Scripting best approach?

#1 Please if this was answered already please say. I don't want to see like i am repeating question that has been asked already.

Thank you

#2 Hey Sean. The classic route, reading through the official documentation (posted at the bottom of this reply) and available books is almost a sure fire way. Granted, some people learn differently. However, when it comes to programming you are going to end up reading a lot and coding a lot.

The method I used to learn programming allowed me to pick up TorqueScript quickly:

Quote:Read. Read Code. Code

Start by reading through the books, through the documentation, and through the forums. Next, read the code that is available to you in the free resources, sample games (starter.fps is great), and simple tutorials. Finally, try coding. Start with simple stuff, like basic syntax practice creating for loops, print outs, etc.

You can then try and move on to integrating other coders' resources. Again, aim for something simple. After you feel comfortable with the low level stuff, start working your way up the resource ladder or developing your own modules.

Let me know if you have some questions, as this is a difficult question to answer when it is posed in such a broad manner.

#3 Thank you michael, i appreciate the advice and i will follow through on it. I will post any questions that arise here. Is this ok?

Thanks again

Sean

#4 Scripting is typically discussed in the public forum. If your new questions are specific, such as "How to access client variables in script", create a new thread in the public area.

If the question is similar to this thread, you can post in here again. Ultimately it's up to you though =)

#5 @Sean

If you'd like, we can trade. I'll write your code, you make my art. That's a sweet deal if I may say so myself :)

#6 Thank you Michael for telling me the best to ask questions, i will do that. William that sounds like a sweet deal alright. I am all for it. What do you need art wise?

#7 You're spamming my inbox with GG Notify! I'll return the favor and send you an email with what I'm looking for. :)

#8 Sorry, i turned it off

#9 Sorry i dont know why that posted the same thing three times. I didnt press it three times.

#10 William i will have to refuse your offer, i am sorry for the misdirection with my answer it just i think it would more beneficial for me to learn myself. It is mainly because i have enough projects to work on (3d art) and have very little time to spare. I hope you understand. Cheers. Sean

#11 Yea, np bud. If you need code examples, shoot me an email :)

#12 Thank you i will keep that in mind
