Great Video Tutorials For Newbies Like Me :)

[infiltrator_2k 28]

I don't know if these >video tutorials< have been shared before, but I found these videos to be such a good resource and starting block for budding scripters like myself. Through one video alone he's explained everything I wanted to know about the basics of spawning units.

P.S. If the guy (Chris) has helped you with his tutorial videos please don't forget to leave a comment and give him the thumbs up ;)

Here's some more great resources: http://www.armaholic.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=6751

Two I would personally start with (in order). Mr.Murray's guide will never get old for novice mission makers and Mikie's (3) tutorials serves as a great step forward and focuses more on writing functions and various code more effeciently. Using local variables etc etc.

Nice one ;) The reason I like Chris' video tutorials is because he isn't pretentious and arrogant unlike another person's video tutorials I can think of :/ This one guy moaned about not having time to go into things and seemed to want to make the viewers profusely grateful that he had found the time to upload his clickity-clicky half baked rushed crappy video tutorial that left me more confused than before I watched it. I personally get great satisfaction from teaching people, and unless people enjoy teaching others they're better not to upload their tutorials, especially if they're hard to follow and if they ignorantly assume that the viewers are at around their competency level. It begs the question why they even want to upload tutorials in the beginning? To show people how quickly they can move their mouse perhaps.

However, that guy Chris explains what is what and what does what and what goes where etc.. whilst speaking and explaining clearly and going at a pace that doesn't require the viewer to having to keep hitting the rewind button. His time and effort is hugely appreciated by noobs like me I can assure you ;)

I downloaded Mr. Murray's tutorial but I've not yet read it. Does he not teach SQS too? which of course would confuse issues if he does.

Even if Mr.Murray's guide does have some sqs, the guide is very valid and is a must for novice editors. Alot of new scripters disregard the guide because it's dated. Yet alot of the questions they ask here, are answered in the guide already... Plus all of the other valueable knowledge in the guide that they are over looking. Anyhow, I certainly wouldn't tell you something that would steer you in the wrong direction. Mr.Murray's editing guide is a win :)

Is it weird that I haven't read a single guide etc? (Besides Icemans GUI guide :P )

[iceman77 14]

Well, you've outside coding experience. You should still read the guide though. Shame on you Fusion :)

[fusion13 10]

Haha :P I might look into it, Is it worth it? And I really like coding with sqf because it actually make sense unlike C, C++, C#, Java... if you think about it say you wanna make a vehicle, createVehicle.... TOOO easy!

I looked through it tonight and agree it looks date, and as soon as you see SQS mentioned it's a big turn off. I will have a good go at going through it though - albeit skipping the SQS parts.

Here is a series i made to help new scriptwriters

Nice! bangabob!
