I'm making this thread so I can post the most common questions people ask me, so I don't have to repeat myself. I'll add in some stuff I've learned the hard way as well.

• Creating NPCs. If you set the PerceptionRange flag to PCPerception, it will invalidate the NPC in game and not create it.
• Many answers can be found by pressing F1 in the tooslet.
• Required 2das modifications to make a single custom spell:
  • Spells.2da - the spell itself
  • iprp_spells.2da - handles setting the spell as an item property
  • des_crft_scroll.2da - handles the item creation if they scribe the spell.
  • des_crft_spells.2da - handles the ability to scribe/brew/imbue an item as well if the item can have a spell cast on it for effect.
• OnHitCastSpell: properties do not fire quickly. It is possible to fire it multiple times before its script is actually handled.
