I have no clue about scripting but i want to make them. :'(
If anyone could help me learn the basics that would be much appreciated. :)
Also if someone could walk me through a script, via e-mail, that would help me a lot.
 
http://kolmafia.sourceforge.net/scripting.html

The above page has instructions for simple KoLmafia scripts. Try writing a couple to practice; just open up a text editor (like Notepad or TextEdit) and type in some commands from the page above, that you want KoLmafia to do for you. Then save the file as whateveryouwantocallit.txt in the scripts folder in the folder where KoLmafia lives.

Once you have done that, you can start up KoLmafia and look in the "scripts" drop-down menu and you should see your new script.

Now, there is another kind of script that people use a lot, that is more complicated to learn but a bit more flexible. These scripts are also written in a text file, but you name them whateveryouwant.ash rather than whateveryouwant.txt; that's how KoLmafia knows which kind of script it is. To learn how to write ASH scripts, try going through the tutorial here:

http://kolmafia.sourceforge.net/ash_tutorial.html

Once you have gotten started on actually trying some of it out, you will have some more specific questions to post. That's a good thing because specific questions are a lot easier for us to answer than a generic "teach me everything". :)

Finally, I'd recomend just using this thread instead of taking it to email; that way whoever is around can help you with your current questions instead of you waiting for some specific person to check thier email each time you run into a snag.

Have fun learning and I look forward to seeing further questions from you.
