Source File

Papyrus source files have the extension .psc and can use any of the valid Encodings and Line Endings. The file name must be the same as the identifier in the Script Header. The Script Header must be the first line in the file that is neither a comment nor an empty line.

; MyScript.psc
ScriptName MyScript

Fallout 4 added Namespaced Identifiers which are identifiers separated by columns (:). Each Identifier of a Namespaced Identifier must be the parent of the next Identifier in the File System.

ScriptName Quests:MyQuest:Script1
