Sorry, wasn't intending to stir the pot I'm sure any time I spent with one wouldn't be a waste of time, but I don't want to skip around, as I have a tendency to do that I'm trying to look at it from an entry stand point, since I have no experience in any, not since the commodore 64 I figured "hey, I don't code, let me ask some coders." Are the code interchangeable, i.e i have one item scripted in Lua, and another in C++? (now the complete noobness comes out ) I'm just trying to wrap my head around how things work. thanks!
