what are you trying to script?

basic things you'll want to know is echo("blub"); will print to the console
global variables start with $, ie $duck = "quack";
local variables start with %, ie %duck = "quack";

without knowing what you're trying to do, it's hard to give suggestions
and making server sided scripts is very different from client sided ones, which are both very different from scripting for weapons/vehicles

I'm trying to make wacky things you know light effects, pong all that. Custom weapons

[phflack]

look at existing lights if you want to make your own
there were some cool ones that moved and did funky things

edit existing weapon scripts that are similar to what you want
if you want it to look different, you're going to need to make/find a model for it

pong can be built ingame, or scripted like that client sided tetris GUI

Assuming you have no programming knowledge, your '1 day off' isn't going to be really productive in terms of creating content. You need to learn about the scripting language, the basic concept of programming and a few other things which depending on your learning curve, could take from 1 week to several months to actually create something minimal.

If you want to get started:

Here's another good link:

You can also edit pre-existing add-ons such as the default gun, to learn exactly how all of that good stuff is handled in blockland.
