some stuff i need help understanding

[Sorinkun]

hello peeps
so i understand that i need to check other people's decompressed mods in order to understand the engine and i see some mods make use of scripts, mainly ani020.h and ani009.h files and some other stuff.
im asking if the scripts are an alternative to what u can do in openborstats bcuz i have no idea how to script. like, lets say i want to implement a lader climbing feature into my game; can it only be made using scripts or i can do that without the also?

Ladder climbing absolutely requires script, and moderately advanced script at that - sorry. The basics of module building however, do not. Honestly, if you are just getting into OpenBOR, you are WAY not ready for that sort of stuff and you're just going to make a mess. Crawl before you can walk an' all that. I'd suggest starting off by modifying an existing module, messing around with its hit boxes and such. Then gradually move on to more ambitious tasks.
