[C++] Starting out on coding in C++

[AHK1221]

Hey guys, I just started learning C++ and I wanted to put my skills to the test. If any of you can be so kind to give me a template to start coding it will be very helpful. Also, how would I go about compiling and making the .asi and other things. A complete would be a dream for me.

Thanks.

would be a good start i guess though i myself have no any clue about C++ .

What about Script Hook V SDK ?

tried it, and let me get this straight; I did not understand one single thing

Try this: watch

and then in the SDK replace the code in script.ccp with http://pastebin.com/t5ZwMJLt

THANKS!!!!! Since i'm starting out I understand most of the things. but what does

void ScriptMain(){        srand(GetTickCount());        main();}

do?

 

EDIT2: The template link expired, can you make a new one for me?

The function srand() is a pseudo-random number generator which is initialized using the argument passed as seed. http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdlib/srand

GetTickCount() returns the number of milliseconds that have passed since the game started I think.

I think you could say that ScriptMain() is called by the Script Hook. The function main() is defined within the scope of your script. In main() there's a infinite while loop

keeping the script running. main() and update_features() can be renamed. I think you can say that WAIT(0); has to do with threads and makes it so that processing power is not locked to only your script/thread.

If you write WAIT(1000) your script will "sleep" for 1 second (i.e. wont do anything during that period of time).

Download the latest SDK and replace the code in script.ccp with Manson's template code from his script.ccp.

You helped me out truly. Thanks.

A little note
I don't know if you know this, but I want to explain more, the magic here is the main.cpp

/*	THIS FILE IS A PART OF GTA V SCRIPT HOOK SDK				http://dev-c.com						© Alexander Blade 2015*/#include "..\..\inc\main.h"#include "script.h"#include "keyboard.h"BOOL APIENTRY DllMain(HMODULE hInstance, DWORD reason, LPVOID lpReserved){	switch (reason)	{	case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:		scriptRegister(hInstance, ScriptMain);//you can go to Definition (F12) of the fuction ScriptMain		keyboardHandlerRegister(OnKeyboardMessage);//you can go to Definition (F12) of the fuction OnKeyboardMessage		break;	case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH://press Ctrl+R when in game, in dev role, to detach script, read the sdk readme for more details		scriptUnregister(hInstance);		keyboardHandlerUnregister(OnKeyboardMessage);		break;	}			return TRUE;}

So as you can see, we have 2 function: ScriptMain and OnKeyboardMessage.
ScriptMain is the gate to your code world, this function would run through when the script is started, so you put a loop while(true) in it thus you can interact with your script throughout your game. - this is the place where you can do anything you want.
OnKeyboardMessage will keep all keyboards state in real time, in the ScriptMain you can check if the key 'A' is currently press by using the following code: if(IsKeyDown('A')) { ... } in your while loop, but remember to have a flag to indicate hold key or press key.
