Well as my signature says, I'm trying to make some tutorials to encourage people to script better and more thoroughly. I need some idea's on what you think we need tutorials on. There could already be a tutorial on this and you think there just needs to be a better one, or it could not have been made yet.

PS. This would be for scripting knowledge only. I don't want to do how to setup players , etc.

You could do one about how to *insertthewordthatmeansmakefasterhere* a script.

the biggest problem that i had when i wanted to learn to script was "half assed tutorials"

i think many people who have little to no prior programming knowledge need things spelled out a lil better than those who already know java and c++

so whatever you do make sure you make it n00b-programming friendly :D

id say a really indepth tut on failsafes would be a good one to have around

I'm making one on map walking right now… its pretty long and detailed so you might not want to make one on that. :)

Hmm…. tuts that I need (I mean the community needs :p)… How about one on autocolouring. I've seen some tuts but not many that are really helpful.

Object finding using FindColorSpiralTolerance, and then FindColorSpiralTolerance within a 20px box around that, then checking uptext etc.. I don't even really know how to do that :O

Something like


if (FindColorSpiralTolerance(x, y, Colour, MSX1, MSY1, MSX2, MSY2, 10)) then
if (FindColorSpiralTolerance(Sx, Sy, Colour, x - 20, y -20, x + 20, y + 20, 10)) then
begin
MMouse(Sx, Sy, 0, 0, True);
if (IsUpText('asdfa')) then Writeln('asdfasdf');
end;

? :p

The 101 Autocoloring isn't the best way I think, I mean usage of arrays, skip them etc, it gets me condusig to be very honestly, can someone explain them in very detail plz? I would really appreciate that:)

If its confusing, it means he should have written it in the first place. Go understand it.
