Hello,

I am a beginner scripter, for making mods, not maps. Does anyone have a tutorial for scripting mods that I could follow? I am new and I would like to start out with something easy.

Again - Please no map scripting, just mods!

Scripting is based very much on hands-on learning; its not something you jump into overnight. I recommend playing around with maps and doing different things with scripts for those maps, such as random artery strikes, planes overhead, etc.

There is my problem. I don't know how to script. How do I begin? Where do I begin? What is the script? How do I put the script in? These are very hard questions which I ponder on.

Download the mod tools... look at some stock scripts in the various .gsc files and try to understand how they work. Basically you learn as you go. Once you understand how different functions or threads work..it'll become clearer.

I'll try what insane said, but again, I want modding scripts, not mapping scripts because my fast file builder does not work.

Scripts are scripts. Just take a look at the stock ones. Good luck

Everyone needs to start somewhere. And mapping is easier than modding, to some extent. Start small and work your way up. Try to script for maps and then script for mods. Some scripts should be similar. Since you are a beginner and don't know how to script, script for maps first like I mentioned. If you can't map, you can't mod. You can try to fix your build fast file tool. There is nothing else I can say. You gotta know your stuff in mapping so you can mod. You gotta know your vehicles, your AI, your level, etc before knowing how to mod. You can't just jump in and decide to mod, say, a vehicle, without knowing the basics. If you want to mod MP, you gotta know your mp script, so you gotta learn the scripts for MP maps and MP functions.

Long story short. Map first, then mod.

The last 2 words that insane said, which was

thanks, I'll need it. I think I am a fairly good mapper but just not a good scripter. I followed tutorials for doors exactly, and I still got nothing. I don't even know how many times I've tried. But I will keep trying and hopefully learn some scripting by looking at stock gsc files.

The key thing is to focus and think real hard about the code. Think about how the code functions and what it does. Try to understand. lol So many times I don't focus and I ended up having problems. And I am . After I understood and focus real hard, I get the codes and now, everything works. So you should try it. Coding is just like everything else, you gotta focus.

Here is also a good page...dont let it confuse you...just read it carefully.
