SRL Archive - Who Are You ? Who ? Who ?

Hey, everyone. As the title (and post count..) says, I'm a newby to this site. In all honesty, I don't bot on my main, but my life long goal is to be a programmer, so what better place to start right? :)

I'm a pretty fast learner, so just point me in the right direction and away I go. However, I do appreciate detailed explanations on how and WHY things work. Just saves time and frustration, ya know? ;)

Anyway.. I've only done a few things with scripting; Game Maker, mostly. Clearly not the same language, but it's still basic if, then, else. I'm currently looking through the Newbie Guides to see how this language works and hopefully be on my way to scripting. :thumbsup:

Welcome to the community! :)

You'll find the most basic tutorials easily, and if you want, you can check out YoHoJo's video tutorial(s?).

Welcome to SRL, hope you have a good time here :)

Tutorial island is the best place to start off, mate :) Give things a bit of a crack, post in a thread if there's something you want clarified and once you get going feel free to post in the help section and there's countless, very talented scripters who are always willing to help :)

Best of luck!

Wow, impressed with the fast replies! :)
Typically, communities take days to welcome new members. Glad to see this community breaks that trend. :D

Thanks, Frement; I'll definitely be sure to check out video tutorials.

EDIT
I've looked through a few of them, just which one to pick! Definitely a wide selection.

Both of these are really good for getting the general gist of how things work

Welcome! The way everything is setup here, scripting is pretty logical and easy to pick up! I recommend reading through some tutorials and looking over other peoples scripts and play with modifying them - that helped me a ton when I first started out!

Welcome to SRL :)

Even though you have a link to the Tutorials section thought I'd give you a lowdown.
Also, I'm just gonna use the guides that I used, no offence to others who may have created better guides.


First, you want to learn about the scripting statements in Simba:

Then you want to apply that knowledge and find out how to find colours:

Once you've grabbed the basics, it's a good idea to read up on standards:

In Runescape, you move around a lot, so use this to deal with that:

Now learn about DTM's, vital for scripting in RS:

You want to walk in your scripts don't you? Use this:

Another vital thing you should know - Implementing Antibans:

There are more advanced tutorials I can link you to, but you should cover these first to get familiar with the language and hopefully create your own script.

Once that first script gets under your belt, everything's a lot easier trust me :)

Definitely logical. Once everything's broken down, it's easy to learn a scripting language. That's what I did with Game Maker to get started, also. It helps a lot being able to see what does what and having comments added to each line of coding.

All started as a young pupil as you ;) Although good luck Mate, and you will catch on easily! Welcome to SRL!

Welcome man. Most people have already suggested some good reads for you, also have a look at this thread: http://villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=77470.

It's a little more harsh than some, but a good one none the less. Again welcome and enjoy your time here. :)

I like the idea that you are already wanting to learn to script, that's a great attitude to have.

Welcome,

scripting is easy to learn as you put a lil time and effort into it.

Also if you need any help (scripting wise) be sure to post your problem in the scripting help section!

Welcome, I bet you will have fun getting your functions together.

Welcome. ;)

You're off to a better start then I was when I first came here. :O

Thanks for all the welcomes and support.

Making some good progress on the basics, considering I knew nothing when I came here. :)

I may as well get a late welcome in here :)

Listen if you need any help feel free to ask and I'll try and direct you as much as possible :)

Welcome :D
