Im an ABSOLUTE BEGINNER at coding. I've been playing and hosting cs 1.6 server for years now. So I've finally decided to learn how to code amx plugins.

So what should i do? Where should i start?
Is there any tutorial on internet?

And for your info, by "Absolute beginner" i mean at the WHOLE COMPUTER PROGRAMMING WORLD! Not specifically at amxmodx coding!

Help!

EDIT: Are there any other languages like c, c++ etc that i need to learn before coming to amxmodx?

No, you don't need c/c++ to create plugins, you need them for modules.
https://forums.alliedmods.net/showth...awnProgramming start here with general, then pawn specific and amxx specific.

Also, this is the best place to start: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=94381
You could also read the pawn manual, but at this point I don't feel like it will help you much. Probably will be just boring and won't make much sense.

When I started, I did not know anything about programming, so don't worry.

Thank you very much Hamlet!

When I started, I did not know anything about programming, so don't worry

These words encouraged me so much!

preetham its so easy to learn pawn scripting

read function one by one and test it as per required http://www.amxmodx.org/funcwiki.php
First you must know what is variable float chars string etc function read this tut
Tutorial:https://forums.alliedmods.net/forumdisplay.php?f=83

suppose now you want learn how to get name ?
okay after little bit searching i got the function native get_user_name(index, name[], len);
but i didnt understand what is this ? yeah its really confusing for starter

now what you have to do just search get_user_name in suggestion or scripting help section
you will get 1000+ pages about this native yeah after searching finally i got what i want
Link: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showth...=get_user_name

then i tested in my local hlds, yeah it works man and i learnt a new function
code:

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>
//this is called preprocessor where native has been stored example to make a readable/reliable code direct function is given to you else for get_user_name you have to write 10 lines to get the name

public plugin_init() //now your plugin is intiallizing it calls on server start or map change
{
register_clcmd("say /mynick","show_my_name"); //as you can see command /mynick is set to our function show_my_name
}

public show_my_name(id)
{
new name[33]; //initialize string array 
get_user_name( id, name, charsmax(name) );// id= index 0= return the server name 

client_print(id,print_chat,"your name is %s",name); //%s is for string as name is string size of 33 
} 


go to server
say /mynick
output:

PHP Code:

your name is indra26 


#srry for bad engrich and i m also newbie in pawn scripting

It is my suggestion. This is called indenting your code and breaking lines.

1. Good programming habits

Don't worry about it , If you want you can do anything! Everything's possible.
I'm 13 and I'm learning C++ lool , gonna start learning amxmodx when I get used to C++ A little more.
