looking for help

[fretwarrior]

hi all im new to mta, not got a clue about programming (it baffles my head) but i seem to have a flare for creating some cool stunt maps, recently ive been playing on a really great server called " SAES:RPG medics, mechanics, housing, money and more" and love the way its set up but havnt got a clue how to set up a map so i can do the same things as i can on that server, id love to create one similar but with the added bonus of stunts and new areas etc so if anyone can help let me know please.

for those that arent familiar with the server it has the following available on it.

stolen goods shipments to collect

money

banking

houses for sale

interiors

food

petrol

team spawns

city area selection

career selection

character selection (ie: emergency, civilian etc)

and probably a lot more i havnt found yet lol is there a way the creator of this map could send me a way to download and install his/her map (with full credits given to the creator on anything i add to it) ?

The first step is to learn how to script:

You can just read the 2nd link and ignore the first, although there is some very important information in the first link the second link assumes you to know.

Actually, just read em both.

ive just had a quick read through the page on that first link and im even more baffled than i was before it looks like algebra and me and algebra dont mix lol isnt there a way to do this that doesnt involve me learning scripting? i was hoping i could just download the prescripted map and install it into the game so i can then edit it myself with the mta editor.

No, there simply isn't a magical "read my mind and give me what I want readily scripted" function. MTA is advanced, but not THAT advanced, know what I mean?

Read the links Gamesnert gave you. If you can't learn scripting, then you can't script. Sorry, but that's the harsh reality here.

fair enough lol thanks for the help guys ill have to sit down and study that scripting thing a few times i think

ive jus found a rpg script for mta vc that can be downloaded isnt there one for sa mta?

As long as MTA won't use Prolog, you can learn it.

ok what if i wanted just use it for personal use and not as a playable server, those scripts that are in mods/resources can i just use those ? if so how do i get them to work on mta? as it seems the basics of what im after are in there which is just a basic rpg script with ability to buy houses and earn money etc is there anyone that would be willing to write the script for me even?
