Just interested in learning how to script...basic question. how do you start a script,what are the main functions that is needed,and how do you know what does what,or how to make it do what you want it to do.???..i keep reading some of the scripts i have gotten for free at yadnis place, trying to figure out how it was done.so far i know you start with a
default ()
or a function that you want then default()? i am willing to take any tips to learn

As a basic background, the Linden language appears to offer an implementation of 'Finite State Processing' or finite state machines. I think reading a book on this would be excessive but there might be a single set of RL university notes somewhere that you can glance to get the gist.

The Linden API offers every usable method for scripting. API stands for application programming interface. Generally, it means that someone else has done a large amount of work and has given you a way to access the work they have done for you.
The Linden API is on your hard disk somewhere - mine is at:
file:///c:/Program%20Files/SecondLife/lsl_guide.html

Learn by example is probably your best bet to start, from the wakka.
