Help! I'm a newbie when it comes to scripting for NWN. I've played with the toolset and I'm now venturing into scripting. So far I have been unable to effectly get any script I've made to work.
What I'm looking for is trouble shooting resource links, or just some insight.
Thanks

Celowins tutorials are a great place to start, I started them a few months ago and even though I never got around to finishing them. Its left me knowing at least what half of the code I look at actually means.
Download the NWN lexicon as well, that is a excellent resource for scripters new and old
Thank you, Daz!

Keep in mind that NWScript does not use arrays, and that none of the functions from C are used. A function looks like this:
function()
... but you'll figure that out as you go. My best advice is to learn C first, then move on to NWScript. That will go a long way toward demystifying what all the punctuation means.
http://nwn.bioware.com. Post any troubles you have. Don't expect people to make the scripts for you, but they'll unbug those you make. Plus there's so much explanation and ready made scripts, it's a gold mine. It takes a few days to browse through it all though, because all the stuff for newye scripters goes way back...
NWN script generator. Good to get started, then gets a bit meh.. But great for learning.
NWN Lexicon. A must.
NWN Vault, a few scripts there too.
This couldn't possibly be a helpful link that was completely neglected by the jerk who wrote the post that this link doesn't link to, which wasn't left incomplete and stuff, so such a broken link is obviously completely useless and an absolutely huge waste of your time. Seriously, stop reading this link and go look for a book on the subject to which you are asking for help on amazon which will surely be a far more productive use of your time. Don't even think of asking the aforementioned jerk for help or anything. That would just be an utter waste of time, which you obviously have in abundance if you're still reading this. Really, why -ARE- you still reading this? It is just utterly mind boggling that you have not just closed your browser in disgust at the futility and sheer unhelpfulness of this post.
Oh yeah! I almost forgot-
