How did you approach scripting when you first started?

[andrechan]

Hey guys, so...I'm trying to build my game right now and I'm thinking of adding some features to it. I've seen tons of tutorials to scripting of course. This place is littered with them, and I LOVE IT! 

What I'm trying to ask is how you guys approached scripting when you realized you needed it in your game? 

Did you research on how to apply certain scripts in your game?
Did you learn it from the ground up, starting with the basic denominations?
Did you only need some features in, and after putting it in, stopped scripting. 

I love VXA, and I love discovering things about it every day, but sometimes the deepness of the engine can be daunting. Would love some input on how ya'll learned, and how long it took. 

Thanks <3

"Did you learn it from the ground up, starting with the basic denominations?" is probably the best way (unless you like having headaches from bugs that you do not know how to fix).

imo of course.

This is probably a good tutorial to start, it's about using existing scripts instead of writing your own. If you have problems with that, scripting won't be something for you ;-)
