Why does MOHAA scripting have to be so difficult?

Why does it? I know the game is on a weird engine (like Quake 3 + modifications + modifications + modifications) but why can't it be like PHP? That would so much easier (even i would be able to do it). If you wanted to print a message when a player walks through a door in PHP it would be like this:

Code: Select all

if ( $player_walk_through == $door )
{
print "You walked through the door!";
}

simple. but with MOHAA scripting it would be like, well i don't actually have a clue, but i have seen it done and while i understood the logic in it, the syntax was a load of bollocks. I am going to attempt to learn how to moh script - but i cant find a simple down-to-earth tutorial on how to get started - like a MOHAA scripting in easy steps sort of tut.

You don't need scripting for that. Just place a trigger_multiple in the opening and set the following key/value.

Key: message
Value: You walked through the door!

Key: wait
Value: 5

The wait is to keep it from blinking.

um, even i knew that, and im an idiot. MoHAA scripting can be learned mostly by common sense. its the syntax thats hard, but even thats not to difficult. as far as a tut bjarne has a great one, but i forgot the site hehe. i bet he will post it here though.

Also look through the documentaion that comes with the MoHRadiant there's some handy stuff in there too.

Its actually here on .MAP as well. In the reference tutorial section.

It's this one:
/t.php?id=82
...with these 3 appendixes:
/t.php?id=83
/t.php?id=84
/t.php?id=85

it was really stupid me posting this topic. I read your tut Bjarne and it is awesome (i actually had it saved on my pc from quite a while ago, for when i was going to learn to script) now i see how thick i've been. The if statements and for, whil loops work excatly like PHP (which i'm quite good at) and actually it is reletively similar to PHP. I actually think it is quite simple, and as i know PHP it will prob be quite easy to learn. I sound like a right dumbass. But really i should have thought before i opened my mouth. I'm not thick honest!

He he, well sometimes you just need a little pointer and all works out great. Looking forward to some wicked scripting from U in the future then M8

it also has a relation to an old old OLD language, GWBaisic, when u do the math type functions.
