Slic programming for dummies?

[RikkL]

Ok people, I need some help here. Does anyone know where I can get an "Idiots guide to slic" ? I've never tried to use it yet and it all seems greek to me. I'd like to set up a static defense that creates a unit when built. Basically an automatic gun emplacement or something of the sort. Or a pallisade would also be an option.

There's a guide somwhere posted by Wombat that I found extremely helpful. I've just started to learn and it's easier than it looks once you get started.

[RikkL]

Thanks, I'll look for that.

Don't bother, it (as well as my guide and some other useful stuff) can be found here.

When I fist started learn slic I found it useful to get the events and stuff of the main apolyton page you might too.

[Locutus]

Yes, that's essential info as well. I'm not sure if it's linked to in this thread but if it's not, you can find it [url=http://apolyton.net/ctp2/modification]here[/ur].

Well what I did was transfer all slic files in to a word document about 32 pages of it, but saying that a lot of those pages are the events . saves a lot of time and money because you don’t have to be prominently on line for help and you can make notes on the bottom

I did that too, only in my case I saved them as HTML and XLS files. I think some files should still be on my uni homepage.

Well the one guides you can’t beat are the scenarios. there short of a few thing but for new people they can’t be beaten

I got a lot of my firs few slic codes out of bit of them

[Locutus]

Yeah, studying and copy-pasting existing code is probably the best way to go when you're just getting started...

[The Big Mc]

I have started to right them down on pare to start with makes it easy finding stuff put on that all the time I have free away for my copy. Makes things a lot easier

[RikkL]

Thanks for all the help guys, now lets see if I can figure this out without having an aneurism....

don't work too hard
