LE I know Oblivion Scripting But Not Skyrim Scripting

[LegoManIAm94]

I have a mod and I want to convert it to Skyrim, I just dont understand the scripting. If someone who knows scripting in Skryim and could help me make a mod that can change the weather to what you please. Here is a link to the Oblivion version. The mod is 95% scripting in Oblivion and I will do as much as I can.

I'd suggest you have a look at this:

http://www.creationkit.com/Papyrus_Introduction

 

When you are farmiliar with how Papyrus works, go here (scroll down the the bottom, there is also a second page):

http://www.creationkit.com/Category:Papyrus

 

Here are all the entries for Weather Script, which will obviously be of help to you:

Good luck, hope this helps :)

just follow this guy and youll do fine

I have done fine so far but I expanded my scripts and they just wont compile beyond this point. I cannot fix it. I copied the texts into notepad text files to easily read and put them in the zip below.

 

01.txt - Line 7

 

I want it to see if WEATHERVAR is NOT EQUAL to WEATHERVARNEW global variable. I made the variables in the creation kit. If it was Oblivion I would go "if ( WEATHERVAR != WEATHERVARNEW)"

 

02.txt - Line 17

 

It is to open the WEATHERMENUChanging message menu which I made in the creation kit under messages.

[demidekidasu]

What is the compile error you get? Can you copy-paste it for us please? You have not defined SkyrimClear(01.txt, line 10), I can see that right away.

 

In 02.txt "WEATHERMENUChanging" is undefined(line 17). With Papyrus you must define everything at the start of the script like you did with the Global Variables.

 

Try putting this in your properties of 01.txt (though I don't know how to define weather types, I assume it is this):

Weather Property SkyrimClear Auto

Put this in 02.txt:

Message Property WEATHERMENUChanging Auto

[IsharaMeradin]

01.txt line #7

You have

if WEATHERVAR.Getvalue() =! WEATHERVARNEW.Getvalue()

Needs to be

if WEATHERVAR.Getvalue() != WEATHERVARNEW.Getvalue()

Just a simple flip of the ! and =

I have added the changes both of you told me to add but I get the following errors

Post the actual scripts here in the thread. Put them inside the spoiler tag (third button - green & white box - top row, click it, open the drop down and find Spoiler, press ok.)

 

Makes it much easier for me to see what is going on and reply about it when it is all on the same page. Also with the changes you made the line numbering is off so we haven't a clue about which lines the errors are actually talking about.

Try these...

It was easier to correct than try to explain. Ask specific questions about a change if you don't understand what it is doing.

I'm fairly certain about the top one but I'll leave room for error on the second one.
