How to start developing plugins?

[CalifRHCP]

Hey,

I'm interested in getting into coding some plugins, but I'm not really sure where to start. I have coding experience in Visual Basic/C# but I've never actually created API plug ins for games. I've looked at the documentation and while useful, it doesn't really tell me how to pull everything together.

Is there a guide somewhere detailing a short plugin in creation guide, or perhaps some examples of plugins which are easy to understand that I could look at? Obviously I've looked at some of the ones released currently but the more advanced ones don't provide source so I can't use those for research..

P.S. I've looked at the sample plugins sticky thread as well

Check existing plugin's code. Learn from it although mostly isn't very well coded. Better than nothing I'm also starting to learn slowly. Thinking of starting a private GITHUB with a few active developers to share our special code around.

Menu > Plugin Editor > New. That's the template for a basic script. You can also go into your plugins folder and inside both scarecrow and gps are the sources you can view. Those plus ArcheBuddy - Table of Content should cover most of what you need. For the rest check the plugin section as your question has probably already been asked.
