The real way to begin - p00jan - 05.01.2011
Hello, I hope that this thread will be the last thread regarding this matter and will help not only me but others too. I want to know the simplest to the most advanced way to start learning how to script and to make script. I tried wiki but it is hard and I lost at some part of the tutorial at the scripting section. So is there any simpler and fully-covered way to start coding?
If you have experience, then post it here.

I still reckon that the best way is to open a new script and use the wiki along with these forums for help.
It's damn hard at first but once you make stuff work it will get easier and you will be more confident.
Good Luck
ps. The wiki is really easy to follow, maybe your going too fast. Alot of people have made the wiki an amazing place for information and it's all easy to follow if you have determination

Yeah, everything what BMUK say'd it's true. And I've got only something to add: If you start without an main idea and you have no idea what you want to create, you won't even be able to code that script for a week.
So it's the best to have an a main idea what you want to create and you'll see that everything is easier.
Trust me, I made that mistake one time, so I'm talking from my experience.

Thanks, now I should know, should I read the pawno pdf file first? I mean has that thing ever been done by you people?

The best way to learn scripting is, download a gamemode, take a look at it, slowly, understand that script, and then, try to make a new script!

Well, pawn.pdf is something what would I suggest more than editing some other scripts like some people do (if I offended someone please understand that this is only a example).
But, I can't tell what would be good for you 'cause not everyone can learn the same way.
So it varies from person to person. And yeah pawn.pdf is a great "document" that will get you learn all about pawno and what you can and can't do. Keep in mind that you won't really learn doing scripts after reading it, this is only a basics about program.
But, if you are a newbie I wouldn't suggest it 'cause it's very complicated if you never done scripting before.
Hope this helps, peace.

I agree with alex although pawnlang.pdf is the way to go and a must read for any PAWN scripter, if you have no experience with programming you might find it a little hard to understand.
My advice is (if its just for sa-mp scripting) and your a complete begginer is - Learn from the wiki, from tutorials on this forum (written by people with good rep) and last but not least other peoples (released) scripts. And as your learning slowly, read the pawnlang.pdf. (or read it all asap if you can understand it all).
But also make sure you understand what is being said.
