Hey guys I've just landed a minor programming job which hopefully ill be able to progress with more over the next few years, but I've always been interested in writing a rs script. I'm wondering how much programming do you guys do outside of rs scripting. I'm trying to find out how long it should take for me to learn before making time to write a rs script effectively 

depends on how fast you learn.

You should most likely just look at the API, most of the work involved is done for you by the API. Using a few methods correctly can make an effective script for any simple task.

It depends.

If you don't know Java, you should spend some time learning it first.

If you know Java well, then it is not a particularly long process to learn how to write scripts. There are tonnes of tutorials and snippets you can look at. And the API is fairly straight forward.

It all depends really on your general programming and Java knowledge.

sorry rank 2 scripter liam

Without basic java knowledge: long

with basic java: basic gathering script should take less than an hour.

if you don't know basic java, learn that first otherwise it's like trying to write a sentence without knowing any words.
