INTRODUCTION AND UPDATES
==============================================
I created this thread to showcase template scripts to help people new to the Anime Studio API. Before you go dive into the templates, I'd suggest using these websites to help ease your transition into Anime Studio and LUA.
ANIME STUDIO API: http://www.animestudioscripting.com/
ONLINE LUA IDE(use this to practice LUA): http://repl.it/languages
A LUA TUTORIAL SERIES: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... ctmMOJ70t_
If anyone wants to donate template code, send it to me and I'll toss it up and credit you.
==============================================
TEMPLATE ONE:
TYPE: TOOL
AS VERSION: 10
DESC: BASIC BUTTON MENU WITH NESTED BOX BUTTON
