Starting PAS Script's/Scripting, First time

[Rouge]

Greeting's...
i have used PAS befor which it was v2.3 but now im using v2.6.1, i have known about the ability of scripts with in PAS but i never really botherd with it untill now.
Normally i go and make a huge map with a theam to it (sometimes) but since i have seen whats possable with scripts "via" youtube it makes me want to do some scripting.
the only problem is i dont know how each veriable and command works or how to even begin entering a script in... i know the command tab "~" key but thats about it, which leads me to my question: what do you need to open/goto to begin a script?

im thinking of starting with "health" and "spell's" such as a fireball...

Normally i would have worked this out all ready because i have a nack for game editors but the couple PAS scripts that i have looked at and studdied have left me clueless...
anyone able to assist me with this maybe even "teach" me how each part works and what it does...

Regards.
Rouge.

Well... RPG mode has advanced a lot (you've probably noticed this), but the documentation for RPG mode hasn't. There's very little to use in the wiki, so it's really a matter of looking at individual maps in 2.6.1 that are RPG. That's about all the help I can give :\

However, FPS is another matter. There are many tutorials around the forum, as well as links to Cubescript text editors. Browse through a few and see if you can get a handle on it that way ;D

iv looked up some tutorials and checked out the rpg and fps mode's and i can see the huge differance they have but as for trying my first script, that would be easy but is it a sector in the menu that you use to enter in a script or is it a seperate program? for example: with the elderscrolls editors you goto the menu and click the script button go file new and start typing your script, is it like that or would you use a .exe program to type in the script...

you type in your scripts in your map's .cfg file located in my_stuff/packages/base/fps
you can edit this externally with any text editor (Notepad, etc)or ingame in the cfg tab
when you click 'editing gui' in the main menu
just click the load and save and exec buttons and edit as you please.

oh so you add your script as a file rather then having to enter it in evertime... thats makes more sence... but i still dont know how the scripting works, but i should beable to figure that out by testing and playing around with it....
