Hi! I have been trying to wrap my brain around how we can utilize the note tags to do interesting things, but I haven't found anything that really shows what the note tags are capable of or how to fully utilize them. Google is failing me in my search for a relevant resource....
Is there a good resource to give me the run down on the power and limitations of scripting in note tags?
I should note that I am a novice when it comes to JavaScript(completed Code Academy for JS), but I am fairly familiar with the basics of loops, flow control, functions, etc from working in Unreal Engine.
I have https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-Oa0cRGpjC8L5JO8vdMwOaYMKO75dtfKDOetnvh7OHs/edit#gid=0 which is good, but I feel like I am missing a guide that tells me how to use that document to the fullest extent.
For instance, in the doc you have:
$gameActors.actor(actorID).isStateAffected(stateID)
But in other tutorials/videos I see that we can do:
user.isStateAffected(stateID)
How do I know how I can reference a user, actor, weapon type, etc and where are the different reference types appropriate?
If I see a "user.function" line, where can I expect to find the function that it is referring to?
I probably have more questions than are reasonable to expect answers for here, so if someone could point me to the next step in the path I would greatly appreciate it!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
