    Default How Long?

    Hey guys I wanna start scripting but I'm curious to know how long it takes for one to actually be fairly proficient at it (I don't have that much outside time). Thanks.

    PS: I SUCK at math.

    Well, define fairly efficient.

    One can always keep learning.

    If you count 'fairly efficient' as being able to create your own fairly complex working script I would say around 3-4 weeks... If you stick to it
    This of course differs for everyone and also depends on how much time you have each day to work on it.

    I suck at maths too. You don't really need anything but to know decimals and under at least. But there are methods in Simba that does the maths for you.
    Simba Code:
    (* Main *)

    repeat
      WriteLn('I am an idiot!');
    until(False);

    3 months I guess? If you don't have much time I bet you need more.

    Again, it depends on the person. Each person has a different ability for scripting/programming. It's not all that hard, just some concepts can be. A couple of weeks and you can create a working script. Hell, i borrowed some code, modified it a little, added in some SPS and wrote very simple functions and i "wrote" a VE iron miner in under an hour. You could easily do this, see what each thing does, learn a bit more, then keep updating the script/writing new ones with the skills you picked up. You are constantly learning.
