Title: Understanding scripting
Post by: Thriller on Fri 18/04/2008 02:55:22
              Sorry if this isn't the right section,
        If some people and can help me understand about scripting and tell me what the scripts do because the manual really doesnt help me.

The manual DOES explain scripting, you just have to study it.  It took me a long time to understand scripts myself.  I spent a lot of time reading through the scripting section of the manual because it lists just about every script function you need to create an AGS game.  I even printed it out!  ;D

Just be patient and read thuroughly!  GL!

 Well, as far as getting started the "Scripting Tutorials" would be best (there is one in the manual and several in the forums).  After that, it depends on what you want to happen in your game as far as characters, objects, animations, etc.  If you read about each scripting function in the manual, it explains what each one does in the game (most even give you an example which really helps).

Just read the entire Scripting section of the manual.  It'll help you ALOT!

Also, read the BFAQ, especially the bit on scripting (http://americangirlscouts.org/agswiki/index.php?title=Scripting%2C_Code_%26_Interaction)
