So after looking over a few scripts in my scriptbank, I pretty much figured it all out, including the layout and how things work, I probably couldn't make my own script without a reference, but is it really that easy? I see all these tutorials and I cant learn crap from them, I learned more in a hour of going through scripts and playing around with them that I ever did reading books etc. is that normal? The only luck I had was learning a minor ammount of java a few years back. is Lua one of the easiest to learn? or can someone link me to a great Lua tutorial that doesn't go into super detail? one that is interactive as well. (seeing as I learn more from testing and tweaking than I do reading) Also one that the whole first 5 chapters DONT revolve around telling me how to say hello world LOL

i agree, i'm no coder, having only used dbpro for a week or so years ago to try out some really basic stuff (hello world type stuff probably covers it ) but i've just learned everything (as u say -) from looking at scripts and asking for help here when needed - it really is a very basic system but you can still do a lot with the right ideas, a really good script is something like the door script from the wiki (because it shows you some good examples of how to effectively give more custom control to the user or the hunger thirst script which AuShadow did as he put a lot of comments in there to explain it in detail
and dont forget to look at the global.lua and try out the different commands, right now these are the most important commands as they are the one's that work (and work easily)

Take a look at my modelling tutorials.

Modelling is easy once you get the basics sorted.

Cheers

I'm certainly not a great coder, but I am familiar with several languages and get the gist of it. An expert coder would surely call any code I write sloppy, inefficient, etc., but I'm of the feeling that if it works and doesn't suck up resources, then it's fine. Having said that, I too feel I have learned much more just by studying others' code than through books/tutorials. I'm not knocking all tutorials, but most just seem to not get the point across in their writing or simply lose the reader's interest. Modeling tutorials, on the other hand, are great, especially with video being so common. I'm no artist but have learned tons about Blender on YouTube these past several months. They have really taken a lot of the mystery out of that program for me. Unfamilia's tutorials are fantastic and there are many others on the Tube.
