Well, just to start off, I recommend you make your topic titles a little more descriptive. Second, scripts are well... scripts! They're things written in code (for RMXP, it's called RGSS which is a simplified version of Ruby made for RMXP). It's apparently an easy thing to learn compared to others but it's still hard. :D

You can do a whole lot of stuff just through eventing (the fact that earlier versions of RPG Maker didn't have scripting ability but still managed to churn out some pretty good games is proof of that), but scripting opens a lot of new doors.

Start with eventing and learn all you can, and when you find that unable to meet your needs, it might be time to learn a bit of scripting.

Also, with a few lines of eventing, they create as much lag as hundreds or thoundands of lines of code.

And vice-verse

A few lines of code can create as much lag as hundreds or thousands lines of event commants.

Script Editor on your RM has few examples if you're using RMXP.

Really? Or are you talking about using the "Wait for Event Completion" command over and over? XD
