You don't need a personal teacher trust me.

Find an Internet tutorial, make a simple program.. (I made a calculator Very Happy). Then expand, i made it so it could so things like "10+20" it would reply with "10+20 = 30".

Then keep making and experimenting for a few years, then you know C++.

If i was you, i would completely give it up. scripts.dll while rather simple, is nothing a newbie (i just set myself up for something i know it Nervous ) should be messing with. A lot of people think they want to learn C++ or VB or some other language, but it really isn't as good as you think. Ther're are other things you could do that are far better. Other than that, a lot of C++'ers didn't start on C++ they started on things like java-script, php, perl (i'm not sure about php and Perl, i think they are compiled, just not by thr user. unless they are making a binary) or something parsed. then moved over to the "big-boy" stuff. I don't want to make out i know C++ inside out or are completly 1337 at it. I do know what i'm talking about though. I have a 5 hour drive tomorrow, maybe ill make some of the things in a SSGM plugin as well as the gravity gun slave asked for. If you want to mod rene, i would get good at photo-shop and GMAX (or MAX9) (if you already arn't).

:/ Have you read the other posts? I just got the program today, and I know nothing! It's going to take me a long time to learn and get use to the C++ enviroment unless I find several good tutorials, go to college, or get a book about C++. But all those would still take too long. I need some kind of personal teacher.


There are many resources on my forums you will find useful. I am not teaching native C++, but there is an introduction to the IDE tutorial on my forums and we'd be happy to answer any questions you have.

You can find the IDE video in this topic.

Hope that helps you a bit.

Ah. Thanks guys. I have a VBscript book in my house, which I've been reading. I learned a couple of stuff like fake viruses and messages. :/ Plus I know plenty of html, some javascript, and I can I've coded some things which I have no idea of the name.
If scripts.dll is that hard to mess with, I suppose I'll stay away from it until I'm ready. I'll try and follow the tutorials tomorrow. Again, thanks for your help.

Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

If you think you're good with the syntax and can do some cool stuff, i would move onto something like php. although the syntax is a little diffrent, and it does not have types (as such) like hard core c++ does, it is very good because it has pretty much the same power as c++. in fact, you can actully build c++ applications with php and php alone. Then, run them, in a small amount of code.

Ok, instead of making another crappy singleplayer cheat, I'm going to make a mod package. I think I've figured out how to spawn things will c4/beacons. I'll have a few maps, where you spawn with only a pt (with vechs, and chars enabled) and another pt (with just weapons that spawn buildings). So I'll have it enabled so that you can buy weapons that spawn buildings suchs as turrets, walls, etc.

Ever heard of Tech Assault? I heard of it. But I don't have it. :/ I heard that it had a apc that spawns buildings. Basically my mod is based off of that.

I might get a few more questions later... I only have on now:
Is a second pt with only weapons possible?

Kind of, i think what you could do is get the id of it. attach a script to all pts. if someone buys something when they are in close proximity to the pt they buy a building.

Yes! I did it! I finally got a beacon to spawn a buildings! I have one problem though. JFW_Disable_Physical_Collision doesn't do anything. I still get stuck after creating the buildings. Help?

Edit: Plus I can't get the buildings too shoot people. :/

Ok. The buildings collision thing and got the buildings to shoot people. Again, thanks for your help guys. I'll ask here again if I start to get anymore problems.

Edit: How do I make a building spawn the direction I face?

If you look in i think its the server.cfg in renegade folder theres an option for destroying the vehicle on player exit, its a choice of either true or false.

I don't see it anywhere... (Found the server.cfg, but not the option), plus I want it to be part of my mod for public release soon, and I want it to work for everyone on any option. :/

IT's not a serverside mod. It's just a .pkg mod. Thanks for your help.
