sagittarius22 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 :wallbash: Guys, could someone provide a decent tutorial about scripting? I swear, I don't understand ANYTHING about what's said in the wiki. While the old scripting was clever and easy, this one seems to be from another planet. I really need help on this one. :psyduck: Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elec0 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I'm planning on making some basic tutorials soon. The API is documented pretty well, but implementing it isn't as much, and it's annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thepal Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 It is going to be a little more difficult for beginners to pick up. The properties feature is probably going to cause the most confusion. You are no longer (as far as I can tell) able to reference things directly. Instead of saying AddItem DaedricBoots 1, you have to create an external "property" for the script, connect it with DaedricBoots, and add that instead. A little more confusing. However, it should be a lot more powerful. I'm a programmer, so it hasn't given me any issues yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elec0 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Yeah, that was the biggest issue I had, as I didn't see it anywhere on the wiki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really need help on this one. :psyduck: Thanks...Its been a while since i touched the previous scripting language. But as far as i recall, it was pretty structured, Papyrus instead is object oriented, and there lies the difficulty for the ppl that were used to the previous one. The changes in programming paradigms arent easy. I think that the Wiki tutorials are too practical. I mean, they teach you how to get stuff working, but it doesnt tells you what is an object, how you're calling it, how it operates. Its more like "call this, in one side enters the ref, on the other side magic happens" That will get you faster to the end of the tutorial, but once you want to re purpose it, it gets harder to know how to use it well.

ChromeWarriorXIII Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I'm planning on making some basic tutorials soon. The API is documented pretty well, but implementing it isn't as much, and it's annoying. If you do end up making some basic tutorials, I'll definitely look into those. I went through the few tutorials on the wiki but I feel like I haven't learned anything. This is also my first scripting language (I kinda have to learn it if I want to expand upon my mod), so it's been even harder for me, having absolutely no reference to anything when going through the currently available tutorials.

Elec0 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Here's a basic tutorial on scripting. I don't really explain the script, but the wiki documents that part well enough. Edited February 10, 2012 by Elec0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
