Where to start...? - BrightLiteFilms - 29.04.2014

I'm a fairly new scripter. I previously knew some C++, which helps with context of PAWN. I know conditionals, functions, mathematic functions, variables, loops, and the like. I do not know arrays. I'd like to get started with PAWN. Yes, I have taken a look at the PAWN manual, in depth at that.

Context is not an issue, I believe that I should be able to write whatever code I need to.

What I have an issue with is how and where I should begin making a gamemode. Do I start with commands? A login system? How would I go about making a master account system in which it is linked to a MySQL database (which I have no idea how to use)?

Thank you so much in advance!

well, like every project you must have a concept. sa-mp has event-handles (callbacks) that dictates what happens in your mode so play with those a bit.. oh, and USE libraries. you can't do everything yourself..(and even if you can, why?)

Thank you for the suggestions, I will start by getting a few libraries (I have one for commands ) alongside making an acquisition of some knowledge on callbacks. Gracias!
