Scripting documentation?

[Ellye]

Would LOVE to get Scripting Documentation in advance.

Perhaps as a bonus for pre-purchase?

Its Javascript, so really just go get a book or watch some youtube tuts

NodeJS "is javascript" too. But knowing only JavaScript isn't knowing enough to write a 'hello world' NodeJS application. JavaScript with a DOM in a browser "is javascript" as well. The language itself isn't that big of a deal. It's the environment that we need to learn, to be able to produce anything interesting with it.

So far the only clear code that I've found is at http://www.rpgmaker-mv.com/javascript-not-java/ , which doesn't tell us much:

* The script is wrapped in a self-executing anonoymous function.
* There's something called Number, probably for storing system variables.
* There's something called Window_TitleCommand

I know JavaScript.

I'm talking about the actual scripting documentation for RPG Maker MV. Their classes, data structures, etc.

Thanks, that's already more than I had seem so far. Which is still not much at all, unfortunately.

I'm going to have to side with the other people here. It's one thing to learn the language, but it's another to use that language effectively. I suppose one could read through the provided code to see how it works though.

In any case, I can't wait to check out the new RPG Maker.

Would love to see this as well. Basically what's the API docs. It would be great if we were able to start creating plugins/etc early.

Enterbrain have never provided good scripting documentation ;_;
Of course, I do hope it will be different for MV.

Yeah, while VX Ace has basic documentation, you still end up having to read the scripts themselves to understand the actual flow of the program.

Thankfully they are clear enough, at least.
