I suggest you start out here, lots of stuff to cover...
http://mattie.info/Also, when you make your first race, i suggest it being a Copy&Paste race, which means you take skills from other already made races, and you put them into one race.
And for a little starters guide...use this(terms for C&P)
The example is HOLLIDAY's knifing race, Rapscillion.
________________________________________________________
Scroll down some bits to see what im talking about
Red area:
Name- the name of the race
Author - Your name
Required level and max lvl (obvious, i hope)
teamlimit - amount allowed per team
Yellow:
player_spawn_cmd - Here is where you will decide if your race has restricted weapons, spawns with a sfx(special effect), gets given weapons, their model, and also their skin color.
Green:
# of skills- amount of skills race has
# of lvls- the amount of times you can put skill points in one skill
skillnames- the names of your skills, to seperate skills put a | in between them
skill descr - discription of skills, again seperate with | , also, make sure the descr. matches the skill
skill_cfg - here is where you put how your skills are activated, again, they are seperated with a | :
player_spawn = they spawn with it, this is used for invi., speed, grav, ect.
player_death = happens when they die, used for exploding, rezzing, ect.
player_victim = happens when you are attacked, used for teleing away when shot, going invis., ect.
player_attacker = happens when you attack, used for extra damage, burning, distorting, ect.
player_ultimate = last skill, always put this in, no matter what
Orange:
This is the skill #, make sure it matches ur skill names, and when C&P, make sure u edit it!
Brown:
This is where you can edit/put in chances of the skills happening, also, this is where you can put in how fast/ how invisible you become, ect.
Seperate each with a |
Purple:
Special Effects go here, I don't suggest making your own just yet, try getting it from other races.
Pink:
Ultimate Cooldown goes here
Thats really all you need to know for basics...
Tips:
Don't spam forums with C&P races
Make sure everything ends with quotaion marks! ""
Run your race through this...ALWAYS http://mattie.info/cs/checkscript.asp
Begin and Close your whole race with { and }
There is more, but not at basic level, when you get more advanced, ask HOLLIDAY, fastfood, real_wolf, Sol|, NovaKiller, ect.
