| | #REDIRECT [[A to Z Scripting]] |
| | |
| This is a (work in progress) resource written primarily for mappers with no background in scripting or coding, though also more experienced scripters may find practical guidance in adapting to TDM's scripting system. This is the large majority of what I've picked up over the years through experimentation, looking at existing scripts and interacting with other forum members.
| |
| | |
| My aim is for the tutorial to be both comprehensive and down to earth, using many examples and avoiding unnecessary technical terms. There will be some overlap with existing wiki articles, since this aims to have everything in one place out of one hand.
| |
| | |
| The concept will be to start with teaching some basic script literacy, then introduce scripting principles one after another. Towards the end, practical examples
