[LE] Script Help - Fusing Soul Gem Pieces

Nyrolian · April 10, 2021

Hello,

Baby modder here. I've been working on a script to fuse soul gem pieces together and I can't get this thing to compile for the life of me.

Something that I really don't understand is that when I change the lines in the function TakeAway from (PiecesToRemove -=) to (PiecesToRemove = PiecesToRemove - 1), what used to be only six or so errors confined ONLY to that function suddenly become a bazillion errors spread throughout the whole script. Don't these mean the same thing? Is my syntax wrong? The compiler treats PiecesToRemove-= and PiecesToRemove -= as the same thing.

My apologies if the post is too long or I'm breaking some kind of forum rules or something. I'm very new here and just want to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Thank you.
