Yes, but still, learning by example is a terrible way to learn, it promotes conformity, where all scripters do things exactly the same, and originality begins to die, scripting things your own way promotes creativity, and allows for customization, and possibly improvements. All complex scripting is best learnt by oneself, where you can stand out amongst a crowd, and create innovations.

Anyways, If one is going to learn from another person, it best learnt by gradual scripting, than just handing a script and having them duplicate it 100 times.

if i am going to teach someone something complex, i usually gradually script it with them, explaining why I am adding each command, and stopping if they aren't understanding something, this is the problem with teaching someone scripting, is this long complex stringed-out script, that comes off as gibberish until you analyze it piece-by-piece

So anyways, This is my second long-post per thread, so any post I make on this thread i assure you will be one sentence or less
