Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Mods Question about scripting

One of the issue I run into with making any mod is the scripting side of things - I just can't think in the right way to write scripts, even after years of trying and god knows how many tutorials!

I've tried NWN (and NWN2) for game scripting before, and could barely do the simplest things with it, and having had a brief look at the toolset for this, I can see I'm going to struggle.

Fortunately, someone created a tool that was a simple wizard that created the NWScripts for you and it was simply a case of copying and pasting the script into the toolset. This allowed me to knock together some fairly accomplished games, just using the tool for creating the scripts, and I'm sure I wasn't the only person to use it!

Is it possible for someone to create something similar for D:OS?

I appreciate that the syntax and language seems to be a bit more complex, however I think that something like a script generating wizard would help a lot of people out.

The link to the actual generator is currently for me, however the Wiki entry for it can be found here:

Lilac Soul's NWN Script Generator

I apologize for the rambling in the post!

You don't learn coding from tutorials or by opening a game editor. You can learn some aspects of coding, yes. But ultimately it is a formal constructed language that uses syntax to organize instructions.

I'd suggest you get a good (science) book on how to program in C. It is a good starting point to learn many other languages. Get a good basic understanding of C and work from there. With a solid base you can start to experiment much much easier. And it is always good to take a look at mathematics: propositional calculus (first-order logic) and measure theory come to mind.
