SSE Help with Script.

[Herby8860]

I'm attempting to make a script to auto strip the Player and Npc's when they enter a pool following this article https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/30265?tab=articles. I copy the text to create a new script for the magic effect, but I get 2 errors and it fails to compile. This is the first script I've tried and have no clue where to begin to fix this. Any help is appreciated.

You need to remove this line to start with:

 

Scriptname Nul_Strip_Effect_Script_002 extends ObjectReference

[Herby8860]

I was able to remove 1 error after viewing the post on my phone and saw the characters "" at the beginning of the second line. They didn't show up on the CK editor, but I deleted the line and typed it again.

 

Now I only have the EOF error.

[IsharaMeradin]

I took your script as posted and deleted the aforementioned line and also deleted the empty spaces and returns between ActiveMagicEffect at the end of the ScriptName line and the beginning of Spell in the first property declaration then entered fresh returns. The script compiled fine without errors.

 

Always use a plain text editor when writing script code outside of the Creation Kit. The same is true when copy / pasting from a web source, copy into a plain text editor before copying into the Creation Kit editor. Doing so removes any hidden characters that can cause issues with the compiler.

[Herby8860]

I'll try again tomorrow after work. I removed the line and deleted the empty spaces and a fresh enter between the 2 lines. Now I get this :

No output generated for Nul_Strip_Effect_Script_002, compilation failed.

I'm going to download notepad++ and use that to paste the text into before copying to a new script and see if that solves my problem.

Appreciate the help.

Make sure you have the SKSE PSC files extracted to the correct directory that the compiler is using. Or after installing Notepad++ set it up to compile PSC scripts and also set it up to use multiple source file locations (see here: https://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=Notepad%2B%2B_Setup)

 

Basically, the compiler has to have access to the script being extended and on up the extension chain. The compiler also needs access to the scripts containing each function in use and if any of those functions call a function on yet another script it needs access to those too. If any of that is missing, you'll get errors similar to what you have posted.

[Herby8860]

Thank you! I added the SKSE source scripts to the Skyrim data file and copied into notepad++ before copying into the creation kit editor and it worked perfectly.
