Script Reference

Basically yes. The best way to learn is to find scripts that already do pretty much what you want. Using New(Copy) works perfect for this. The next way is to search the forums here and again LOTS of examples exist.

You may also wish to start going to the HL Wiki pages located HERE.

Also as Mathias pointed you to go to the editor, select the Help menu, and then select "Help on Using the Editor". Lots of good beginning tips in those pages. Heck I spent hours using them when I first got started.
 
It sounds like you meant to say "Basically No, You must connect the dots using all these different resources.".

Please don't put words in my mouth. Its a very quick way to piss me off!

I meant exactly what I said. What I listed above is a HUGE set of resources that if used will answer 99% of all your questions. But yes you will have to actually read, research, and spend a little time learning. The more you do the faster each script will come. Eventually you will use any of those resources less and less.
 
Not trying to piss you or anyone off. However, a reference is very different from what you described. I used to program in javascript and vbscript back in the ASP Classic days and MS had a great reference for both.
 
If you're looking for an interlinked document, the closest you'll get is the HL Wiki. This does cover the majority of generic scripting information. However, this does NOT include game-system specific information, such as fields, tags, or macros used only within Pathfinder data files.

Some of the game-system specific information is available by accessing the "Help on Using the Editor" link within the Editor, but the vast majority is not. As mentioned, the best way to find the answers is to identify things that do something similar to what you want, and then take a look at that thing in the editor. I've found many of the users on the forum to be helpful in identifying where to look.

Also, keep in mind that Lone Wolf is a small business (I assume) with a limited user base, of which only a small portion are building custom content, whereas Microsoft, even in the long-long-ago when someone actually used vbscript, is a global corporation with an extensive developer community.
