SSE How to use GetForm

[dizietemblesssma]

I have the following:

Scriptname dz_hearthfire_cleanup Extends ObjectReference
 
Form lake_xmarker = getForm(0x0300307b)

which fails compilation with:

D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\Scripts\Source\dz_hearthfire_cleanup.psc(10,20): no viable alternative at input 'getForm'
D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\Scripts\Source\dz_hearthfire_cleanup.psc(10,27): required (...)+ loop did not match anything at input '('
D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\Scripts\Source\dz_hearthfire_cleanup.psc(10,5): Unknown user flag getForm
No output generated for D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\Scripts\Source\dz_hearthfire_cleanup.psc, compilation failed.

 

Reading https://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=GetForm_-_Game

 

I can't see what is going wrong, if I add 'import game' I get:

Scriptname dz_hearthfire_cleanup Extends ObjectReference

import game
 
Form lake_xmarker = game.getForm(0x0300307b)

D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\Scripts\Source\dz_hearthfire_cleanup.psc(10,20): no viable alternative at input 'game'
D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\Scripts\Source\dz_hearthfire_cleanup.psc(10,24): required (...)+ loop did not match anything at input '('
D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\Scripts\Source\dz_hearthfire_cleanup.psc(10,5): Unknown user flag game
No output generated for D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\Scripts\Source\dz_hearthfire_cleanup.psc, compilation failed.

 

Am I reading the creation kit documentation really wrong?

You need to put Form lake_xmarker = game.getForm(0x0300307b) in an event.

Thankyou so much! This is the kind of thing missing from the documentation that could really kill the motivation of a newbie modder like myself, once again, nexus forums to the rescue:)
