SSE Checking Properties From Another Script

[HeirOfTheSeptims]

Ok, so I'm trying to check a property used in a different script, in this case the bard handling quest. Everywhere I can find says that the way to do this is:

(Quest as OtherScript).PropertyName

 

But I get an error saying that it isn't a property (Which it is!)

 

Here is the actual script fragment:

Event OnUpdate()
If((BardSongs as BardSongsScript).Playing == 0) && (BardRef.IsInDialogueWithPlayer() == False) && (BardRef.IsEnabled())
(BardSongs as BardSongsScript).PlaySongRequest(BardRef,"Instrumental")
RegisterForSingleUpdate(10.0)
EndIf
EndEvent

 

And I always get this error:

"Playing is not a property on script bardsongsscript or one of its parents"

 

This is the property as established in BardSongsScript:

Int Playing = 0 Conditional

 

 

Does anybody know why this isn't working, and how to do it correctly? Does is have anything to do with the "conditional" setting?

[IsharaMeradin]

Int Playing = 0 Conditonal is not a property but a local variable on that script. You cannot reference that variable from other scripts. At least not without re-writing the BardSongsScript to make it a property variable. Properties that you can access via other scripts have the word "Property" within the declaration.

just another approach for bardsongs to update, no idea it's working or not
