AddPerk Script Help : V

» Tue Oct 22, 2013 1:51 am

I've made some changes to the Smithing perk tree and need to make sure the player has the first perk in the tree if/when they do the blacksmithing tutorial. I've managed to make the tutorial give the player the necessary perk if they don't have it.

Game.GetPlayer().AddPerk(SimpleCrafting)

SimpleCraftingAdded.Show()

but I'd like to be able to give the player a replacement perk point in the event they've already spent a perk point on this perk. The following is the script I'm trying to use but it's giving me errors still.

l133 ;give player needed perk or replacement point

l132 if Game.GetPlayer().HasPerk(SimpleCrafting) == 1

l133 then Game.AddPerkPoints(1)

l134 SimpleCraftingAlready.Show()

l135 else Game.GetPlayer().AddPerk(SimpleCrafting)

l136 SimpleCraftingAdded.Show()

l137 endif

I get an error at lines 133 and 135. The errors are pasted below.

Here's where I got the AddPerkPoints information:

The If syntax is wrong;

l133   ;give player needed perk or replacement pointl132   if Game.GetPlayer().HasPerk(SimpleCrafting) == 1l133        Game.AddPerkPoints(1)l134        SimpleCraftingAlready.Show()l135   elsel136         Game.GetPlayer().AddPerk(SimpleCrafting)l137         SimpleCraftingAdded.Show()l138   endif

And a small suggested optimization:

l132   Actor Player = Game.GetPlayer()l133   ;give player needed perk or replacement pointl132   if Player.HasPerk(SimpleCrafting) == 1l133        Game.AddPerkPoints(1)l134        SimpleCraftingAlready.Show()l135   elsel136         Player.AddPerk(SimpleCrafting)l137         SimpleCraftingAdded.Show()l138   endif

Because Game.GetPlayer() takes processing time and there's no reason to use it more than once in a single script.

Ah, I see. I should really go through the tutorials again but I've done them in the past and it's hard to get through them a second time when you remember most of it still.

Thanks for the help! It compiled successfully without errors, I'll have to wait until later to see if it runs correctly in-game.

You had a Then you didn't need.

Anything after If "this or that", is assumed to be Then "do this" by the script "brain", unless it meets an Else.
