Eidius Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Hello all, I want to learn how to do scripting and I have a lot I want to do.I have heard terms like SKSE, widgets, papyrus and since using the creationkit I have noticed some options to add 'scripts' as well, can you guys clarify how all of these play hand in hand together? Are they all different things or are they just part of a large system? So since simply googling these terms seems to confuse the hell out of me further is there a step by step guide of what these things are and how to use them to create the scripts I need for the gameplay that I want? Thanks! Edited July 22, 2015 by Eidius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBizkit Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 From what you're saying you seem to be pretty clueless, so don't expect that you can go ahead and "script a bunch of stuff" after watching a few tutorials. papyrus is the script language used for skyrim. I'd look for beginners scripting tutorials + look at scripts from simple mods that do simple things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrollThief84 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 A good place to start would be to have a look here: http://www.creationkit.com/Category:Papyrus Look at all the references on that page. Also google; "how to script Skyrim creation kit". It should help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattiewagg Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Don't try to script ANYTHING big until you've learned the stuff. http://www.creationkit.com/Category:Tutorialshttp://www.creationkit.com/Category:Papyrus Read both. If you still want to keep learning, see the below. This is how you use SKSE scripts:http://skyrimmw.weebly.com/skyrim-modding/common-modding-questions-skyrim-modding-tutorial (See very bottom) This is how you make MCMs:https://github.com/schlangster/skyui/wiki/MCM-Quickstart This is how you make widget bars:https://github.com/schlangster/skyui/wiki/Mardoxx_Sandbox Widgets not made with SkyUI widget bars are incredibly difficult, tedious, and require usage of Flash and such. You won't be doing those anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sLoPpYdOtBiGhOlE Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Keep a screen cleaner handy and a fresh supply of spare keyboards and mice.Because papyrus scripting sucks donkey doodle and will push you wits to their end with it's unwritten learning curve.Even if you have a basic understanding scripting in other languages. Screen cleaner is for wiping the spit of rage off your monitor.If your spitting at the screen in fury, you can guess what spare keyboards and mice are for :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattiewagg Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 It's not THAT bad, really, but you'll run into a few rough patches definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I just rewrite (not copy) some else's code if it does exactly as I want? Codes like take player possessions and put them in a box and etc?
