How did you learn scripting pawno? - CrazyChoco - 21.10.2012

Ya, the topics says it all: Where did you learn it from?
I am asking this because i want to make my knowledge better in the language, so i later can build up a core which is advanced but easy to use. Ill 100% like if there was some places to read, to understand the language.

-Thanks

Downloaded Godfather and essentially reverse-engineered it. Opened new.pwn and Godfather side-by-side and attempted to remake it using my own methods.

Yea thats a great way, but isn't there any doc's which explain the language? Because how did Blacklite create SACNR? By *******? I dont think so, he probaby got it from some docs same with CrazyBob, Irresistiblegaming and so on. Thats actually what i meant by how they example learned it

I practically lived out of the tutorial section and the sa-mp wiki, I used ****** a LOT, and I would post in the scripting help whenever I'd get stuck. By the way, Pawno is the text editor, Pawn is the actual language.

There's a whole manual explaining the language, problem is, it really doesn't explain too much.

Learned C, C#, C++
Then opened wiki.sa-mp.com and studied what is different and memorized it and made my own script

Tried to learn a C language, got mindfucked, so I looked on the SA-MP wikis and a few ******* videos.

This is the best way I'd recommend someone trying to learn pawn code. Docs can help too though, but it's tough for beginners. http://www.compuphase.com/pawn/pawn.htm#DOWNLOAD_DOCS

Well, I began learning from studying pre-made GMs & attempting to implement them into my own trial script; after that I would attempt to re-create the script from memory alone. It is essential to gain experience through example & to learn the basics of SA-MP (SA-MP wiki, should offer that)
