Going a little deeper

I just noticed that I got ALOT off free time and I was thinking "how about learning some Angelscript...it would be awesome to go a little more advanced when it comes to scripting in Amnesia" and I found this site

http://www.angelcode.com/angelscript/sdk...cript.html
Is it worth reading?

I know that FG made some custom commands for Amnesia but I realy wanna go a little more advanced like Variables and that stuff that will make scripting alot easier and better to use.

RE: Going a little deeper

I suggest learning how to use C++, for Angelscript is almost like it.

I remember that I learned how to script for Amnesia, but then I stopped for a while and learned how to do some nice C++. I came back and now I know tons more than I would. I actually prefer early scripters to go learn some C++ and come back and take scripting for Amnesia to a whole new level.

Also, I prefer to use Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express for the compiler (where you'll script) when scripting C++. If you try it, good luck! Smile

For me to learn how to use C++, I listened to this guy's video tutorials on it.

Sorry about that, I decided to update my post above. Smile

When I refer to "some C++", I mean that you will learn the backbones of Angelscript and about variables and also how to transfer local data/variables through the script, from function to function.

RE: Going a little deeper

One big tip: Don't learn a language you are nt going ot use. You never get to learn any language decently if you do not train hard and develop everything there is to develop in it. So, unless you want to learn C++, which is quite complex, you should check that website if you are interested in learning more. From what I've seen that website has everything you need to know, pointers, data structures and so on. So don't go around learning other languages when you don't even understand one. And from amnesia scripting to understanding a language is a very big distance-
And more, if you learn a language well enough, then it will be twice as easy to understand another one, but if you don't have any stable basis of knowledge, you'll always be limited.

Today I dreamt the life I could live forever. You only know that when you feel it for you know not what you like until you've experienced it.

From how you put that, I feel like I know too many languages. o.O

Nevermind, as i see your update/edit to your post. Tongue

RE: Going a little deeper

huh? My edit was:

"My advice is don't go around" -> Replacewith -> "So don't go around"
