Fallout 2 Modding - Scripting 101
3 Ways to Write a Follow Script.
My first full length scripting video...complicated and long...but I hope the editing at least makes sense.
I'd love any feedback on how to better explain what's going on with the scripting process.
A couple of tips from the author of the Sfall Script Editor:
"Instead of the old assignment := you can use modern way =
There are some tricks to writing code, so writing the word
'var' press the Tab key and the word is replaced with 'variable'
the same thing with:
proc - Тab - procedure
if - Тab
elif - Тab
while/for - Тab
to avoid writing the keyword 'end' every time, press Enter after the keyword 'begin' - this will automatically insert the keyword end."
