Torque is like Java? I've heard its more brown townogous to C++, never actually used it so not sure which is true tho

Java is not Javascript. Java is very different from Javascript, and by extension Torquescript. If you want to learn a language which actually has a good amount of guides online, which will help you learn to make add-ons, Javascript is probably the best you'll get.

Like Java? I'd say C#.
I feel like everyone says this just because of the same extension
They're really nothing alike

They have the same extension?
Isn't it .cs versus .class?

Regardless, they're both essentially object oriented and typed in the same way (most would say that C# is much better in both regards), but in a nutshell it's the same general concept.

my personal experience disagrees strongly with this
I just looked at mods and altered them to my needs
starting with looking at how simple client mods work and function helps, and then from there moving on to modify add-ons that are similar to what you want to do what you want
I also learned to make and edit stuff from just diving into it.  But I have since taken classes and read material on coding which, for me, has been far more efficient in terms of time investment to learning progress.  And to reiterate, once you have that formal knowledge base, diving into it becomes a whole lot more easy and productive.

I taught myself how to make models and I used existing codes for references.
