Couple of hints/ideas -
No edit in Help, so coming soon may be difficult.
You may want to include an introduction or something. Something along the lines of "So, you have seen all these cool things happening in Blockland, and you dont know how they are happening? Words like "eventing" or "events" thrown around, and no idea what they are? Or do you want to just improve your general knowledge of eventing, and move onto more complicated designs? If any of these are yes, you have come to the right place!"
Lol, corny text is corny, but yeah you get the idea.
And for total beginners I didnt read a bit describing like the screen you see, which may be useful - Eg A pic with "Input" "Parameters" "Output" and like explaining what each of these are, and the standard conventions for things under each of these - Input is what triggers the brick, and generally they will be "On....."
Writing a little bit up on the ZoneEvents may help people, as a lot more can be done with them than just Zone Bricks.
Pictures are a nice break from text, you could use a picture to demonstrate things - Eg. A picture to demonstrate the spawnProjectile co-ordinate ideas.
Altogether a really nice guide, and I hope you get the chance to finish it. I think this will help a lot of people and I hope it does :)
Deathwishez:
Thanks. :) I'll add some pictures. I plan to add onBotEvents, but I shall learn how to use Zone Events. I'll add another paragraph to explain Input, Output, etc. I like the picture idea. I'll tackle that over winter break.
Also, I might post this else where on the forums due to not being able to change it. The most recent version will always be found on the SS forums.

Hot to event something where you have to click it 10 times and it adds 1 point.
Example: You need 1 iron, you click on that iron 10 times and it adds i iron point
how to do that.
