RE: Am i the only one?

Sometimes it takes a while to learn or maybe somebody needs to teach you a thing or too. I would strongly advise you to not focus on AngelScript, C++ and Java. Sure, there are similarities and stuff you can do there that you can do in HPL2, but right now, you need HPL2. You don't need any knowledge of them to make a fantastic story. It's kind of beating around the bush and it won't help you if you are starting out usually. Why learn a different language, apply it to another one, when you could just learn the language in question?

Anyway, take a look at some of the game's scripts; try to get a general understanding of mechanics and how everything comes into play. Also, if something feels too complicated, step back and remember what it is supposed to do anyway. The Frictional Games Wiki is a great tool for tutorials and the holy page (http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/amn..._functions)
I would look at some tutorials and try to do them. Experimenting is great thing to do, it allows you to figure out what works and what doesn't work.

Some problem-solving strategies are to re-read the error, it can really help you. If you can't see the error mentioned, re-read the entire function the error is within, you should notice something funny.

Of course, feel free to PM me some questions, I love helping people getting into HPL2 Smile
