Need help with two scripts

[Xxbtztrl]

Hello and thank you for reading,

   I am new to scripting and I can't for the love of me figure out how to make a script to accomplish a simple feature. Pretty much all I am trying to do is attach a script to an activator - ImpButton01 and make it so that when the player interacts with it, a message box will pop-up and it asks if the player would want to either refill bottles or cancel. I am trying to make a compatibility patch with a mod iNeed. If the player chooses to refill bottles, the script checks how many empty bottles the player has and replaces them with filled bottles with the exact same amount.

Scriptname HMSinkiNeed extends ObjectReference  

Message Property HMSinkQuestion  Auto  
{Ask to drink or not}

Message Property HMSinkRefill  Auto  
{Refills all waterskins}

Message Property HMSinkCancel  Auto  
{Decide to not do anything}

MiscObject Property _SNWaterskin_0  Auto
AlchObject Property _SNWaterskin_3  Auto

int Button

EVENT onActivate(objectReference akActionRef)

    If akActionRef == Game.GetPlayer()
        Button = HMSinkQuestion.show() ; Dialogue prompt
        if Button == 0 ; Button for refilling containers
            HMSinkRefill.show()
            int GetItemCount(item)
            if GetItemCount > 0
                Game.GetPlayer().RemoveItem(_SNWaterskin_0, GetItemCount, true)
                Game.GetPlayer().AddItem(_SNWaterskin_3, GetItemCount, true)
            elseif GetItemCount == 0
                Debug.Notification("I don't have any empty waterskins")
            endif
        elseif Button == 1 ; Button canceling prompt
            HMSinkCancel.show()
        endif
    ENDIF
endEVENT

Second script, is it possible to make light fade adjustable by messagebox from interacting an activator?

Am I doing it right or at least close? lol, the compiler keeps failing to save and I have no clue how to properly write this script, any help will be appreciated.

What error message do you get when you compile your script?

[schatten]

            int GetItemCount(item)

 

do you forgot game.getplayer() perchance?

@ladyonthemoon
C:\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\HMSinkiNeed.psc(23,19): required (...)+ loop did not match anything at input '('
No output generated for HMSinkiNeed, compilation failed.

@schatten
Yeah I think I didn't include Game.GetPlayer(), how would I add it to my script correctly?

[schatten]

You should do it like this

instead of

            int GetItemCount(item)

do

            int getitemcount

            getitemcount = game.getplayer().GetItemCount(item)

 

Also what is item? You didn't declare in the script what an item is. Or I am blind lol Replace "item" with the item you want to count.

@shatten That was exactly what was missing from my script! I've tested it in-game and it's working, thank you so much for your help
