With "words" you mean functions? Like, I dunno, CastMORay, ToActor? You can use the wiki to learn about functions. Syntax is very easy, if that's your problem, you can ask also. |

1) "scriptpath = <path to Lua file>" in the objects code block with appropriate tabbing 2) about variables how to add them what they are and why 3) and loads of others |

I learnt from there. Alright, if you want to learn, let's start from something specific: what do you specifically don't understand? Everything? Is there something you understand? |

I don't have any problems on teaching you, not at all, but I doubt we can spam this thread with teachings. |

The scriptpath thingy there is to 'link' the CC .ini object (for example, an actor) to a .lua script (which does things to the actor, say make a hovering moustache over the actor). So, for example, you have a .lua file, moustache.lua, that does this to actors. You want Mia, the Ronin actor, to have a companion moustache, so you put the line 'scriptpath = Ronin.rte/moustache.lua' (assuming you plopped that straight in Ronin.rte folder) somewhere in Mia's .ini definition. But then you also want Dmitri to have a companion moustache too, so you just plop the same line somewhere in Dmitri's .ini definition. Got that? |

No one, let's begin. ScriptPath carriontrooper wrote: At least I can provide explanation for #1.

Remember you've got to type "ScriptPath" with the corresponding capitals. Understood? |

Understood but do you put that in the actors.ini or on a .Lua notepad you make yourself? |

ScriptPath = YourMod.rte/Your/Path/ToTheLua/File.lua goes anywhere inside the actor's, gun's or bullet's ini code, just like if you were adding an extra variable like Sharpness, Mass or HitsMOs. |
