Important Tutorials/ Threads
I'm making this thread because I was helping one of my friend in scripting but reached a conclusion to make a thread that will not just help him only but everyone. This thread is alternative of 'Useful tutorials', because it's outdated and contains so many spoon-feeding/ useless tutorials.
If you find any errors/ mistakes or have any suggestions/ CREATIVE criticism, then feel free to leave it. I will also leave some notes for almost all tutorials listed here about their importance.

Anyway, that's pretty good. You should add a level between "Amateur" and "Expert" like "Regular" or something like that.

Re: Important Tutorials - Tutorials that you must read! - Freaksken - 14.12.2017
Since I see the same mistakes over and over (even though it is documented on the wiki and said time and time again!), maybe add my tutorial.
It's about speedometers, but chapter 1 is a general explanation of the difference between global and per-player textdraws and when to use the appropriate one. So instead of using the title of the thread, maybe use something like this: When to use global and per-player textdraws (chapter 1 of speedometer tutorial)
