Welcome to the advanced scripting guide for the HPL3 Engine.
The guide is split into two sections: Basics and Advanced.
- The basic section touches on how to set up the tools necessary for scripting and coverage of commonly-used features: The workflow of scripting in HPL3, how to script your maps, callbacks, timers, etc.

Bear in mind that this tutorial mostly covers the most essential things you need to know in order to script your maps.
