Scripting tutorial

Erich · August 19th, 2011, 03:42 AM

I am trying to create some gear from the Unhacked book for use in my game. It seems a lot of this gear adds to things like itititive. I assume this means I'll need to write scrits in the editor.
Is there anyplace where I can find script tutorials for creating Shadowrun gear?
Thanks

This forum is a good start, also try using the editor and creating new copies of items that are similar (wired reflexes for one, technomancer Echoes for another)... there's a wiki, but it hasn't helped me much, it feels too general about HL and not enough info about the SR data model (or the general data model if it's as general as it seems).

I'm afraid that the Shadowrun-specific editor manual isn't something I had time to write in time for the release, and I'll be getting to that in the next few weeks. I'm sorry about this.

Gosh Mathias, what could you have POSSIBLY been doing other than writing a scripting guide?

@Mathias, Don't get me wrong, I think you guys did a great job with the program. I was just asking about a scripting guide because Hero Labs looks highly customizable (which is a good thing) and I just don't have a lot of experiance with scripting.
On another note, is there a way to script an increase in matrix inititive?
I'm trying to create a commlink module (custom interface) that adds a +1 to matrix inititive.
Thanks
