CloseHI everyone I wasn't sure if I should post this here or in the Theory area so sorry if it's the wrong spot. So anyhow all I have to ask is where I should look to learn about scripting, I use VX Ace so preferably information that can be put to use in VX Ace scripting.
I'm just not satisfied with making a game and not knowing how to write my own scripts, it feels a bit like cheating so I want to learn all I can so I can write my own scripts to put into my finished game.

Learning how to script can be difficult.. It's sort of like learning a language. As with any subject, some people have an affinity to learn it quicker than others. Everyone is capable of learning it, though.
The best way to learn is to understand the basics of programming (Classes, methods, variables, etc.) and logical flow (conditions and such.)
Then, start making some edits! Reposition windows, add some menu commands, do some small stuff like that. From there, you need to work upwards.
Programming Ruby: The Pragmatic Guide has a lot of information on the syntax and everything.

Awesome thanks a lot for the link, I did notice the event codes in VX remind me a lot of Objective C, it seems like the basis of both are a lot a like. So I'll have a read through your link, thanks again.

Learning how to script will take practice, a lot of it, and patience in learning the language. I don't really have the patience to writing scripts myself.
However, there is a big difference in being able to write scripts and read and understand key components of a script. If you really want to learn to write them, my hat is off to you and I wish you the best of luck. However, the scripters we have write their scripts (for the most part) for the users, and so I have no problem with putting them to use and giving the script writers their due praise and credit.
That said, once you understand scripts and have a bit of programming knowledge, you may have a better chance of being able to make adjustments to a script to fit your needs without writing the code from scratch.
