Mini Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Basically I'm looking for someone who would help me/walk me through scripting in Lua... Until I get the hang of it. I need someone knowledgeable to go to for a fast reply about troubles I'm having... I could possibly pay this person for help... If you're interested add me on MSN...

dzek (varez) Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 It's better to use forums, posting even 20 lines of code via msn is hell - no coloring, broken indentations, nothing.. Link to comment
Mini Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 pastebin.com ? I feel like the forums aren't as active as an MSN chat... Link to comment
MCvarial Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 On irc there are lots of people who'd be willing to help you 'live' server: irc.gtanet.com port: 6667 channel: #mta.scripting Link to comment
LonelyRoad Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Mini, they probably aren't. But even in an MSN chat with somebody you don't know they'll more than likely have you as the last person on there list to respond to. You're better off reading lua.org/pil and wiki.multitheftauto.com for some examples, look at the snippets for common events and functions (Event = onPlayerChat or onPlayerSpawn for instance || Functions = getPlayerFromName or getPlayerName) and constructing simple things, then post them here on the forums and wait for one of the 'Scripting Gurus' to come look over it and help you out. Some notes: -Check your indentation -Make sure you understand the language -Learn the language structure (The way it's written) -Learn Lua Tables (They're useful) -Remember everything you do (or pretty much everything) has to be inside of a function. (Except initializing tables etc, that can be outside.) ^There's a lot more to it than that, but it's something to get you going. Link to comment

The hardest part is finding all the functions because I'm so used to SA-MP functions. Link to comment
