Very Basic OnHit Script

[Leecarter]

Hello everyone, nice forums you have here.

So I'm just getting my feet wet with the CK. I've made some new very basic perks and I'm trying to attach a script to one. I've got the script associated to the perk fine.

Ultimately I want to populate a WEAPON property via the perk's script property dialog. But right now I'm just doing an extremely basic script to make sure I've got all my pieces put together right. Turns out I don't.

The script:

Scriptname GM_fstLight extends ObjectReference



Event OnHit(ObjectReference akAggressor, Form akSource, Projectile akProjectile, bool abPowerAttack, bool abSneakAttack, bool abBashAttack, bool abHitBlocked) 



Debug.notification("In onHit!")



EndEvent

The log:

error: Unable to bind script GM_fstLight to (14000D63) because their base types do not match.

Any ideas where I went wrong? I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks, Lee

Are you sure perk scripts use ObjectReference?

You also have no conditions for checking what is doing the hitting.

I have no clue what reference perk scripts use. That could be the problem. Given that the CK is so new it's a pain finding online answers to questions like that. But then I suppose that's what we're creating here.

Not sure what you mean by having no conditions for checking what is doing the hitting. My thoughts were just to get a working script that drops me a note in the log, I was going to take baby steps and add conditions to the script later. Unless I need to do that somehow to get it to work.

The script must be getting associated to the character somehow because "error: Unable to bind script GM_fstLight to (14000D63) because their base types do not match." pops up in the log every time my character is hit. So if I start the game and get hit twice, the error appears twice. If I get hit 3 times the same error appears 3 times, and so on.

So I've got to be close.

Solution: echo pointed me in the right direction when he mentioned ObjectReference. Thanks.

The way I'm understanding it, that perk scripts must extend Perk, and since Perk does not have access to OnHit() it wouldn't bind correctly (just like the error above said).
