Any Resources?

Post by GuidedTour
Hello,

I would like to know if any script authors/editors knew of any resources for scripting? I know almost nothing about coding scripts, but would like to learn so I can code great scripts like other authors!

Thanks!

There are many different 'kinds' of 'scripting'. You may want to start by narrowing down what you mean by a script.

Are you trying to figure out how to understand/write better javascript scripts to integrate with WME or are you wanting a way to quickly automate a series of steps you find yourself doing, over and over, on your computer?

If the former, I imagine that there are many guides to writing javascript available.

If the latter, there are many different scripting languages including some built into common spread sheets, text editors etc. (for example Visual Basic).

One of my favorite scripting languages is AutoHotKey. It allows you to record a series of key strokes and mouse actions and later invoke that series when a specific 'hot key' is activated by a series of key strokes or mouse actions that you have defined as 'trigger'.

So what kind of scripting are you interested in?

I started with www.codecademy.com to learn JavaScript. It's works with examples so learning is easy. After that, I was able to write scripts for Google Spreadsheet. But properties and methods are documented in this case.
I agree with ldriverskier, WME doesn't have that kind of information, as far as I know.

I would be interested in the JavaScript scripts that integrate with WME, so I guess I will have to find a good Javascript book or website! :)

I'm sure some of the regular script writers around here can recommend site to learn Javascript from, but much of the advice I've seen is to figure out what you want to do, find a script that does something similar, then use that as a base to write your script. Writing scripts to integrate with WME requires reverse engineering how WME works, so there isn't a resource for anything specific to WME. If you get stuck on something, I'm sure some of the script writers here can help with your questions.

Good luck! I look forward to trying out new scripts! :)
