Coding Language For Zscript?

[bridgetogulude]

I was wondering, since I am a noob at DECORATE and am trying to code a custom enemy into DOOM, what coding language is most similar to Zscript?

Well, DECORATE.

 

Btw, Zscript is based on C++ iirc

ZScript, according to Marisa Heit, originator of Zdoom, was inspired by UnrealScript; it looks like C# and Swift too.

It's generically a C-style language, so C, C++, C#, Java, and JavaScript all have similar syntax to ZScript.

You should check out @DavidN's wonderful beginner tutorials on zscript: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-36gm0W-VKl89pw9lUfF36TJ28bjrNUn

 

There isn't a specific video on how to make monsters, but it should give you an idea of how zscript works and the knowledge you need to go on from there.

Well, the reason why I asked is because I'm trying to code a custom enemy into a doom map and was wondering what coding language is best for the DECORATE item coding.

You should use Zscript imo, it has all the features of DECORATE + more
