First impression is incredible. hope this helps me a long way!

(Video series was hard to find on youtube. found it on the forums. seems legit n' awesome)

Never read or looked at a tutorial, just jumped right in and understood most of the map editor. I guess it helps that I know somewhat of Unreal Ed.

Donno if it helps, but read up on some tutorials for Unreal Ed.

Is it weird that I took notes on your "basic scripting" tutorial?

And I kinda got lost a bit when you were explaining the "for" loop... I'm not sure what symbols like: ?, ::, ++, and . represent. They weren't really explained. Is there somewhere that explains simple things like such?

I was hoping the person watching would catch on to the keywords and do independent research. Researching PHP or C++ would provide you with practical information that you can take into AngelScript. Here's a quick run-through.

Ternary operator:

PHP Code: (Select All)

(condition) ? if_condition_is_true_value : if_condition_is_false_value ;

// Example:
int x = (true) ? 0 : 1;
// x is now 0
x = (false) ? 0 : 1;
// x is now 1 


Increment operator:

PHP Code: (Select All)

int i = 0;
++i; // i is now 1

int x = i++;
// x is now 1
// i is now 2

x = ++i;
// x is now 3
// i is now 3 


For (loop) statement:

PHP Code: (Select All)

/**
 *   First expression can be any kind of expression,
 *     but it is practically used for variable declarations.
 *
 *   Second expression is used to check if the loop should continue,
 *     therefore an expression that would return true or false is required.
 *
 *   Third expression can be any kind of expression,
 *     but it is practically used for incrementing.
 */
for (first expression ; second expression ; third expression)
// note each expression is delimited by a semi-colon
{
    // for statement body
    // Gets executed if second expression evaluates to true
}

I apologize for asking... I really do like to learn on my own and study other scripts and such... I understand SOME, but things such as the symbols were confusing me. I do appreciate you taking time to help, I know it must be frustrating having people ask stupid questions like that...

If it helps to know, I DID do some research in my digital imaging class (whoops) and lead myself to the original angelscript website, but I could only understand so much..

Anyway, Thank you, I'll try to experiment and compare other scripts, such as Palistov's, as doing so has lead me to what I know so far.
