Herculine Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I'm totally illiterate when it comes to scripting. Aside from the CS wiki, what are some good sources of instruction for newbies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickleYield Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 CS Wiki is basically it. I've found it somewhat obtuse, but I've never found a good "point a to point b" scripting resource. There are two super beginner "make a message pop up" type of tutorials and the rest is mostly lists and lists of functions etc. I think there is a decent simple quest tutorial there also.

Pronam Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Most tutorials are quite hidden on the cs wiki, others point out to tesalliance. Generally, there isn't much.The best course is always to find an easy vanilla script in oblivion and play with it.If that doesn't work the way you want, you can ask people here. Step by step you'll now how to handle the things, but unfortunately.. a lot needs to be learned by yourself, by trial and error. :(... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RagnaHighArc Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 The fastest way to learn is to find a script that does or comes close to what you wanna do and figure out the logic behind the code with the help of The Construction Set Wiki''s search box or it's all functions list. It's going be extremely slow at first. So, just keep reading and figuring out things. I wrote my first script with the help of the wiki and when i gave up on it, i made another script without realizing that the first one actually worked. If it can help someone like me, someone with no coding experience, then i'm sure the website can help you too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herculine Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 Thanks to all of you for your help and support. I'm still intimidated by scripting, but at least I know where to find help if I get lost. :thanks: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
