tbh, i knew nothing....this is how i learned
#IF
#ELSEIF
#ACT
#ELSEACT
#SAY
#ELSESAY
these are the simple commands for basic scripting...if u dont know what they mean then go into another script file and just read...you will figure it out, then try to script an npc on your own...its much fun and you will get the hang of it pretty fast...give it a try
again i say, i didnt know a single thing about scripting
