Where can I find stuff about the basics of scripting? Created 3 years ago2021-05-21 05:54:32 UTC by VaRloL

Though I have some level of experience with mapping and all of that it never came to my mind the idea of scripting, always thought "that's way too much for me" (I was mostly used to CS mapping).

Recently I have been working with a friend on a new mod and it has come to me needing to learn scripting stuff, thank you.

If you're talking about writing custom game code, then the wiki here contains a guide that looks pretty comprehensive: Half-Life Programming: Getting Started. What exactly do you want to achieve?

I also started out as a mapper, years ago. I eventually started experimenting with the game code and I somehow managed to make the MP5 launch a grenade with each shot, but I couldn't really do much else. Now, years later, I do programming for a living... So yeah, give it a go, and don't get discouraged if things seem complicated at first. Feel free to ask for help whenever you're stuck.
