Hi there, I started learning c++ 2 years ago, but I gave up after a month because it was very confusing, 2 weeks ago I decided to try again and failed again and some dudes sugested that I should start with an easier language and I realized that Blender uses python so I choosed that. I’ve been studying it now for a week or so and I have some basic idea of how the simpler stuff works, I’m using this tutorial, its great:

oh and my final dream is to make a multiplayer fps (:stuck_out_tongue: sry… :D) that is just the way I want it, all games I’ve tried doesn’t satisfy my needs :slight_smile: don’t worry tho, I’m not a hyper enthusiastic kid, I know its a loong way there.

I have a litle question tho, why is this Mouse look script not working? I have tried that fps template Social made but I get very confused by all the IPÒs and empties and all that :frowning:

I made the FPS template for more experienced users, it’s not for people just starting out. The whole thing is actually an attempt to discourage all the freakin newbies from starting with an FPS (and then asking a gizillion questions), by showing how much work it takes just to make a simple frame.

It’s there to show you that you need to start small

My advice to you is to go through this first:

Then you can start with some basic BGE python:

Then make a simple arcade game clone. Something with pretty simple game mechanics. Like pong, or breakout.

Then you should be able to start on the FPS template, and figure a few things out.

As for the online aspect of the game, if you learn Sockets in Python, then it’s not all that hard, if you have a computer you can run as a server.
