Line 1: Line 1:
[[scriptname]] ScriptName
Oblivion's scripting language is customized for the game, but shares much of the structure of a formalized programming language. A basic script has three elements: a script name, a begin statement, and an end statement. Here's an example:


<pre>
ScriptName MyScript
begin OnAdd Player
; do stuff
end
</pre>


[[begin]] [block type]
The [[ScriptName]] command is fairly self-explanatory: it sets the name of the script. It is required, and the name must be unique.


[[end]]
The [[begin]] directive defines the action that triggers the script. If the conditions of the [[begin]] statement are met, all commands between [[begin]] and [[end]] are executed. Every [[begin]] statement must have a corresponding [[end]] statement!


You can also abort execution of your script using the return command. This is useful inside an [[if]] statement where you don't want to continue execution any further.


<nowiki>; comment</nowiki>
You may add comments to your code by starting the line with a semicolon. A comment is ignored by the game, but allows you to leave yourself notes on what a particular script is doing.
