Return of the Mr. Wallet's Blockland Scripting Class

[Mr. Wallet]

Thanks for sharing your notes Heedical, I don't have any because I'm kinda winging it using the syllabus and half-remembered things from last year.  

I should clarify that I was trying to stress that while using the console is not usually considered scripting, it basically is. Anything you put in the console is essentially a one-line script; if you know how to do anything in the console, you can put the same thing in a script file and it works.

Are you using the same Google docs thing as last time? Because I'm already in that one. Will I need to give you my email address again?

[Mr. Wallet]

The old docs are being preserved for posterity and to prevent bad things from ruining them forever; copies have been made for the new class, so you'll need the new docs to follow any edits I might make from last year.

What we learned in a nutshell:
Open console by pressing ~
Type in echo("Hello World");

He said that even typing one command into the console is considered scripting

We made a folder in our add-ons folder called Class_work, it doesn't matter the name though except it should have a _ in it.

We opened up Crimson Editor, notepad (any editor of your choice) and typed in
echo("Hello World"); then saved it as echo.cs and saved it in Class_work

Then we typed exec("add-ons/Class_Work/echo.cs"); to get the script to work.

You should also give him you email address so you can use the google docs he made.

Thanks for this. Without it I would be pondering in tonight's class.

Ok. Do you want me to pm you my email address or wait until class?

[Mr. Wallet]

PM me along with the name of your workspace, if you still have it. Never hurts to get me info early. 

[Daenth]

Class in 30 minutes, correct?

[tapemaster21]

[Kalphiter]

It's time, and where is he?

[Mr. Wallet]

No, no time change, I'm just late by 8 minutes like a jerk.  streaming now though

Day 2 was fun, though I was freaking out thinking I missed half-an-hour.
I feel I am learning, and I am enjoying the classes very much.

Same.

[Mr. Wallet]

Day 2 is probably the most boring part because it doesn't have a ton of real-world examples, but we did learn how to kill someone that enters a slash command, so the day wasn't a total waste.

and you answered all of my tons of questions, though I still need to find out a proper way to word my variable in a variable question, I think I got it.

function servercmdAddresource(%client, %resource, %amount)

and you would type /Addresource gold 5 and it would make

%client.%resource += %amount;

which would turn into

%client.gold += %amount;

and you could do stuff like /Addresource Iron 7 and such?
