 ===== Coding the script =====
-Now when everything is set up, it's time to start scripting. At this point i hope you have went through the [[crpl:start|start page]] of the CRPL page, if not, do it now! It explains the basics of the language so you understands the basics, but don't worry if you doesn't get everything there, I'll cover as much as possible here.

+===== Extra =====
+Only read this if you want some extra information.

+<code>$Speed:3.0</code>
+Instead of:
+<code>$Speed:3</code>
+You can use floating point values in the game when choosing the variables! (#5 of the last image above)
