I've learnt how to script in Oblivion, can do it alright but not an expert.

Came to Fallout 3, less buggy (WOOT) and I want to make some good mods that require scripting, will any information about Oblivion scripting come in handy, and are there any major difference. Or should I just read the scripting tut again but this time for FO3

It's more or less identical. Just keep the Wiki open in a tab and you're set.

Its the same scripting language. You just have more functions and commands in FO3 which makes scripting so much easier than in Oblivion and Morrowind.

Messagebox is replaced. You now work with Showmessage You need to create the before hand. Works really well

I only modded oblivion for like a week, and since there isnt (as least I did not find one at the time) a tutorials like the v74 one, I learned it all entirely on my own. From the very little scripting (It uses Lua correct?) I did learn I can say they are very very similiar with only a few minor differences, like they said FO3 has more things that make it easier to work with.

I find SetRestrained very usefull It makes an actor unable to move. He can still attack, do everything else, just not move. Makes very useful gaurds

Fallout 3 uses a heavily modified version of C++, but you wouldn't really know to look at it. As has been said, the language itself is basically identical to Oblivion's, with the available functions being the only real difference. Aside from that, the only difference that I know if is that "short", "int" and "long" variables all use the same range, whereas in Oblivion they were slightly different.

To my knowledge, that is case in Oblivion too.

Oh, thanks for letting me know that. I haven't much Oblivion-specific scripting experience, so I was going by the information on this page on the Oblivion CS Wiki - http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Declaring_variables

Those articles need an update. Badly. Just to be clear - All variables are stored internally as doubles. However, int(short/long) vars do not have fractional parts.
