Scripting is NOT programming; understanding how to script events and prototype features using Kismit or Flow Graph is NOT programming; neither is taking functions given to you by programmers and doing basic logic with them.
This is programming. Kismet and Flowgraph are graphical programming languages. Just because your job title is not programmer and you may not know C++ does not mean that you are not programming a machine to do something.KyleRowley, on 05 Jun 2013 - 16:03, said:
I can design, build and script logic into levels - but I can't program.
Yes you can. You just don't know the syntax of any main stream programming languages.
This is one of those points of discussion that always makes an argument. A scripter calls himself a programmer, and a programmer says 'scripting ain't programming.' A scripter denies being a programmer, and somebody like Buster says 'what you do is programming.'
It's just semantics.
I have done lots of programming-like things (including programming), but I am definitely not a programmer.
Think of scripting or data tables as "programming lite."
