There are so many scripting updates we need...
1. GETRANK METHOD! *RAIG* COME ON! ITS BEEN AGES! ALL CLAN LEADERS WOULD LOVE IT! 2. Fix rocketpropulsion. It's not 100% scripting, but you need to be able to script to use it. 3. I got countless problems with the MoveTo method in the Humanoid object while making my robots. I found ways around it with math - but we shouldn't have to do that! 4. Make it so that with the place teleportation, you can make the teleporting players go to a specific team. When I first tried to use it, I realised that they could only go to either neutral spawns or the spawns of the team they spawned as. I wanted to make sort of... teleport pads, so that only teleporters teleported to specfic spawns... It didn't work. 5. Output text is often misleading, or atleast to begginer debuggers. I now know how to use it correctly, but they often come out talking about the wrong things. I think I saw a spelling mistake once, so it would be good to have this fixed.
List any more you can think of. |

No, but to be serious I would just not worry about it. I've gone through the whole "we don't get enough updates thing" and it didn't end well.

You should be able to put in the script, for example, "Make car move."
And then the admins would check the script and make it do that.
I'm a horrible scripter. It's confusing to me and many other people. |

It's only confusing if you THINK it's hard.
I think the reason I'm a fast learner is because I think about stuff enough to understand it. If you don't understand scripting - try to think of it this way.
If you can learn a speaking language like english, you can learn lua. It has sort of like rules - like language. It has specific syntaxes (Like words).
No, you can't learn it all in day. I started in 2009! It's been 2 and 1/4 years since I started - I'm quite good, I have expirience - but I'm not the best. If you REALLY try, you'll find it's quite cool and easy. I can type about 500 lines of script and get barely any errors. Try and you'll be like that one day. |

Anyone can be a scripter. Anyone can be a guitarist. But the question is, is your music good? Are your scripts efficient?
Scripting is easy, all you gotta do is learn syntax. The problem is, not everyone who wants to script is a logical thinker. |

You must solve problems.
Trust me, I know the types of advanced problems. Programming is pretty much 95% math. I have a yellow note book and today, I was writing equations in it for scripting. Took up 3 full pages. |

Don't fall for the trick that "good" scripters create efficient scripts. |

They were things like multiplying 2000 by itself then by pi. Using just a piece of paper alone.
It was easy :-P |

Multiplying anything by 1 or 2 is easy. Multiplying by numbers like 10, 100, and 1000 are even easier.
Mix the two, and you got a recipe for madness.

Yep.
30000 * 2 = 60000.
I was multiplying 4000000 by 3.1415926535898 to as many digits as I could as long as there were no decimals. (Yes, I remembered pi to that many places. I get called a genius a lot and it sorts of gets on my nerves :-/) |

Learn pi to 314 digits, and you become a pi-thlete. No really, try to learn Pi to 314 digits for pi day.
Pi day is on the 14/03/2012, which is the 14th of March 2012. |

That's the point... If you could teleport to any spawn even though you couldn't get there by entering normally, then you could cheat.
What if I decided to teleport to the winners spawn of an obby?

So you use your computer while being on your bed...? |

More on clan methods: IsEnemy(clanId) --Is this player an enemy of this clan? IsAlly(clanId) --Same, but with allies
Other things: -PartGui: Have a gui display on a face of a part
