hi oblivion, well firstly the templates only provide you with a couple of features. Anything like creating weapons from scratch has to be done manually using 3d models and then their behaviours scripted using one of the 3DGS scripting languages - c-script or lite-c > use lite-c, c-script is old.
So yes this means you are going to have to learn a scripting language if you want to build anything unique in your game, that the templates dont have.
My advice > ditch the templates and learn the lite-c workshops off the donwloads page.
