alright so I have no idea how to script, I know basic computer programming but very little, so if anyone could tell me how to do this:

character presses a switch that brings up a menu and you chose a book(i.e. Grognak, Guns and Bullets, or Big Book of Science) to be made, after chosing one it will tell you to have 150 caps, and 5 burnt or destroyed (any book you find other than another usable book) books, and press ok, and out pops a book.

I won't wrtite it for you, but you are going to need to use these commands:

http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/ShowMessage
http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/GetButtonPressed
http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/GetItemCount

And you'll need both an OnActivate block and a GameMode block.

The 'Begin' blocks of code:
http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/Begin

im still lost with most of this

Iv gotten this far

scn NHBook-O-Maticbegin OnActivate	Show Message BookOMatic	set awaitingInput to 1endbegin Gememode	If awaiting input == 1		set buttonVar to GetButtonPressed				If buttonVar > -1			set awaitingInput to 0						if buttonVar == 0			elseif buttonVar == 1			elseif buttonVar == 2			elseif buttonVar == 3			elseif buttonVar == 4			elseif buttonVar == 5			elseif buttonVar == 6			elseif buttonVar == 7 

so how do I get each one to make a book, and choice 7 is meant to lead to a new box (next) and how do I do that

You will use http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/GetItemCount to make sure the player has the correct items BEFORE allowing them to the menu.

You will use http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/RemoveItem to remove the objects to make the book from the player.

You will use http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/AddItem to add the new book to the player.

allright that help alittle
