Hi all, I'm working on a part of my mod, where the player meets a dying NPC, and has the option to heal her.

I've given the NPC the following script, which obviously doesn't work. I've highlighted a section of the script with asterixes, as I'm unsure of the correct syntax to use. The asterixes aren't in the actual script, they're just there to point out the part I'm having trouble with.

What's supposed to happen, is script should check if a magic effect has been applied, then checks if the caster is the player. After that, it checks if the player's magic effect is the one previously declared as the property "danHealEffect" (a Healing Hands effect), and that's where I'm having trouble, as the CK wiki page for "OnMagicEffectApply" doesn't have information I need.

Scriptname danTaarumeHealScript extends actorGlobalVariable Property danTaarumeGlobal  AutoMagicEffect Property danHealEffect  Auto  Event OnMagicEffectApply(ObjectReference akCaster, MagicEffect akEffect)	if akCaster == game.getPlayer() 		if akEffect ==  ******danHealEffect()****** 			;do something 		endif 	endifEndEvent

Here's the error I get, as well:

So, what should I have written instead?

When you put parentheses after something, it thinks it is a function rather than a property/variable.

if akEffect == danHealEffect

Oh, right.

Obviously.

Thanks, I guess it's a bad habit I've gotten into. Typing something in Papyrus? ADD BRACKETS!
