A well detailed torque tutorial?

[TB2]

I have asked for this, over, and over...Yet, each one is hard to understand. Example:

A + means add.
A - means subtract.

How the heck am I supposed to know how to use them? Anyways, just a well detailed torque scripting tutorial, so I can start using this waste of time on my computer to something.

You will not find a torque tutorial that anyone can read and understand torque enough to make a decent addon, ever.
You cannot learn how to code in a couple of hours, a couple of days, nor a couple of weeks. It takes a lot of time.

The best ways to learn is to read through existing addons. If you think you understand how something works, change a number here or there, and see what happens.

The best tutorial you will find are resources that are in the stickied topic. The best place to search for info is here in Coding Help.
Learning like 'X does blah blah' is not effective. Find something your interested in making and read through similar add-ons.

There are a few detailed ones, maybe you're just having trouble understanding them. The best way to learn is to keep on making new things and asking questions. You should find someone who is online a lot and add them on Steam or RTB so you can get quick answers to any questions you have.

You might be better off learning Lua or something as a first language to get used to some basic programming practices.

Lua's for Robloxians, I want to learn BLOCKLAND's scripting language.

TorqueScript is a terrible first language to learn, infact, its a terrible language altogether. Learn another language first so you can think programmatically. Plus there might be some tutorials to your requirements.

torque isn't a terrible language, everyone bashes it for no reason, sure it's not as good as it can be but its not horrendous

It's not that bad

It's reasonably similar to C (which happens to be still used quite a lot even in more modern times), and has pretty much everything you need when it comes to logic and programming constructions. I would say it's easier to learn than virtual basic, no pointless syntax simplifications that actually hurts the simplicity of the overall program.

As for tutorials, I thought jazz/yola made a nice one for beginners a while back? I didn't read it but it looked pretty thorough.

Torquescript is great for beginners. It's case-insensitive, has automatic type casting, no classes or includes to worry about, and moreover is incredibly basic.

For starting off with Blockland scripting, this is a pretty good set of tutorials. Go in order.

They're very good tutorials with lots of pictures, example code, and exercises for you to practice with.

Thanks, hope to be making mods in the Blockland community within the next year.
