hi there,

i am abolute new to modding in skyrim but not to programming so i tried to modify some scripts

now what do i have to do to get them run into scyrim?
I already read some pages about papyrus in the creation kit wiki but
I cant find a "How to" or something like that

You can run the script across quest or dialogue

The question was how to get it run, do i have to put it anywhere or something like that?

Here's an alternative "hello world" (to the one explained in the Wiki) from scratch.

Note, however, that this is specific to "Scripting" mods.
For other types (new weapons, new lands, etc...), others can help.

• Open the CK.
  
• Immediately save your mod to a new ESP.
  
• Create a Quest:
  Spoiler

  • Expand the Quest category in the Objects window
    
  • Right-click on the blank rows on the right and select New.
    
  • Fill in Id with "marguthHelloWorld"
    
  • Ensure Start game enabled is tick
• Ok that window and save the mod. (Save often)
  
• Open that Quest window again and attach a script to it:
  Spoiler

  • Double-click on your quest "marguthHelloWorld"
    
  • Click on the Scripts tab on the far-right of the window
    
  • Add a new Script and name it "marguthHelloWorldScript"
    
  • Edit it's Source by right-clicking on it and selecting Edit source
    
  • Copy this code into the script. Ensure that you leave the "ScriptName" line alone.
    

    Event OnInit ()     Debug.MessageBox ("Hello world")EndEvent

  • File > Save then Build > Compile the Script.
    
  • Close the Script window. Ok the Quest. Save the mod.
• Try it out in game. Ensure that marguthHelloWorld.esp is ticked in your launcher.

Note that OnInit () only runs the first time for each Script.
So if save your game after the OnInit () executes (i.e. you see Hello World) in the game, you won't see it again.
(Until you save your game without the mod and reactivat the mod.)

Next steps...go through that Quest tutorial in the Wiki.
You'll learn how to tie the Quest script with objects (i.e. actors, items, dialogue, etc...) in the game.

wow just save it and then compile it... sounds very easy...
it worked fine

ok now i tried the steps at a sharpening wheel.
i added following script:

Scriptname Sharpening extends ObjectReference  Event onActivate ( objectReference triggerRef )Debug.Messagebox("the script runs")endEvent

if i now activate a wheel nothing happend
is it the wrong event?

You would have to attach your script to the sharpening stone object that is instanced in the game.

(CraftingBlacksmithSharpeningWheel in the object window) - click "add" in the object's script area, and attach your script there...that's a start...I haven't gotten into actual activation scripts yet, but that is probably where you start.

of course i attached the script to the wheel^^ sry that i didnt say that.

maybe it's DefaultProcessingOnly flag is set to true in whatever calls up the sharpening dialog? that would prevent the OnActivate event from being called, according to the information in the http://www.creationkit.com/ObjectReference.Activate_%28Papyrus%29 page...
