Hey there. Id recommend checking out BAS-f. They offer a free download that acts as a platform to begin learning the basics of adding scripts and features to young mission makers. Its taught me a ton already.

Ballistic Addon Studios

OFPEC.com has intro to scripting tutorials that should take you from square one "hello world" type stuff. Its an invaluable reference that I use while Im making a script most every time.

It helps if you set some goals for the learning process. Like how to createvehicle stuff and setpos getpos and domove vehicles. Looking at other peoples scripts can be a great insight as well.

a great peice of code is

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

hint format ["%1",this]

in the init field of units vehicles and later on variables that are in scripts like counters.

Oh and try to learn how to make loops either in .sqs or .sqf because thats a biggie.

And if your at a dead end and have tried everything, hit up the forumn here with your question. Make sure you title your post to what the question is instead of "NEED HELP" or something vague.

"Cant move Unit in MP" is an example of a specific/correct title.

The reason for this is that it makes searching the editing forumn much easier.

Good luck and Godspeed (salutes) smile_o.gif

Does any one know of the renegade script?

The closest thing I have found to it is this...

OFPEC COMREF

I am trying to make MERCS out the Civs in a muc around mission and so far the only way to do it is by either adding an SLA unit as the commander or a RACS unit and set it as RACS being friendly to know one.

Can some one help me with that little bit of scriting?
