Instead of going into the syntax of everything, I'm just going to give you extremely detailed tutorials. These have helped me considerably and address most if not all the concepts of CubeScript.

Without further ado, Cube Scripting Guide

These include several chapters (4 to be exact) and delves into gui menus, $arg, and more.

This tutorial is very lengthy and includes much about the "Integer Arithmetic" of CubeScript. CubeScript

Yeah those are very helpful but we as a team should make one Sandbox style.

[arcones]

Most of the stuff (if not all) works for SB anyways and I don't want to take the time to make an entire post all about the phonetics of CS

[arcones]

I will most likely publish a CubeScript Tutorial Map today!

This will include the code so that you may dissect it at your pleasure!! A simple dialogue system

[Runescapedj]

I think I'm going to try this if I have a bit more time (much tests to come...), but maybe I can try it tomorrow

[arcones]

Great! I'm gonna start working on the cstutorial map! (very soon at least)

[GR1M]

What kind of scripting are you going to include?

[arcones]

Dialogue!

HERE IT IS! (first post sorry)

Included is a sample script as well! I'll try to post a menu script soon!

Arc

[GR1M]

Not to sound like a grouch but the zip only provides the ogz and art files, OK... but where's the .cfg file specially for scripts? You can even add scripts to the end of the art file but the art file you provided doesn't even posses the script. The only hint of scripting is the .txt file you included and even then people wouldn't know what to do with it? Like i said i don't mean to sound mean just wondering?

[chocolatepie33]

Well, they just open up the .txt file, go to save_as, choose "all files", then change it from .txt to .cfg. done.
