Code The Unrealscript Introduction Thread

[Littlenorwegians]

Hey, you thought I would supply the links? I'M LOOKING FOR THEM.

So, yeah, I know basically all that UDK has to offer.
Everything from kismet to meshes. I make my own in max. I do work in Photoshop. Know how to mix sound. Draws like a monkey, but that's why I'm into 3d to begin with.

But UnrealScript eludes me. Mutators and such too. I know actionscript and the most basic things, but it's... fractured. OK, so what I want is. An introduction, but also something that gives me gradual info along the way.


Thank you.

I'm in the same boat as you. I'd like to know if there is going to be a modding community dedicated to this game, so I can make the transition from sourcepawn to RO2.

You can purchase the Eat3D Intro to UnrealScript

http://www.eat3d.com/unrealscript

Also check out what they have at 3DBuzz. Google will also show some results for UnrealScript tutorials.

The best resource is probably the UDN website. Just go to www.udk.com and check out the learning resources.

That should be more than enough to get you guys started. You should then just frequent the forums and the UDKC IRC channel to talk to people and get help.

Great response, thanks for all the information!

Thank you very much, gentrinity.

I already frequent Epic's forum and will frequent here a lot too for support and thanks a lot of that crucial inf. I am sure I can get enough dough for eat 3d's DVD. Those guys are always great. Didn't know they delved into Unrealscript, must be blind.

Again, thanks.

Beware though, the Eat3D training is not intended for those who already know programming. Most of the content on the DVD is about the basics of programming. Only purchase it if you need that, if not, go ahead and find tutorials on the web.

Assuming you haven't found it already:

Also, for just language structure, if you find anything cheap and easy that teaches you C++ or Java, they are both Object Originated Languages, so very similar in high-level concepts/formats (I guess this also applies to other OOP languages like Ruby or Python)

My understanding is Actionscript is also OOP/semi-OOP, so there should be some similarity in the basics there for you.
