Is there an official portable apps template or do u have to "Edit" exsisting scripts? Cause it would be easier if there was a basic script to use, cause i have been using the Portable App template 2.5 in an attempt to make a portable app, but there are some parts of it that i dont get.

The "official" launchers use a common pattern, but I haven't seen a template as such. There are some contributed templates or programs that create scripts, but they aren't (yet) official.
NSIS might be a good scripting language to learn, but it might be intimidating if you started out with one of the more complex examples. Depending on what you are working on, there might be an existing launcher that has already figured out how to solve the problem, and working through that script might be quite instructive.

There really isn't an official template at the time being. Your best bet would be to check out some existing launchers. For simple moving of settings from the app dir to the data dir look at SumatraPortable. For handling a few registry entries, look at 7-zipPortable. For handling more complex issues like settings in APPDATA, look at FirefoxPortable.
