Scripting question

[Darth_Robinson]

I'm trying to add a small part to the game that gives the player a new Force Power. I read the 'frequently asked scripting questions' thread, and there was a script there to add a new power, but I'm having a little trouble. Could anyone help me out a bit? I don't really know what this should look like.

Yes, it's very simple:

void main()
{
GrantSpell( int nSpell, GetObjectByTag("my_npc_tag"));
}

Replace int nSpell by the corresponding row number in spells.2da and replace my_npc_tag by the tag of the npc to which you want to give the force power (look in the utc file to find the tag).

I tried, but when I try to compile the script, it says that there is a syntax error at "int". *Scratches head*

That's because you need to replace 'int nSpell' with the row number of the spell in 'spells.2da'. For instance, if you wanted to grant the FP 'Death Field' to yourself, you'd compile this:

void main() {
   GrantSpell(11, GetFirstPC());
}

That would be my problem. Dumbass me left the 'int' in.
