Hello, um I'm new to this forum/community and hope I can stay around here for awhile. I made this thread because I'm curious about some resources available that could point me in the right Direction for making scripts in RPGMMV. I've been getting used to the program, and I like how it does all the grunt work for you unlike Game maker which I used for awhile. I have a background in Java, I took a class and learn the syntax of that for a year.
Here are the topics I remembered
-Variables
-if else statements
-Arrays
-Loops
-Methods
-Objects
-Inhertiance
-Logical Operators.
- Switch Statement
Where should I go to learn JavaScript, I've code before, but never really applied it in this type of environment. I wonder if I should go and learn the syntax of JavaScript or go to academy or something. I haven't programmed in a year, but I remember all the fundamentals, and how to make logic out of code in my head. I just don't have any problem solving skills(Which I plan to work on).
The syntax in JavaScript is different then Java, but I can understand what's happening, I just can't recreate it for myself. So my question is, should I relearn the basics since haven't done them in so long, or should I start small and work with scripts in this engine. Side Note: I've been working on a lot of art assets for a game I'm creating, that and maps are going well, I just want to add tweaks to the battesystem, and make it more flexible. Like, say if you pressed "X" Multiple times when a circle pops up you do extra damage and text that appears says "Great," or you can win a fight through conversation or guessing a right riddle. It's things like those that I wish to learn how to do. That being said I'm very patient, and plan on putting a lot of effort into javascript, I understand you can't make good things in a couple of weeks, and plan to put the time in. I just really want some sort of guide to go off of. Thank you so much if you read this, and have a great day!
SideNote: I'm also Teaching myself how to Draw and do artwork for Games, I'm teaching myself pixel art, and it's really cool. I already replaced a lot of the default RPG Maker aspects with stuff I drew or a 4 frame animation for my character.
