Compile Error - Missing EOF at "If"

[Iyeru]

Just wondering what's wrong with this script:
 
 

Scriptname CRSoulHouseQuest1CheckIfWaited extends Quest Hidden

Function CRSoulUpdaterOne()
     RegisterForUpdateGameTime(8.0)
endFunction

if CRSoulHouseQuest1.getStage() == 0
     Event OnUpdateGameTime()
          UnregisterForUpdateGameTime()
          CRSoulHouseQuest1.setStage() = 900
     endEvent
endIf

 
Basically, the game is checking every 8 in game hours after this quest has started, whether or not the player didn't achieve a specific goal or not (IE: hasn't advanced the quest past stage 0.) But the CK gives this error:
 
 

Starting 1 compile threads for 1 files...

As I don't have the rest of your files to work with, try this instead:

 

Scriptname CRSoulHouseQuest1CheckIfWaited extends Quest Hidden

 

Function CRSoulUpdaterOne()

     RegisterForUpdateGameTime(8.0)

endFunction

 

 

Event OnUpdateGameTime()

if CRSoulHouseQuest1.getStage() == 0

          UnregisterForUpdateGameTime()

          CRSoulHouseQuest1.setStage() == 900

endif

endEvent

I have no experience in scripting in Skyrim but I'm looking a t it from a developers point. This line here CRSoulHouseQuest1.setStage() = 900 looks odd to me as in other languagues it would assign a valuen to a function call instead of calling a function with a value like in CRSoulHouseQuest1.setStage(900)

 

Dunno if that's the problem, but you never know.

Yours was the problem, now I get these errors:

Serious note, the script is inside the quest CRSoulHouseQuest1, so it can't be undefined (since it knows that's the quest it's referencing to, and thusit isn't undefined.)

 

Should I set it to parent.getStage and parent.setStage instead? Since the script is running inside the quest, and not alone.

Well, I've exhausted my limited knowledge of Papyrus, maybe one of the real scripters can help you out.

Yeah, I didn't see it.

 

Fixed in my previous post.

I kind of figured it had something to do with not getting the Quest ID and defining it in the script. I just didn't figure out how to do that. Thank you though, the script compiles now, now all I have to do is write the rest of the stages/etc. and test it.

 

I've never done things so complex as these, prior, I only did NPC followers, changing leveled states, etc. But making a house and attaching a quest to it like this is really involving. I'm glad that, even with all of its bugs, the Creation Kit exists. I couldn't imagine how you'd mod this otherwise.
