I just wanted to mention why a video like this exists, in case some people aren't up to speed with my overarching plans.

This video is primarily meant for people who struggle with taking simple individual commands and stringing them together into something larger. If you are not at this level, or already past it, you will most certainly not see anything new, and I apologize for taking your time.


I read, watched and followed many tutorials myself, when I was learning scripting. Back then, there were many beginner-friendly resources. Plenty of material for one's first scenario, one's first trigger, one's first script. And there were many tutorials on advanced topics, like tweaking in-game functions, writing custom systems and game overhauls.

I always felt like there was a step missing. A transition where one goes from understanding singular commands to being able to write complete scripts and truly customize the game to their wishes.

With my videos I try to fill this gap as best as I can. I try to move between basic and intermediate topics, build solid fundamentals and then expand on them with reasonable examples. Sometimes a subject of a video is specific, engaging, or interesting, sometimes it is a very abstract or subjective topic that can be tackled in many ways. While this video on its own may seem a bit strange, it talks about a topic that I've used in many other places, and could help people understand the planning process better, to hopefully make their scripting efforts a bit less painful. So that's the goal of this video, hopefully it will help at least 1 person out there.
