Reply With Quote #1

Okay before I start, let me just say that I have an intermediate knowledge of C++ (Which I hear uses a similar syntax to Pawn).

I have been trying to learn SourcePawn for a few WEEKS now with no avail. I have read numerous tutorials and I still don't get it. I find it a lot easier to speak one on one with someone who has a decent level of understanding with Pawn as opposed to just reading pages upon pages of text.

What I am asking is if somebody could speak to me on Steam / Skype / MSN about it. Run me down on the basics and how I could implement it into a script, I will not take much of your time, but I really am asking as a last resort. By any standards I am quite a smart guy, Pawn just doesn't agree with my brain ):

Any replies or help will be duly welcomed.

Really this page was my main source of help when beginning to learn Sourcepawn.

I use the api site to find new functions.

http://wiki.alliedmods.net/Introduction_to_SourcePawn

Read that, it is surprisingly helpful even if you have done programming in C or C++ before. I think Pawn is closer to C than C++ though.

I don't mean to be rude, but did any of you actually read my post?:

Sure, but I charge a flat rate of £30 an hour. I'll teach you anything you want if you pay me for my time

I would pay, but not £30, and not now because you are asking for money. Help is thanked when it has been received, not before.
