How To Use SCAR Tags (and the Posting Controls)
I have realized that many people new to the forums have trouble using scar tags, so I wrote this tutorial.
Why use scar tags?
SCAR tags show the colors and the spacings so that a script looks like it would if put into SCAR. SCAR tags make scripts easier to read and should always be used whenever posting a SCAR script.
Types of Tags
Tags have various uses, here is what each one does. You can receive a simple description of each button by holding your mouse on it.
The numbers go from right to left, just as a person would read a book.
