Help me learn GSC
-
Hello, Im currently interested in learning more about GSC and writing some scripts with it, my main question is about documentation I've only found the very simple plutonium getting started with GSC, and some obscure forum posts, I can't seem to find any official documentation about built in functions and language features. Is this normal or am I missing something?
Another quick question I have is how did you all learn GSC, was it from reading code from others? Following a specific guide?
If you have any information please send it my way, thanks in advance!

The best way to learn GSC is to learn from the stock code itself from the Treyarch Devs for either multiplayer or zombies and look up community guides as well. Since official guides do not exist for GSC. Anyone can learn GSC, but it requires patience and understanding the syntax.

@NM456 Yes. A lot of script devs and modders for Pluto learn gsc from reading the gsc dump for the games. Gsc is pretty easy to learn, so making small scripts and trying things the game does via gsc could help you learn the language. There is a site known as Zeroy Wiki which is a great site to use when looking up gsc builtin functions.
Try taking a look at the gsc dump and also other people's creation (they're open source, at least the ones in the forum).

Just to throwing this in here for anybody reading this and wanting to learn so far I found this great workshop by Arthur Adam (0Nom4D) on github.

@NM456 COD never had official modding so yeah it's normal that there's no comprehensive documentation documenting everything.
You should look at the dump, pinned messages on Discord, existing repos and ask for help here or on our Discord.
Note that most CODs share a lot of code and logic so you can still learn how to code on BO2 by reading some MW3 script for example. They work differently so copy paste won't always work but usually 75/85% of the code works out of the box.
You can take a look at my repos to learn, just don't copy paste stuff and credit if needed

https://github.com/Resxt/Plutonium-IW5-ScriptsResxt has no one in the staff thought of writing some? I understand its much easier said then done, but I think a lot of the community would benefit from it or maybe that's just my wishful thinking, if I get any good at scripting I'll definitely try to get some more documentation on here!

@NM456 there are pinned messages, tutorials, answers everywhere and websites providing doc for functions and the game is dumped + you have the forum and the Discord server with people who can help.
I don't think anyone wants to do manual writing for days and days for things you can learn already by simply reading and asking away all for 1% of the player base
GSC is really not hard, even if you never programmed before. You can learn it just fine without an entire documentation telling you everything to do step by step
