I'm editing the scripts to a mod I've installed: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=11477. so that my character no longer becomes transparent. for whatever reason the + key doesn't work to increase transparency. However, I cannot save any changes I make in the CS without getting some kind of error. for example "begin end block on line 95..." i load the construction set via obse and I still get these problems. I was wondering if there is another program to edit scripts, or if there's a way to force a save on a script even if it's incorrect. Thanks for the help.

It's only a guess, but if the CS is working and you can edit your mod/script, then everything should be fine as long as you're coding it correctly. I have no experience with obse and have always used just the CS by itself. Maybe there's a conflict? I'm not sure. Hopefully someone else can help

Copy your script to notepad, then look at that to find if there's something wrong. If CS warns about syntax error, there's really error on your script, usually.

You probably don't have an "End" somewhere in your script.

You can't just ignore the warnings, because the script won't work if you don't fix them.

Well, the scripts seem to be working fine in game despite the errors in the CS. (they're not my scripts by the way, their from the mod spell deflection) could someone with scripting experience tell me how to fix them anyway? (for my own personal use) the CS identifies problems with lines 95, 167, 175, and 180. saying something like "invalid block" or "invalid begin end." All i really want to do is change the alpha transparency controller keys to 74 and 78, and the alpha transparency to 1.0 instead of 0.5. i'm unable to do that though because of these four lines. thanks again for the help and the responses, i really do appreciate it.

Can you see what is wrong?
