Honestly, the best way I've found to learn a programming language isn't thru tutorials, classes, or other people. It is to sit down, pick something simple, and try it. If you run into a problem, then you should do the following, in this order:

1. Check the Help file for anything that might help. (It's amazing how much is in there if you know where to look)
2. Search the forum. If you're having a problem, someone else may have as well.
3. Google it. Beware, you'll probably get a lot of rendom results, including a lot of stuff about Pokemon.
4. Post a question here. If you don't shoot everyone down, the'yll be pretty helpful.

I would recommend that, starting out, you try simple modifications of existing scripts, like changing around some variables, and see how they work. Then expand on it. One of the best ways to learn is by having those "I wonder if I can..." moments, and trying it out. Build on you knowledge, instead of starting from scrarch. You don't need to know everything, as long as you know where to find what you need. The first script I tried making from scratch was a thunderstorm, but that can be complex. (I ended up building and releasing a timer script before I finished it, because a thunderstorm requires a timer, and there is no default scripted timer in RMXP or RMVX)

thanks

You're welcome. I hope you don't get burned out at the beginning. The world could always use more scripters.

Really, just come with a simple idea, and try it. It doesn't have to be big. I mean, you could do something as simple as making a short series of flashes on screen, or something to that effect. Just to break the ice. (And to find out how to do that, start in the interpreter script that comes default with RMVX)

I dont get what you mean

start in the interpreter script that comes default with RMVX

In the script editor, there should be a script called Interpreter. It's the one you'd have to look in for information if you wanted to try that suggestion for a simple script that I made.

ok sure.  so in the interpreter script u made a script? thats interesting...

I was telling you to look in the interpreter script because that controls events, which have a command where you can flash the screen. That way, you can see how the script makes the screen flash, and you can try making it flash on your own.
