Hi all!

I would like to start learning how to script in C++ so i can start making my own scripts for RF. How did everybody here learn? Is there anybody here who might be able to teach me some elements of using C++? Any online lessons, tutorials, etc?

Cheers and thanks!

the language is not C++. its simkin. you can learn it from dan valeo's ebook or looking at the scripts, experimenting, etc.

oh, I thought it was C++

Thanks!

I learned it simply by starting to write my own AI. I think that's the best way. Study the manual, the e-book and existing scripts, and most of all, practise writing scripts. You ain't gonna learn anything by reading stuff only.

You should also start with the easy stuff (obviously) and move on to the more advanced stuff gradually. Like:
1.) Write a script that makes a pawn stand still and play the idle animation
2.) Make the pawn walk along a scriptpoint path
3.) Make it die when damaged
etc...

I haven't been online much lately, but I could probably try to teach some of the basics. Try to learn it on your own first, and if you really don't seem to get it just post here and we'll be happy to help.

Thanks for all the advice!

I find the best way is to try to write a script while referring to the other scripts tO see how its done.
Don't be afraid to make misteaks. On the contray, change the text so that one part doesn't work and see the effect.
Doing this, you'll remember Scripting far faster!!!
