I have the building aspect in the bag but the one thing holding me back is scripting!

Why is it so hard to learn?

Is there any easier way and/or tips that will help me learn scripting?

Scripting is a logical language.

It's unique from contemporary languages because it only contains commands and is based inside of itself.

If you're learning to program after you're 7, and haven't been exposed to C source code at that time, you have A LOT OF WORK TO DO.

Scripting is hard because it is a logical language, that's why.
All programming languages are like that.

I feel exactly the same as OP.

For the sake of simplicity, programming will likely be replaced by something eaiser to use in the future and become completely obsolete.

It took me a serveral months to figure out how to script, it is not that hard. Just a matter of knowing functions.

I'm glad you guys understand, I also agree it's like learning a second language.
I will look into function, thanks! :)

> Because french is completely illogical.

Scripting is not hard to learn if you are patient. It takes more than a single year to code correctly.

I learned 25% of what I know from free models,damn right,I used free models and they helped me learn,so what?
The other 75% I used the wiki and the wiki is really helpful,so I suggest having a look at that

Why is scripting so easy and building is so hard?

Because they are two totally different skills.

Easiest way is to dissect free models. Mess with values, functions, anything you don't know.

But then when it comes down to writing your own game, from scratch, it's difficult.

Yes, but the free models will teach you the basic syntax. Another thing to look up are tables. They are incredibly useful.

No it's not.
It's not the scripting that's difficult hehe

You're just bad at breaking your game down, and I blame it on being lazy. You'll be angry and go "Oh no I'm not lazy what are you on ugh why do you say that?!" but the fact is, you can't script because you are lazy and nothing much else to it.

I agree I can be lazy, but it doesn't all go around the fact of being lazy.
It's if someone can pick up on the basics, memory is my weak side.
