extends ObjectReference  
quest property pinheadquest auto 
objectreference property hgate auto 

event oncellattach()
if (pinheadquest.getstage() == 20)
Hgate.enable()
EndIf
EndEvent 

 

compiles for me - did you forget to add "event"?

 

By the way, I'm not entirely sure I did the getstage() thing right, see

...but give it a try anyway - but if it doesn't work you'll know where to look.

How did you create the marker???

[acidzebra]

Just drag an xmarker into the scene somewhere?

I was using a trigger box I dont have any x markers in my dungeon how do I create one?

[acidzebra]

Just filter in the object window for xmarker and drag it into the same cell which contains the gate.
