Description
In general, one of our main objectives is to create more tutorials about scripting in Core. For this challenge, create a tutorial about scripting that is designed for the beginning skill level. This is intended for creators that have little or no prior experience in coding.
Topics
It is up to you to decide on which scripting topic to cover in your tutorial. Try to choose a topic that you think would be helpful for creators new to programming in Core.
Editor
Explain the basics on how to create and save a new script using the built-in editor. If appropriate for the tutorial skill level, consider covering the event log, script generator, script helper, and script debugger tools.
Practical
It is helpful if the tutorial covers concepts that are actually useful in real game development. A lot can be learned from a tutorial that shows how to do something useful, and that can be used in an actual game. Avoid creating something that is of little practical value.
Code Examples
Include code examples to explain programming steps. The code should be clear, have well named variables, and should include comments to explain the logic.
Contexts
Please be sure to explain each context (Client Context, Server Context, etc) that you use.
Downloadable Project
Provide all the scripts for users to download in Community Content or an editable public game.
