A question about Coding
#1

Hello friends,I've been tired of searching ways to become a pro Scripter.Watching ******* videos or following Wiki steps is really worthless for me.And i want to know if i go learn some Coding IRL,will it help me to become a SAMP Scripter?
And please tell me all the other ways which i need to follow in-order to become a "Pro" Scripter.
Pro Scripters,Please comment here to help me with this!

Yes, yes it will help you understand and learn other programming languages - and by a lot. But it should be the other way around, PAWN (SA-MP Scripting) will help you learn other languages - that's the typical scenario here. Either way, you will learn, nothing is impossible.

To become a "pro scripter", keep on practicing, if you fail, try again, help others with their problems, edit scripts made by others, analyze them, learn from others, read tutorials, but most important, KEEP ON PRACTICING.

Good luck on your journey.

Start with PAWN and edit a gamemode from -> http://forum.sa-mp.com/forumdisplay.php?f=71 <-. I learned that way, just like a lot others, maybe you will too. And try to help other people with their issues here -> http://forum.sa-mp.com/forumdisplay.php?f=12 <-.

Good luck, once again!

Read the Pawn_Language_Guide: http://www.compuphase.com/pawn/Pawn_Language_Guide.pdf
And this: https://sampwiki.blast.hk/wiki/PAWN_for_Begginers, too.

My final words: If you don't TRY to do anything, you will NEVER learn. Knowing everything in theory will do you NO good if you don't know how to implement it.

And as I said, I learned how to code by editing a gamemode, no tutorials, no wiki, just me and pawno. Seriously, I didn't even know SA-MP Forums existed or the SA-MP Wiki back then.

Programming consumes a lot of time, if you don't have the willingness to invest that time and PATIENCE in learning then don't even bother to do anything.

Just try to understand that Pawn Scripting is event-based.
Meaning you program the script to do stuff when an event occurs.

Most of the events are related to players.
Some of them occur only once during the player's time in the server, some of them occur multiple times.
Once you get the bigger picture, it will be easy to learn new stuff. Just don't give up.

Start with tutorials and always apply what you learn. It's hard but will worth.
I started with some tutorials on *******(I didn't logged on forum for a while and I don't know the rules,if I am allowed to show you this guy).
PAWN is like C/C++.If you want to go deep then you can look over this language.
And about your question languages like C or C++ are like PAWN and will help&learn you to be a better scripter.But if you want to learn only for San Andreas then stick just with PAWN.(PAWN is learned faster working with PAWN , not with other languages)
