Hi, I am Cody, and I have been trying to learn how to script. I looked on the web, and all I could find was something on basic scripting for kolmafia. Do I need to know Java to do these scripts? Somebody help please. I am very interested in trying to make specific bots and whatnot. Thanks...

Look here! http://wiki.kolmafia.us/index.php?title=Main_Page
Knowledge of java isn't neccesary, although some limited knowledge of scripting/programming may be useful, however its not specifically required!
Browse the forums, download other peoples scripts and look through them, ask questions and we will do out best to answer!

This one help a bunch when getting started, it shows the items types and how to create a basic and advanced map:
http://kolmafia.sourceforge.net/advanced.html
The best help that I got were from user created scripts found here in the forums. I think I have every script in these forums downloaded in a file somewhere. If I have a question on how to do something first I browse through the ones that I have, if that does not help then I ask questions.
What is your programing experience? Knowledge of Java is not necessary but some upper level programming is probably necessary. If you don't have any I would recommend you pick up a cheap teach yourself programming book somewhere. It really does not matter what language, I trained in C++ and made the transition to ash pretty easily.
A few more things that helped me:
Type this in the CLI and copy/paste the result in a file for reference:
help
ashref
Download the source code for mafia and in the data folder you will find all of the item maps that Mafia uses internally, this helps a bunch on how to spell items correctly, zap groups, recipes, etc.

Well, since I am 14, I am kind of busy thus limited to the time I have to learn programming. But, I have learned some of Visual Basic Coding, A little bit of C#, and not much of Java at all. If you have a link I can use that will help me learn the Coding I need to script, it is much appreciated. Thanks Mr. Edge.
