Learning the scripting

[MaGicBush]

I am familiar with programming in Java(very basic only modded Minecraft some), Basic, GM, and DM as I made games using those. I just found out this game uses C++ for the scripting language(I was thinking for some reason it used Java in my last post). Is Angelscript something where I would actually need to learn C++? I tried to learn that at one point by self-teaching and it was very hard for me to understand so I didn't get anywhere with C++ and to go further I would probably have to take a class which I do plan to do down the line as an elective for my networking degree but that's over a year from now. I would like to work on a custom story I have in mind but I am hoping the scripting is not as hard as it seems. Looking over some of the scripts I don't understand how the arguments work at all, but I do understand the syntax used and basics like loops, variables, and if statements. Though I am confused what the "Void" is in front of a lot of lines, and some other things as well. Is there a good starting point for me with the knowledge I have to Amnesia scripting someone could point me to? I have no interest in learning C++ at the moment as I would just like to spend a few days learning, but since this just seems to use functions I don't believe I need to really though I could be wrong. Thanks for any direction or help on the matter!
