With "words" you mean functions? Like, I dunno, CastMORay, ToActor?

You can use the wiki to learn about functions. Syntax is very easy, if that's your problem, you can ask also.

1) "scriptpath = <path to Lua file>" in the objects code block with appropriate tabbing

2) about variables how to add them what they are and why

3) and loads of others

I learnt from there.

Alright, if you want to learn, let's start from something specific: what do you specifically don't understand? Everything? Is there something you understand?

I don't have any problems on teaching you, not at all, but I doubt we can spam this thread with teachings.

At least I can provide explanation for #1. The scriptpath thingy there is to 'link' the CC .ini object (for example, an actor) to a .lua script (which does things to the actor, say make a hovering moustache over the actor). So, for example, you have a .lua file, moustache.lua, that does this to actors. You want Mia, the Ronin actor, to have a companion moustache, so you put the line 'scriptpath = Ronin.rte/moustache.lua' (assuming you plopped that straight in Ronin.rte folder) somewhere in Mia's .ini definition. But then you also want Dmitri to have a companion moustache too, so you just plop the same line somewhere in Dmitri's .ini definition. Got that?

Remember you've got to type "ScriptPath" with the corresponding capitals.

Understood?

Understood but do you put that in the actors.ini or on a .Lua notepad you make yourself?

ScriptPath = YourMod.rte/Your/Path/ToTheLua/File.lua goes anywhere inside the actor's, gun's or bullet's ini code, just like if you were adding an extra variable like Sharpness, Mass or HitsMOs.
