I want to start to learn a script but I don't know from where!
- Thread starter LGC admin
- Start date
um.... i think you should read RGSS for dummies.... for me, that's the greatest script i ever seen.. just find it with google.. after you understand all of the tutorial, read the default script... you will understand almost everything...!!! even i can't script, i'm still learning it ^^

You actually have to put a lot of effort into this. It's not going to click overnight. It took me about 4 months before I began scripting and 8 months before I was scripting decently. I am still learning.
I am working with a few others on making a "Where to learn to script" guide, but it's a skill. With all skills you are going to have to practice. In the last 3 years, I have probably scripted on average, 2 hours a day. A lot less than what it used to be when I would script for 6 hours in a night. You are going to have to put effort into it.
A quick list.
~ Reading Ruby documentation
~ Reading default scripts
~ Reading help file under RGSS components
~ Reading other peoples scripts
~ Reading resolve help topics
~ Reading scripting tutorials
If you haven't noticed, you are going to be reading a lot.

4 months? thats takes many time...., but i will try ^^
@LGC Admin... it takes process to learn, you can't just read rgss tutorial and knows everything.. read that all first before you said you can't... ^_^ (even it's only 9 mintues after i give the link and you just surrender? T.T don't be lazy)
@seph... after reading rgss for dummies, i know how at least 50% how the default script work...
but, i didn't know where to start scripting >.<

If you understand how 50% of the default scripts work after 1 tutorial, wow. lol
It's not so much a process of learning everything. It's learning everything a little bit at a time and figuring out how things work. I scripted for months before I bothered looking into the Game_Battler and Scene_Battle classes just because I never needed to. You have to figure out what elements of a system you want to script. Plan out everything you are going to need. Take it slow and think of as many things as possible. If you give me a semi-simple example of a system you would like to script and have no clue where to begin, share. I can walk you through the process of planning everything out and beginning work on it.
