Scripting Help

[Kunit]

My programming (like summer before 7th grade) ruined my Algebra(my school offers it early in 8th)

Same, I had an A  average before I started scripting, now I have a d.

Wow, it improved my algebra... :D

I learned around 12, did html before that. I consider myself pretty good now except for my horrible work ethic :(   It definitely helped me with algebra and logic skills which come amazingly in handy for physics. Also when we did vectors, I already knew how to use them.

Personally I don't suggest learning weapon scripting first since all that is is basically defining datablocks which doesn't reflect the whole scripting language. Back in vanilla it was suggested to make build scripts which although aren't too useful now with macros, taught more logic and actual use of functions.

Well although I did start out by weapon scripting, I was not just defining datablocks. I was messing around with onFire and onCollision quite a bit. Making projectiles spawn other projectiles, gas grenades, poison fire and ice arrows, doing more damage under certain conditions (ex; being higher up than the other player, distances), etc.

But when kids start out on a new endeavour, they wan't to be able to produce palpable results with minimal effort. Changing the color of a gun meets that need and boosts their confidence which will then encourage them to try something more audacious.

I love that word. 7th grade vocabulary.

I've never sucessfully taught anything to anyone under 16.

You've never taught anything to anyone

Yes I have. You weren't there so you cant say if I have or haven't, can you?

[Meekl]

if you haven't ever scripted,all scripts will look the exact same.
i can prove it too!once,i left 2 notepads (MSWord) side-by-side on my screen,one actionscript and one torquescript.my 11-year-old sister couldn't tell the difference.

Very similar languages, only big difference I know of is torque uses % to designate the variable.

Try putting VB and C++ side by side. I'm sure she'll see a difference.

[The Russian]

so your saying if i leanr action scip[t ill pretty much know torque script? but anyway plz someone tell me is there a special website where you can learn it or maybe somone can give me a script i can look at

[Slicksilver555]

I don't think age really matters that much in this category, I believe it mostly has to do with your comprehension of logic.

Finally you say something worth reading. This is completely true, There's a 6 year old deving a professional game. He's also taking Geometry. I say wtf, but clearly his logic comprehension is sky high.

Gawd, scripting and programming are two different things.

Even though VB has no structure, it's still a programming language.

Visual Basic Programming
Java Programming
C++ Programming
C Programming
C# Programming

TorqueScript
JavaScript(NOT Java)
