 {{InDepth|The long line of code beginning with ''QF_GSQ01_01000D62'' looks scary.

 a reference which is, in fact, directed toward our quest object, ''GSQ01''.
-Consider ''QF_GSQ01_01000D62'' as a "type". It's type is that of '''script'''.

+If the line in ''Send_Story()'' were just
+<source lang="papyrus">
+QF_GSQ01_01000D62 tempGSQ01 = GetGSQ01
+</source>
+That would be the same as:
+<source lang="papyrus">
+QF_GSQ01_01000D62 tempGSQ01 = GetGSQ01 as Quest
+</source>
+The "as" operator is called a '''cast''' and the following statement looks for something in GSQ01 to "match" the '''script''' object ''QF_GSQ01_01000D62'':
+<source lang="papyrus">
+QF_GSQ01_01000D62 tempGSQ01 = GetGSQ01
+</source>
+Unfortunately Quest doesn't match and it won't compile because there is no implicit casting of ''GetGSQ01'' to ''QF_GSQ01_01000D62''
+It's also worth noting that code with such methods of casting only operate within '''Function'''s.
