Help With Simple Script

[ElisHere]

I have this simple script I am trying to compile. Most of this comes from the Creation Kit wiki. I want to start simple and just attach the script to a chest or door. All I want it to do is print a message, so I know scripts are working and the event fired.

Scriptname MyHouse extends ObjectReference  


Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)

  Debug.Trace("Activated by " + akActionRef)

EndEvent

The compiler output is below.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Papyrus Compiler\PapyrusCompiler.exe" 

MyHouse.psc 

-i="C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrimData\Scripts\Source" -o="C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts"

It looks to me like the environment is not completely setup. I followed the Notepad++ setup here, http://www.creationkit.com/Notepad%2B%2B_Setup. It was somewhat helpful. It would be nice to know what goes into TESV_Papyrus_Flags.flg and where it should be located if you try compiling from the CK.

Thanks

I use the CK compiler. I have heard that some people cannot get the Notepad++ to compile scripts correctly.

On the Papyrus Manager script list, right-click on your script name and select 'Compile'.

Yeah it's a config problem with your compiler, not the script itself.

Once I got all the output formatted for posting, I thought that was the case? Any ideas on correcting it? I have uninstalled the CK and am reinstalling at the moment.

I have gone the Script Manager route without any luck. When I create the script, it gets compiled immediately saying the file TESV_Papyrus_Flags.flg is missing. The script will not show up in the list, even after closing and reopening the window. The script file has been created when I check the script sources folder. I am uninstalling the CK and reinstalling. Maybe that will solve the problems.

Reinstalling the CK solved the issues with using the CK for the scripts and also compiling from Notepad++. Got that working, now on to writing scripts!!

Too bad the reinstall didn't fix the dual monitor bug.
