Now there is a link at the top/start of the tutorial that allows you to transfer the complete tutorial and appendixes and images in a ZIP file to your local disk.

Its a quick coversion so feel fre to point out any errors in the docs ( bad links and missing pictures and stuff like that )

I needed this tutorial. I've also noticed that it's set up similarly to php.

Good jod on the tutorial! However, you might want to include an "example script" and show where each part of your tutorial fits into it, for people like me who are clueless when it come to scripting. Lastly, a list of all the exec global commands and what they do would be most helpful(PLEASE ).

...there ARE examples... what more exactly do you need exemplified? Be specific please.

Not really shure what you mean by this
Do you mean like exec global/DMprecache.scr?
You can execute ANY script like this... thake a look in the standard *.pk3 files to see all the shipped scripts.

But I guess you want to know what it DOES, right? Well... learn the scripting language and you will be able to read what they do for your self...

Just started scripting today, so basically almost everything is variables, and the variables actions? I dind't get that far, I guess there's more to know

Last years math helped a lot, expressions, variables, equations, etc. etc. See kids, Stay in school!

no i want to quit school and script professionaly

if you need help sonsai i can help you.

i just pm someone to help me get a link in scripting .... and i saw this hehehe this is sick .... wut books would you's recommend for this scripting stuff ... i took q basic.v6 years ago a few weeks of understanding the basics ill be all good i tink .... so much to learn no time to

Ok, you lost me with array examples right here:

local.n[variableOne][variableTwo][5] = 23
local.a = local.n[variableOne]
local.b = local.a[variableTwo]
println local.b[5] // prints 23

I don't quite understand the function here. Are the second and third lines defining variableOne and variableTwo, or are they referencing them within local.n ? I also can't wrap around my head why println local.b[5] would display 23 unless the previous two lines are something like if statements... actually, I just don't know what's going on there. yeah...

This is a hairy example... and if someone would actually use code like tis in a script, they have probably just learned scripting and are showing off....

Here is what happens:

saying local.n[3][1][7] = 35 is saying local.n is an array, give me the variable at index 3
The variable at index 3 is also an array, give me the variable at index 1
The variable at index 1 is also an array, give me the variable at index 7
Set the variable at index 7 to the value 35

In the example above this is done in separate steps:

// Get way in there and set the variable to 23
local.n[variableOne][variableTwo][5] = 23
// Get one step in, and save the variable at index variableOne in local.a...
local.a = local.n[variableOne]
// Get one step in, and save the variable at index variableTwoin local.b...
local.b = local.a[variableTwo]
// Get one step in, and get the variable at index 5, and send it as a parameter to the println command.
println local.b[5]

A smarter and faster way to print it would be:

println local.n[variableOne][variableTwo][5]

Any clearer? If not, don't worry. Extreme arrays like this is seldom used... the only practical use of an array like this that I could imagine would be to store objects sorted in 3D space... but it would be a bad way to store them in most cases as it would use a very large piece of the memory...

I get page not found now......has it been moved or something?
