Learn how to script/code - Julius95 - 07.10.2013

So, which is the BEST way to learn how to script if you've never scripted before or coded anything... and want to make a own server. Or could it be too much to learn? Just wondering.

Nothing's ever too much to learn, go and review some existing simple GM's and start off from there, use the SA-MP wiki and other sites to help you, check regularly on the tutorials section and check this topic too: https://sampforum.blast.hk/showthread.php?tid=360911 for a list of helpful tutorials.

I don't know what is the best way..,
But I learn like this ->
Just download and create a new script ( in Pawno ) lets say one stunt server.

Just think what you need, try to get help from samp wiki. Or just ****** it,
If you found any, DO NOT copy and paste!!!
Just write EVERY single line. Try to understand why it used for...
Eg lets say so...
You found a teleport cmd, from LS to SF, learn every single line, after it try to edit, if you get any errors, ask here here are thousand ppl who can/will help you,

Anyway just a tip, don't try to start with RP servers, they are just complicated,

Good luck

Honestly, I wouldn't advise you to run a server if you do not the basic first, just saying.

I learned by using:

• https://sampwiki.blast.hk/ (Main SA-MP Wiki)
• http://forum.sa-mp.com/forumdisplay.php?f=70 (tutorials)

And the two most important:

• http://forum.sa-mp.com/index.php (The forum itself - using 'Search' button, creating threads etc)
• https://www.******.com (Any error/warning or for whatever thing you want to know something - that's your friend!)

Have fun.

My post maybe off topic but I just want to share. I learn a bit not from Tutorials or SA-MP wiki. I start learning from different kinds of gamemode or filterscript. What I suggest is to be curious and review them after. As bathushan DO NOT copy paste you will learn nothing I promise. Also start from the basic scripting.

It's something I've read many times in threads about downloading gamemodes and check them about how they work etc. I've only downloaded 3 gamemodes from here (soccer, nfs and 1 more (I don't remember which)) and it doesn't help THAT much. Seriously, there are some gamemodes that are written with bad methods and that's something you shouldn't learn of them.
