Question

Post by Mygoshi »

Hello, I had a question.

What do you need to know to create scripts? How can you do it? Thanks.

What scripts do you mean? lua scripting? squirrel? quickbms scripts?

Basically all the scripts I mentioned are programming languages (the scripts for quickbms are sequential instructions, not a description of the format) so what you need is just logic, you have a starting point and you have to build all the steps to reach your goal considering all the possible conditions ("if" "then" "else"). Just like the top-down flowcharts you learn at school.

Is logic a huge part of it?

You need at least a minimum of logic.
Instead of talking in general in a very abstract way, what you want/need to do exactly?
I still don't know about what scripts you were referring :)

In that case you need logic while math is not a priority because they are just very basic operations.
Ah and before that you need all the huge part of knowledge necessary for reverse engineering since the script is only the final step.
