Is there a tutorial that teaches people how to script from the very beginning. I have looked at the SA-MP wiki and watched the ******* videos but they all just tell you what to type. I have made successful scripts from the tutorials but i still have no idea what, where or why i'm typing it. It's just pawn i'm interested in for now like how do people know when to make "strings" or "sendclient..." commands and etc.

I guess you can start looking for some tutorials that break stuff down,
I learnt by working with different gamemodes.

Maybe reading some of these?

I also learned by reading through and editing gamemodes. Try reading the Wiki and try to edit some basic (or complex) gamemodes. Good luck!!

You will not understand anything if you read a guide
Just download a game mode and try to edit it add your own stuff to it etc
I too learnt by editing gamemodes

You will learn as u edit scripts and stuff just take a look at the .pwn everyday and watch ******* videos

The way I learned was, I downloaded a game-mode I liked and I looked through the commands and things everyday and day by day, I used to learn new and new things and now - I got my own 2 servers running up.

I suggest u to learn some other basic languages.
Like VB
i started to learn PAWN, couldn't understand a shit
After that, i learned VB and PAWN looked easy.

What is a string
What is a comment
and so on
