I don't wanna go lower in skill then I am now.
I don't think you want to go lower in spelling THEN you are now, either.
As regards to scripting, I'm not very good with Torque, I only started about 3 weeks ago, but I am pretty much fluent in both the Java and Python programming languages.
The thing is to just check out all the files and existing scripts, and you start to get a feel for the theory, and way things are written down.
After that, just start editing variables and the like, and see what changes occur, and if you like them. Then start to see if you can create new triggers, which is slightly harder.
After a while you will just know basic Torque, how it is written, and what sort of things you can do with it etc.
Hope that helped, and you should be a skilled scipter in no time!
