Where to learn UnrealScript?

Why use UnrealScript??[/quote]

Hi

If you want to make a game with almost identical gameplay with the UT you could possibly do it without writing any new code but in any other case you will have to use unrealscript to define the objects of your game and (especially) their behaviour.

where can someone learn UnrealScript??[/quote]


After you get familiar with UnrealScript basic features/syntax I'd recommend reading the topics in this page: http://udn.epicgames...ammingHome.html in order to get an understanding of how things work in high level.

The best way to continue in my opinion is to study the existing code.Download an IDE such as Wotgreal or nFringe which provide syntax highlighting and easy navigation between the source files and take a look at how the existing code is organized, especially the main classes such as Actor, Pawn, GameInfo, etc.

I believe that the best way to start writing your own stuff is to extend from an existing class from the UTGame package, so you can change just the part of the code you want without losing the rest of the functionality (for example use the UTPawn class to create a new character). Of course, there are also many short tutorials in the epic forums.
