Suggestions & Requests / Re: The best way to learn scripting quickly?
« on: July 13, 2011, 06:43:36 AM »
Scripting all makes sense, but the most important part is getting to understand every single bit of it. If you're modifying something and you don't understand a part of it, you should look at the whole script first, and try to understand it all. Just think about all of it.
I learned it mostly by looking at scripts, and I also looked at a couple of tutorials by Bloxland on youtube. Those were actually quite useful.
Anyway, once you've been looking through scripts, tweaking them and such, you need to remember to put them back to normal, or else I believe it seriously messes with the people coming to your server.
My first scripting project failed horribly. I'll revisit it later, no doubt, but I still learned a lot while working on it. Now I understand most of the grammar, as you could call it, necessary as well. There are still things that I do not understand, but I generally have a good bit of knowledge about scripting.
I do not know how to overwrite functions yet, which is probably important, but at the moment I can't research it, really. The computer I'm working with is absolutely idiotic in every way.
