Author Topic: Scripting tutorials?  (Read 1318 times)

« on: December 30, 2009, 08:27:50 PM »
I've look at some of the scripts in 3d rad, and I absolutely don't understand it. Are there any good scripting tutorials for 3d rad out there?

I supose it depends on what you want to achieve. for one don't be afraid of it, it's not that complicated...
you have objects...(resources...skinmesh's,rigiid bodies etc..)

and they all have inputs and outputs which are usually just values that effect certain data.

and script provide a way to interact or shape/control the way these values behave..

you have an initialization section which dictates what happens on load. the rest is the run loop (main) while the game is running.
and there is a deinitialization secion for exiting the game.

I understand without any knowledge of codeing at all it can seem ominous but it's really just a place you can set a bunch of math model decision statements. like if this happens to do this. it is a huge topic but if you need a specific thing to understand just post it. and I'm sure an description of what you need to attain will emerge, but it's not really rocket science so dismiss the myth of needing to be a genius to code imediately. if you undserstand common logic you will be able to grasp the fundemantels of code aswell. it's just hidden under a different language of script.

I am a little enebriated and about to fully celebrate new year and all but that some sort of an answer anyway :) happy new year! so if there is anything you want to know specifically just ask and it will be answered eventually. the only way to learn is to dive into the deep end though :). well that worked for me anyway :)
