Very new to Modding, need some help with scripts.

I just recently gained interest in modding, and have mostly just been messing around. One thing that has eluded me so far is scripting. I've read various tutorials and have made attempts at my own code, but things never really work out, or they work, but I don't know how or why. For example, in kotor 1 how would I go about making it to where Trask Ulgo is the only party member? (as in it removes the PC from the pary, makes trask the leader, and has you play as him, until a certain point.) I can only seem to find constants for all the other companions, but him. Also what platform would you suggest for writing scripts, I've been using the kotor tool text editor, but do you have any better suggestions? Lastly is there any good reads regarding scripting before, I go jumping into trying to make this work? I'd appreciate any help, I have very little experience in this, and i'd love the input. Sorry if this post felt kinda random. Thanks.

Welcome!

 

Trask is in Bastila's slot, so he uses her constant. As far as actually switching over to Trask, I believe this can help you: http://www.lucasforums.com/archive/index.php/t-151963.html

 

I just use the KotOR Tool Text Editor myself.

 

I recommend Googling "NWN Lexicon" and downloading that. Inside, go to the Lyceum section and read the Primer; in particular, read the Basics, Conditionals and Loops, and the Arithmetic Operators. The Compiler Directives part won't hurt either.

Thank you so much, I'll take a look.
