Basic NO PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE TUTORIALS

[pooper200000]

Are there any basic tutorials for learning GS2? When I say basic I mean have absolutely NO previous knowledge of GS2 at all. I have found no tutorials on the wiki/this forum/ sklyds(Well his site doesn't work) that explain the basics. Does anyone know any tutorial that may help with the very very basics?

Yeah Supernanny and I were talking on Zone about this and we seriously need to know THE VERY BASICS of GS2. That's how much we know: NADA TING!

The basics of GS2 can be learned on either of the wikis! They require no previous knowledge! If you know GS1, that will help. If you don't, maybe you want to learn the basics in GS1, then come back to the tutorial. I strongly suggest you take a class on Java or C++, it will clear this up for you a lot!

Unfortunately the VIP hosting is down at the moment, and so is my GScript Wiki. I'll see if I can get it fixed.

Yeah I know, I am a regular user of your wiki. Was getting ready to contribute more functions but it was down.

No, I mean, C++ Takes a LONG time, so I hear. We mean ABSOLUTELY NO SCRIPTING KNOWLEGE!

I've let Stefan know about it being down, he'll see if unixmad can look at it tomorrow.

I've asked you which ones you thought were good because Ive tryed 3 and none of them have helped me I still don't understand it a bit. Could someone post some of the most basic Explanatory ones because I am having a great deal of difficulty finding them if they are there. O and on the classes note what type of classes?

Basically he means:
Don't expect us to know ANYTHING! Instead, expect us to know NOTHING. No commands, nada, zip.

I found one that -SORTA- works... just gets you a bit started...
http://wiki.graal.net/index.php/Crea...e#Introduction

[killerogue]

PHP Code:

function onCreated()
{
  player.chat = "Stuff.";
} 


If you can't even figure that out, you haven't even attempted to learn anything on your own.

I guess Im stupid. I spent 3 hours trying to figure it out and am still lost...

I started writing http://wiki.graal.net/index.php/Crea...pt_for_Dummies ages ago, however I did not ever finish it.

Just because people don't grasp it as easy as others doesn't mean they haven't tried. Some people can't learn by dissecting a script and understanding it like others. Sometimes they have to be explained things on a simple level. Sometimes they have no knowledge of how scripting/coding works. How are they supposed to know to make sure to enclose each function/if in parenthesis unless they've been taught that. How about knowing to enclose strings in quotes, or even what a string is. Or that each command has to be ended with a semi-colon?
These things just aren't 'grasped' by seeing things for everyone, sometimes they have to be explained, and to be honest, the wiki seems a little bit hard to browse, especially if you don't know what you're really looking for.

I guess the problem is...as it the same with me that we don't need the basic info on it but just how to apply certain things.

Forexample:

NPC Code:

---

abs(float)

arctan(float) - arcus tangens

char(ascii) - gets the character for an ascii code (char(65) returns 'A')

cos(angle) - cosinus of a radiant angle

exp(float)

float(string) - for explicitely converting a string 

  to number (normally done automatically though

  when accessing a string with numeric operators)

format(format,parameters,...) - formats a "%s %d" string, 

  inserts the parameters, and returns a string

getangle(delta x,delta y)

getdir(delta x,delta y) - returns 0 for up, 1 for left, 

  2 for down, 3 for right

int(a) - gets the integer part of a floating point number

log(base,a)

max(a,b)

min(a,b)

printf(format,parameters,...) - same as 

  echo(format(format,parameters,...))

random(rangestart,rangeend)

sin(angle) - sinus of a radiant angle

sleep(time) - suspends the current script for some time

vecx(direction 0..3)

vecy(direction 0..3)

waitfor(objectname,event[,timeout]) - suspends the current script

---

all that yea sure it tells me what it is but how do i apply that to make it work in a script. Some things in there i understand like the obvious ones. The only other language i know is Visual Basics so im not use to programming an object oriented langauge.

Like what am i going to use arctan(float) for? stuff like that is confussing to people.
