Can I get some info somewhere about how to actually code scripts and the like? I can't seem to find any help scrolls in game, which really doesn't surprise me, but even when I click on "Get Nexus Help" on the scripting screen, I get nothing. I don't mean it loads slow and I'm impatient and don't want to wait for it, I mean absolutely nothing happens.

I understand triggers, that's simple. It's just like BASIC... if A happens, then B. Easy

But when I actually try to make scripts, or variables or the like, I try to set it up in a way that seems logical to me, but it never works.

Can somebody explain to me how this works in Nexus? Or at least point me to where I can find this info? I can't seem to find anything in the forums, either, among the mountains of topics.

That is a great place to start. Also, it helps if you give a specific example of what you want to be scripted.

Nothing specific right now, I just want to learn how to do it myself, so I can make my own scripts for whatever I'll need in the future. I don't want to ask every single time I need a new script how to code it.

I've found the best way to learn about scripting is by looking at some scripts done by other people. This worked for Nexus and Cmud for me (MUSH is just overcomplicated), so if you have anything in particular, you should ask so we can provide you with some examples.

Which part of Mush scripting were you looking at? Lua is astoundingly readable. If you're trying to interpret the xml, I'd suggest making your own triggers and looking at what each option translates to.

That's ok, the link you gave me is exactly what I need, I know exactly what I was doing wrong now. I'm still new to all this, so I don't need anything overly complex anyway. Anything I need right now, I'm sure I can work out on my own, as it's not that complex a coding system. Maybe someday I'll need help with more complicated things as I understand the game more and more, but until then, this will do. Thanks!

Want my Nexus Autosipper?

Why don't you link that, so I can help novices who may need it?

You can't really link nexus scripts, you have to put them in manually. I'll send you a PM with it though.

I believe he was assuming that you had a thread somewhere about it and could link to that.

Extremely basic autosipper I put together in about 15 seconds. Enoy.

EDIT: After a few moments, I've realized I forgot to mention. To install, open the Archives in Nexus, select IMPORT, copy and paste, and then #SET MINIMUMHEALTH

Also, always ALWAYS have healing on you. If you don't, you will be spammed to no end.

wish nexus wouldn't break so much. can't beat anyone in a fight because my reflexes just give out on me
