I've written a few of these scripts and all compiled fine - this one won't...

Quest Property MyQuest AutoInt Property StageToSet AutoWeather Property ChangeWeather AutoGlobalVariableProperty DeathCount AutoEvent OnDeath(Actor killer)DeathCount.Mod(1)If DeathCount.GetValue() == 3ChangeWeather.SetActive()MyQuest.Setstage(StageToSet)EndifEndevent

Get these arrors...

(6,34): required (...)+ loop did not match anything at input 'Auto'

(6,38): mismatched input '\\r\\n' expecting STATE

So I studied the default setstageondeath script and tried this...

Quest Property MyQuest AutoInt Property StageToSet AutoWeather Property ChangeWeather AutoGlobalVariableProperty DeathCount AutoAuto state waitingEvent OnDeath(Actor killer)DeathCount.Mod(1)If DeathCount.GetValue() == 3ChangeWeather.SetActive()MyQuest.Setstage(StageToSet)EndifEndeventEndstateSTATE inactiveendSTATE

Got exactly the same errors. What am I doing wrong please?

Event OnDeath(Actor akKiller)

You typed it wrong. Also make sure your script extends Actor or ReferenceAlias.

Looks like you need a space to separate GlobalVariable from Property

Parameters in events can have any name you wish, as long as they're the correct amount/order/type. The missing space is the culprit...

The compiler even says that it's on line six. I know I didn't pay attention to the errors at first, but really, they can be informative

ARGH! You're right, I'm script blinded.

Just a quick question, what's the difference between Event OnDeath(Actor akKiller) and Event OnDeath(Actor killer)? I've looked at CK's default onDeath scripts and they use the latter.

Fail, i didn't check the error line lol.

There's no difference. You can rename the variables in events/functions to whatever you want - though I guess some would consider it "best practice" to use the defaults in most cases for consistency's sake.

So I could use "Event OnDeath(Actor theSwine)" ?

Yep.

Edit: Though I suppose I should add for clarity that you can't change the order or type of variables in a function/event - you can just change the names of the variables. Technically what you're doing when you add an event to your script is that you're "extending" the same event in the parent script (the Actor.psc script, in this case).
