NPC Cast Spell Script Error "Invalid Reference"

[sgtchubs]

Hey all! I'm trying to port Kim from Nehrim as a follower into Oblivion and I've gotten most things working but her script to heal the player isn't working.

 

 

scn OKimFScript

short HelpPlayer

short PlayerBaseHealth

float HelpTimer

Begin GameMode

if ( OKimFRef.getCurrentAIPackage != 6 )

;KIM HELP THE PLAYER IF LOW HEALTH

if ( GetDistance Player <= 700 ) && ( GetStage mq04 >= 70 ) && ( KimFermaleRef.GetFriendHit Player < 4 ) && ( GetCombatTarget != player )

set PlayerBaseHealth to player.getbaseactorvalue health

if ( Player.GetLevel <= 15 ) && ( Player.GetActorValue Health < 65 ) && ( HelpPlayer == 0 ) && ( Player.GetActorValue Health < 0.5 * PlayerBaseHealth )

OKimFRef.Cast "aaaOKimPlayerHeal01" Player

Set HelpPlayer to 1

elseif ( Player.GetLevel > 15 ) && ( Player.GetActorValue Health < 155 ) && ( HelpPlayer == 0 ) && ( Player.GetActorValue Health < 0.5 * PlayerBaseHealth )

OKimFRef.Cast "aaaOKimPlayerHeal02" Player

Set HelpPlayer to 1

elseif ( Player.GetLevel > 20 ) && ( Player.GetActorValue Health < 200 ) && ( HelpPlayer == 0 ) && ( Player.GetActorValue Health < 0.5 * PlayerBaseHealth )

OKimFRef.Cast "aaaOKimPlayerHeal02" Player

Set HelpPlayer to 1

endif

endif

if ( GetDistance Player > 700 ) && ( HelpPlayer == 1 )

Set HelpPlayer to 0

EVP

;KimFermaleRef.MoveTo Player 32, 0, 0

endif

if ( HelpPlayer == 1 )

Set HelpTimer to HelpTimer + GetSecondsPassed

if ( HelpTimer >= 2 )

Set HelpTimer to 0

Set HelpPlayer to 0

endif

endif

endif

End

I'm getting an error at "OKimFRef.Cast "aaaOKimPlayerHeal01" Player" and I have no idea why. I've tried switching the ref with other characters and sometimes it would work, and sometimes I'd get the same error.

 

Script 'OKimFScript', line 17:

Syntax error. Invalid reference 'OKimRef' (only object refrerences and reference variables are allowed in this context)

 

 

Thanks!

Well you need to MAKE the spell

aaaOKimPlayerHeal01

...to be able to use it.

The spell does exist. The problem seems to be coming from the NPC ref. Like for example when I put

 

Baurusref.Cast "aaaOKimPlayerHeal01" Player

there is no error, but there is for OKimF. There is even errors if I put in other Vanilla NPCs

 

LyndaCarterTestref.Cast "aaaOKimPlayerHeal01" Player

spits out the same error. I'm thinking I'm missing something with the OKimF npc, but I don't know what.

[sgtchubs]

Ah! I found out. I had to actually place the NPC in the world and give it a ref id.

Objects and refs.... :D Good you did solve it. :)
