The reason for this thread is to hopfully get an in-depth tutorial on the FPI Scripting Language showing clear examples and explaining thier meanings of thier syntax in a more meaningful & logical way!

I think personnaly that the language should have more clear & logical syntax than what it currently has..

Merranvo might be the best person to do this tutorial as he seems to be the most experienced in it... But anybody could do this...

Just a suggestion here...

I suggest that those with enough programming savvy and those that understand the script syntax should share a few programming tips or maybe write some simple tutorials

or

Better yet, a script archive that actually has SCRIPTS in it!!!

I'll do what I can once I have a good handle on the scripting language. I have not really given it the attention it deserves. Up till now I have been messing around and simply trying to learn the editor and sharpen my level editing skills - and having some fun, too!

I am a reasonably good programmer, so this should not be too difficult.

I've programmed in C++, Assembly, Basic for major languages..
Games languages i've coded in are 3D GameStudio's C-Script, BlitzBasic, DarkBasic Pro.

I personally think that the FPI Script language can do its job well, However my point is the actual keyword syntax descriptions is what Im' talking about here. Like Plrhigher=X Could be written like this here: Player_Hight=X would make more sense and is far more easier to understand & is more logical too!

That's my point im' explaining here.

I just wish the command keywords was more clear than they are..

I agree, I also think TGC could have put in examples for each command, so that users can use them in the correct context.
