I recently dove into this simple thing called "scripting and building a server". Naturally —added to my already curious personality—, I always come up with a doubt, a question, or any sort of uncertainty. After a week of messing around with it, I noticed that 5 of the 10 last posts made in the Script section were from me. I was having so much fun —truthfully— that I just kept on finding new things to ask. I'm pretty sure they are common questions. I'm not asking to have a script from scratch, or to be taught absolutely everything. It is most commonly about errors and to help myself understand the colloquial language of the scripts. However, I can't help but think that maybe it's not the best approach. I always think to myself "try to find it on your own", but I frenquently find myself getting even more confused the more I tour into each command and function. Is there a certain tacit limit as to how many questions can be asked? Is there any way to get the necessary help without flooding the sections?

Where can i download a good inventory script for rp server?

I attached a song to my car, but when i'll go far away from car, the music starts from the beginning... s: how to fix this?

Hello everyone I want a script to my server but I don't write that. This script is a car_buy script. I think you can do this. What is my idea?: - The car's price is hover above the car. - The players can't damage the car as long as the car is parking. - And they don't get in the car as long as they don't buy that. That's all!
