wolverinetree Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I've become fairly good with dialogue and setting up NPC's, but I don't have the slightest idea of what scripting even is and what it does. Could you tell me what it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iFSS Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) Oversimplified explanation: When you were doing dialogues (or other things) - did you notice the conditions that you were imposing (like GetItemCount Caps001 > 100)? Using scripts is kind of the same thing: make something happen when a condition is met (or not). You can do multiple things when that condition is met, you can do the same thing any number of times, etc. A bad example in english: if the player is in Megaton, and it is a Thursday, and it is raining, then make Moriarty dance around the bomb whilst wearing the sexy nightwear, for one minute per cap that the player possesses, or until the player drops a box of detergent. There is a lot more to it than that, though. Have a look at Cipscis' scripting tutorials if you want to try it out. If the tutorials make no sense to you, and/or you aren't really familiar with programming at all, you may be best off learning the basics of programming from another language first. JavaScript, Python or PHP are all fairly easy to get to grips with. Edited October 12, 2011 by iFSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
