All scripts will have a title ( starting with script 01 )
just respond by quoting script XX and help me with the script ( sometimes i may have 3 or 4 scripts i need help with and its easier this way ) -personal link- http://webpages.charter.net/manauser/morrowind/indenter.htm

You're missing an endif in the final block.
Edit: And the script would be much clearer if you used elseif instead of only endif and if. Elseif is there to simplify a lot of the cases you've expanded.

Ive never understood elseifs... I remember 3 or 4 pages of people trying to explain it to me but ive never grasped it.
Edit: and there were 3 endifs i just accidentally cut one off when i quoted it. I fixed it in the OP.

[Damned_Queen]

You mean.. you don't understand what one is? Or you don't understand why you should use them?

Logically, if first condition is met, do the stuff in that if block. Else, if your second condition is met, do the stuff in that block. And so on.

[Roberta Obrien]

Meaning every time i use them my script doesnt work and that made no sense even though it sounds so obvious...

But im going to attempt here and tell me if this is right

If ( Variable == 0 )set Variable to 1elseif ( variable == 5 )Set Variable to 2elseset variable to 3

Is that right?

[Georgia Fullalove]

Yea, that works. THAT WORKS.

[Penny Courture]

but... what wrong with the script above... probably some typo
im getting a right eval error message and compiled message. Usually that means i spelled something wrong.

[Ludivine Poussineau]

may I suggest you give MWEdit a try? It can help you find the exact error lines

[Lexy Corpsey]

You want http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Tes3Mod:GetJournalIndex and not Journal to test for what journal entries the player has.

[Louise]

Thank you Jac. I don't understand anything about MWEdit but i will give it a try.

[Sophie Louise Edge]

MWEdit is essentially the construction set for non-graphical editing- meaning there is no render window. Probably one of the best features about it is its syntax highlighting and extensive error checking in scripts.

[RUby DIaz]

Just one FYI, don't use it with dialog. It has a habit of breaking it.

[CHANONE]

Thank you.

I could be wrong, but I think you need an endif at the end of that block.

[Brian LeHury]

Thank you Jac. I don't understand anything about MWEdit but i will give it a try.

You're welcome. The Journal command is for adding a journal entry to the player's journal. You can also use SetJournalIndex if you want to change the journal index, but not add a new entry. It could be useful for tracking a player's progress in a quest without letting them know you're tracking them. I don't think you need an actual journal entry for that command, but you do for Journal.

[Alina loves Alexandra]

SetJournalIndex doesn't need an index, you're right, Jac. I think it can also be used to go backwards in a quest if need be.

When I was scripting my modTESTchargen mod, MWEdit seemed to corrupt it after a while. The only thing I did in MWEdit for that mod was go straight to the script window and start scripting.. it worked fine for a little while, but after so many saves through MWEdit, the mod just stopped working and I had to copy and paste the scripts into a new mod in the CS in order to continue working. This happened several times.

Agreed. MWEdit is fantastic to write & test scripts, to search and cross-reference items, but if you don't need extended commands (no MWSE scripting), when you are sure that your scripts are MWEdit-strict-syntax-approved, it is safer to always copy/paste your perfectly clean scripts from MWEdit to TESCS and recompile them/save your mod from TESCS.
