modding challenge scripts, need help

Post » Fri May 04, 2012 9:04 pm

I'm trying to redo certain challenges like "You Run Barter Town" to give out small permanent increases in skill points (like +5 Barter points) as part of an overhaul mod, but even though I can edit the stock scripts (like the Barter Town Challenge script), any custom scripts I add don't show up on the pickable Reward script lists.

The script is for the Crafty Veteran Challenge and my custom script changing it is labeled "RMChallengeCraftVetSCRIPT".

I can't seem to make this script show up on the list of available reward scripts in the GECK, even though the script saved correctly, nor can I change out the default "ChallengeMediumXP" script for my custom version.


I'm an utter novice at scripting, so could anyone tell me how to fix this?

When you have the script editor open go to the top right and you'll find a drop down for Script Type. There are three types: Object, Quest, and Effect. For Challenges, I believe you need an Effect script.

Whenever you attach a script to something in GECK, only scripts of the correct type will show up on the script drop down list.
