Title: Newbie scripter seeking advice and guides
Post by: Ketchup on January 21, 2015, 10:31:01 AM
Hey guys, I'm VERY new to scripting, I'm working out how to edit scripts and such but need help if possible.
Can anyone link me to guides on these forums/and others that would benefit me knowing how to not write anything?
Any other advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Have you looked through the tutorials section:

http://www.scriptuo.com/index.php?board=17.0

Cerveza et. al. have some great information in there.

Step 1) Pray that Cheffe continues to support EUO. I'm knee deep in a few big projects so I'll be doing the same.

Step 2) Read Read Read! Start here: http://wiki.easyuo.com/index.php/Documentation?sid=7d32c73c74cd485baf0896c395516a26 (http://wiki.easyuo.com/index.php/Documentation?sid=7d32c73c74cd485baf0896c395516a26) Get the basics so you can read others scripts and know what the heck's going on. Then you can go on to read others' scripts. If your new to programming altogether, you'll need to learn to learn programming first. Then you'll need to learn to learn flow and using if statements to do everything!

Step 3) Modify/Write your own. You'll never learn to code if you don't do it. The key here is to preemptively forecast scenarios that may derail the code when you're writing something more complex.

Its a long but rewarding road. Godspeed!

is learning programming really needed?

Not in the sense that you'll be learning C, python or Ruby. But EUO is its own scripting language with unique syntax and 'ways of doing things'.

If you like to learn a real languange learn pascal, c# , delphi or python :P Then you can skip the euo thingy *giggles*

Thanks for the posts, if you can direct me to some guides for writing scripts for UOstealth that would help me greatly, I'd much prefer that as EUO eats my CPU running my favourite scripts

If you are interested in Stealth, check the stealth section out. I posted a ton of tutorials and others also posted working snippets.

For easyuo its same as stealth. You need to learn and utlize the languange, the syntax and the style and design patterns.
