Hey guys I wanna start scripting but I'm curious to know how long it takes for one to actually be fairly proficient at it (I don't have that much outside time). Thanks.

PS: I SUCK at math.

Well, define fairly efficient.

One can always keep learning.

If you count 'fairly efficient' as being able to create your own fairly complex working script I would say around 3-4 weeks… If you stick to it :)
This of course differs for everyone and also depends on how much time you have each day to work on it.

I suck at maths too. :) You don't really need anything but to know decimals and under at least. But there are methods in Simba that does the maths for you.

3 months I guess? If you don't have much time I bet you need more.

Wrong section. This section is for Tuts only. Moved.

If i practiced 2-3hrs week?

Again, it depends on the person. Each person has a different ability for scripting/programming. It's not all that hard, just some concepts can be. A couple of weeks and you can create a working script. Hell, i borrowed some code, modified it a little, added in some SPS and wrote very simple functions and i "wrote" a VE iron miner in under an hour. You could easily do this, see what each thing does, learn a bit more, then keep updating the script/writing new ones with the skills you picked up. You are constantly learning.
