ok ive been scripting the past few days and im gettin the hang of it now. but i hav no idea what i should try scripting first. got any ideas? i dont want em to be to long either if it doesnt matter to much i just wanna learn more by challenging myself.
Play around with the Sprite class.
Make mini-huds and whatnot.
aight lets see what i can do ;)
A CMS is always a good choice for starters. :)
Think of something that sucks in a script.
Fix it.
Or add a new feature to a script you like, make it compatible to an other script...
That's what I did.
wow those are good ideas. i did think of the CMS but i wouldnt know how to design it. blizzard could you give me any ideas?
Make a nice one, which consists of no custom resources, but looks a lot better then the rtp one :D
im gonna hav to draw some stuff up lol
Go for it~
Treat the RGSS Scripts as your little playground. Play with functions and realize what they do and what changes (Such as these numbers here and there).
Tackle on making simple things first. While you may struggle, when accomplishing it...yeah, it's going to be really pleasing. ;)
Mess up the default scripts and see what happens. Eventually you'll observe something interesting and you'll get an idea for a good feature. By doing this, there is more chance of doing something uncommon.
If you want to design a CMS, the first step is to understand how the scene system works. What is $scene? what is the "main" method and what's so special about? Then observe how things work in the "update" method. It's all simple really, it just builds on your basic condition clauses.
Finally, as Aqua stated, tweaking sprites is very interesting, at least for me. My first released script is based off sprites (Enhanced Battle Cursors). Well, that's just moving a sprite, but still. Try to make HUDs, they're rewarding. In the process, focus on learning how to do it right, instead of just doing it. That improves your knowledge and the script's performance.
All there is to say now is happy scripting ^_^
Leik. Make a weapon-building system.
dang a lot of ideas. thanks guys
