List of scripts and there uses?

[minion5]

hello, Im new to scripting, and I only have the VERY basics down. What would help me a lot, and save me tons of time would be a list of the basic scripting terms, used to edit and make scripts, and what they do in detail. Is there anything like this? if so please link me!!!!!! thanks for your time! :thanks:

Here is one page from the site I often use:

 

http://cs.bethsoft.com/constwiki/index.php...egory:Functions

 

It has a pretty good search engine, so if you are curious about a particular command or function, you can type it in and it will direct you to articles, discussion pages, and tutorials that concern that command.

 

Scripting is very complex. The documentation is very poor. Many commands only work in certain circumstances, but the documentation will often not tell you. For instance, a command might work perfectly in a Begin OnActivate block, but will not work at all in a Begin GameMode block. There are some commands which function 95% of the time. You can play-test that portion of your mod 20 times, and there will be that one single time it doesn't work for no apparent reason. Usually it is a soft failure, the game does not freeze up or crash, but what was supposed to happen does not. This could be devastating if it breaks a quest line so you cannot complete a quest. If the bugs in the Oblivion game engine are endangering your ability to complete the quests in your mod, you will need to change the quest so that can't happen, or install some sort of a fail-safe where a player can have an alternate way to restart or continue the quest without re-loading a game.

 

I wish I could be more helpful.
