corey1996 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 How did you guys learn how to make scripts and how would an absolute beginner even begin learning to make scripts? Something I want to get into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imthabawse Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) Study basic java and check out @Apaec and @Explv's tutorials. This will give a good idea on where to start. Best of luck!

Chris Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Learn Java, Git(Only if you want scripts on the SDN), & how to read Java Documentation. Until then don't event attempt writing scripts because it will just be crafted poorly. I recommend Derek banas, or Head First Java book for Java tutorials. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not gonna plug yourself? @corey1996 Watch his tutorials! Followed lesson 0 and lesson 1, then started scripting my own stuff. I had literally no coding/scripting experience before that. You'll learn more as you make more scripts. Also, reference his other 2 tutorials while you're making your own projects. But definitely follow along and build the same script alongside Chris in Lesson 1. Chris's Tutorials Spoiler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_MilkysButler Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 +1 to Chris's tutorials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsBakedAsCake Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Learned everything I know 100% from video tutorials & open source projects. It's definitely possible to learn without any previous experience, (I had NONE when I started.) I never understood why people say you NEED previous experience. Now obviously, in the beginning if you're just learning from videos/open source scripts your code will not be the best to start. However as long as you stick with it - over time you should naturally start to pick up better practices & improve your code. At least this is how it went for me. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corey1996 Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 Yeah I have no experience at all but it’s something I want to get into, by the looks of things it’s just gunna be a trial and error thing until things start sticking in my head. I guess I can always come back here if I get stuck and need some help, always people around to help which is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
