Scripting for newbs

[Nuclear Nezz 2062]

I made a video tutorial of writing  a script. I tried to keep it pretty basic and explain everything that I was doing. If I went through something too fast or didn't explain something in enough detail feel free to let me know and I'll expand on it.

thank u

now i will make an aio slayer script that does clue scrolls when they drop

[Vlad 216]

Hacked by wydsquad.

[Pandemic 2816]

What'd you call me m8?

[FearJan 5]

can u make a tutorial for tb plz

[Nuclear Nezz 2062]

can u make a tutorial for tb plz

no sry

[FearJan 5]

no sry

its ok i forgive u

[G Ked 0]

Thanks Nezz. ^Rep

[bzmake 0]

Thanks very helpful, but it's VERY fast...

 

 

Also, when I add a package to my script like: package BZmake

 

It says it doesn't recognise my package, is it too small? jk

 

No but srs, how do I fix this?
