Script Structuring

I've been so caught up in telling you what parts of a script do, I forgot to tell you where they should be. So let's cover that shall we? (You don't need to actually copy down the script, and probably shouldn't)

• So the first thing you want to put down is the name, which we covered, but just as a reminder it gives an ID to the script. It's always best to give your script the same name as the ID you plan to give the spell, but with "script" at the end. For example, if I were making a script for Grave Digger's Hallow, I would put "GDHSpellScript" as the Script name, and "GDHSpell" as the Spell ID. The name must ALWAYS be put down first. Example:

Scriptname TutorialSpellIIScript

• Second thing in the list is the references. It may seem confusing that the references come before the reference is actually assigned to a command, but it comes first so that the script knows to look out for these words, and recognize them as a command. If you didn't do this, the script would tell you it isn't a command, and would not let you save. Example:

Scriptname TutorialSpellIIScript

Ref me

• Now we do the block for the script. Begin the block with a block command.
  Here is a list of block commands. Spell scripts use all types of block commands, plus 3 unique ones, begin scripteffectstart, begin scripteffectupdate, and begin scripteffectfinish. After you put the block command you add in the commands. Example:

Scriptname TutorialSpellIIScript

Ref me

Begin ScriptEffectStart
Set me to getSelf ;this will always come before a command or variable if needed
If me.isessential == 0 ;this will always come before a command if needed
Kill ;this is the command, you ought to know where this goes by now
endif ;this will always come before "end" if needed
end ;this is always last

That is the basic structure of a script. If you have any questions, you can either post it or send a PM. Hopefully I've filled any gaps in your understanding of scripting, have fun!

PERFECT. THANKS SO MUCH. Answered the most part of my question . Thanks again I think I have advanced in my knowledge of scripting by 10+

Glad to hear it

I think I can take it from here

alright if you want to not put the full "scriptname" just put scn

now for variables
ref is for referance
short is a whole number
float can go up to six digets
long can go up to 12 digets I think, You will hardley need that
since the begin commmands were already done I will move on

Timer - now this can be a bite difficult, but very helpfull

scn Timer
short trigger
float timer; needs to be float
begin gamemode
if timer > 0
set timer to timer - get secondspassed; this will count down the timer
endif
if trigger == 1; whenever this variable is 1 this will run
set timer to 10 ; setting it for ten sec
endif
if timer <= 0 && trigger == 1 ;when ther timer is up this will run
set trigger to 0 ; make sure it doesn't loop
;here is where you put the effects
endif
end

Now I know it can be very difficult for beginers, but it is extrodinarily usefull and I have explained it as best as I can

Tell me if I need to explain anything

Holy crap...

I know it looks hard, but if you take it piece by piece it is a lot easier than it seems

I never learned that stuff...maybe you should make your own tutorial. These guys aren't that advanced anyway, they just recently learned conditions...

Thanks Monkeyuncle I feel like I have learned a lot today

Your not the only one, OblivionModda...

I am just going out on a limb here, but I think I am the person anyone here should come here for any scripting problems
