What?!

Errors during compiling with the given script for amulet. The actual code is copy paste from what's given in the bottom section. Starting 1 compile threads for 1 files...

Compiling "GSQAmuletScript"...

That sounds like you've specified the wrong type for your GSQ01 property. You expect a section of a script to compile on its own. Did you follow all the steps in this tutorial?

There were no errors in anything up until this point, other scripts compiled properly as well. The quest in game works as it should, minus the fact that getting the amulet does not progress the quest further. I'll post the code i have in the script. (sorry, i've never tried using wiki talk before, so I'm not sure how to properly orient myself here or make the posts look neat)

Scriptname GSQAmuletScript extends ObjectReference

Quest Property GSQAmu Auto

Event OnContainerChanged(ObjectReference newContainer, ObjectReference oldContainer)

if (newContainer == Game.GetPlayer())

GSQ01.SetStage(30)

endif

EndEvent

I'm having the exact same issue. I did notice that while the text looks fine on the wiki, when I past it "GSQ01.SetObjectivedisplayed(30)" is out of alignment with the if statement, approximately 2.5 spaces too far right. I can realign it by backspacing 3 times and pressing tab, but I get the same compiling error after doing so. What's going on here!? --Ulithium Dragon 17:20, 11 April 2012 (EDT)

UPDATE: I'm actually getting failure to compile messages for every script I try on the GSQAmulet I created! It fails to compile the auto-generated code that gets attached to every property! (This didn't happen before I tried to paste and save the pre-made code off this wiki tutorial) --Ulithium Dragon 17:36, 11 April 2012 (EDT)

Also having same problem with script compiling when following tutorial to the letter

I've actually gone through the tutorials step by step twice to see if I could eliminate whatever mistake I made here, but no luck. When trying to set up the script for Bendu Olo's death, to fail the quest, I get the errors which read:

Starting 1 compile threads for 1 files... Compiling "GSQBenduOloScript"... c:\games\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\GSQBenduOloScript.psc(3,15): cannot name a variable or property the same as a known type or script c:\games\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\GSQBenduOloScript.psc(6,12): IsCompleted is not a function or does not exist c:\games\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\GSQBenduOloScript.psc(6,12): cannot call the member function IsCompleted alone or on a type, must call it on a variable c:\games\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\GSQBenduOloScript.psc(7,8): SetStage is not a function or does not exist c:\games\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\GSQBenduOloScript.psc(7,8): cannot call the member function SetStage alone or on a type, must call it on a variable No output generated for GSQBenduOloScript, compilation failed.

Batch compile of 1 files finished. 0 succeeded, 1 failed. Failed on GSQBenduOloScript

the script I am using:

Scriptname GSQBenduOloScript extends ObjectReference

Quest Property GSQ01 auto

Event OnDeath(Actor akKiller) if (!GSQ01.IsCompleted()) GSQ01.SetStage(200) endif EndEvent

This is just a cut and paste from the tutorial, and when trying to save, the error above shows.
