There I was, minding my own business, when I realized that I had no idea what Lite-C was. What is Lite-C? What makes it better than C-Script? Am I missing some obvious source for learning Lite-C? Is it like C or C++, but simpler? What do I need to run a Lite-C script in place of a C-Script script?

Somebody, please help me out here.

C-Script is nice and easy, and harder to crash than lite-c. Personally i think c-script is better for non-hardcore programmers. I don't actually understand why Lite-C was implemented instead of something light but super powerful like Lua. I wouldn't work with Lite-C if you are starting, personally.

I think it is an add-on that costs more money, and it lacks the huge several year history that c-script does-- you can find c-script code here to do a million things.

Ok... You mentioned Lua. I've actually programmed in Lua a little bit. Could I write code in Lua for 3DGS?

But anyways, I guess I'll just use C-Script.

If you are going to use A7 then learn Lite-C and forget about c-script. If you are going to stick with A6 then learn c-script and forget about Lite-C. C-script will disappear one day, and Lite-C is what is going to replace it. The only reason it's being kept in is for backwards compatibility, and I doubt it will be enhanced further unless some kind of major showstopper bug is found (then I think it would be foolish not to patch it for both A6 and A7). Lite-C is not a pay add-on. If you own A7, you have Lite-C for free, but there is also a pay version that is not connected to 3DGS. The only reason to know a bit about c-script would be for conversion to Lite-C purposes.

I just went through Lite_ C manual but I got the impression that it is smply C_script plus some additional syntax and custom made structures
If so there is no reason to stick to c_ script
you take a couple of hours to get familiar with Lite_C

It's actually closer to ANSI C but with included instructions/syntax (like in c-script) that hook into the engine and are especially made for game features. Instead of writing 150 lines of code to do one simple thing, we still only have to maybe call one instruction as always; however we get the added power of a more standard programming language (but generally more simple for c-script trained scripters to toy with).

Me neither; however it will be beneficial to learn it since that is going to become the offiial language and all new features will go there instead of the deprecated c-script. This same thing happened when they switched from WDL to C-script.

Agree... I'm affraid that it will be for nobody
To simple for pro and to difficult for beginners

Proffesional user will chose C++ with f.e. Visual Studio and will be not happy and contentment with using C-lite and rookie will be confused with using it.
We will se what will happend

Simple question...
how many of us (c-script users) have changed to c-lite? 5-10% I'm affraid?
