You could make it with Pawn and squirrel.
Use GUPS or the fixed version by me when scroll to other pages on script releases

what is gups?
GUPS is a released public gamemode/script made in PAWN. Though, the majority use squirrel platform, since the syntax is similar to C/C++/Java, pretty much easier then PAWN, and it kinda gives you more VC:MP scripting features/stability.

The software you use is PAWNO. PAWN is the scripting launguage itself.

Squirrel is also a scripting language. You can use Notepad ++ if you want to write squirrel scripts.

Hi Special,

Well, let me try to explain them as short, as possible:

  • PAWN: Like the others above already mentioned, it is a scripting language, which allows you to create your own gamemode for games, like VC:MP, or SA-MP. Unfortunatelly, it won't be supported in the upcoming release of VC:MP (0.4) at all (which btw. i myself highly disagree for several reasons, but this is another story), so basically it doesn't worth to learn, if you plan to script only and specifically for VC:MP. Related materials are available below:
    • Tutorials for Pawn, used in VC:MP (http://thijn.vrocker-hosting.co.uk/VCWiki/index.php/Main_Page)
    • Tutorials for Pawn, used in SA:MP (http://forum.sa-mp.com/forumdisplay.php?f=70) (very similar to VC:MP, so it's highly adviced to read through)

  • Pawno: First and foremost, you'd know, that PAWN scripts cannot be used in their "raw", human readable format (.pwn files), so they have to be compiled to binary format (.amx), which can be done with a compiler (pawncc.exe in this case). This way, Pawno is an IDE (Integrated Development Environment), basically, a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for the compiler and an editor in one. In order to get it, just follow the instructions, described in my earlier post (http://forum.vicecitymultiplayer.com/index.php?topic=6817.msg39592#msg39592).
  • GUPS: The name is an acronym and covers the following: General Use Pawn Scripts. It's a script, written in Pawn language by Tamas (http://forum.vicecitymultiplayer.com/index.php?action=profile;u=637), however, the original version (GUS) - for mIRC based servers - was released by Tommis (http://forum.vicecitymultiplayer.com/index.php?action=profile;u=15).
  • Squirrel: It's also a scripting language, just like Pawn, but it's a completely different one of course, with different philosophy, structure, syntax, etc.. Another significant difference is, that these scripts can be precompiled (.cnut files), but it isn't necessary at all (.nut files). Anyways, Squirrel compiler isn't available as a binary, but you have to compile it yourself from sources (http://softlayer-ams.dl.sourceforge.net/project/squirrel/squirrel3/squirrel%203.0.6%20stable/squirrel_3_0_6_stable.tar.gz). Related materials:
    • Tutorials for Squirrel (http://wiki.vc-mp.org/index.php?title=Main_Page) (pretty limited atm., though)
    • Currently, examples and support for it, can be found on the unofficial VC:MP forums (http://vcmp.liberty-unleashed.co.uk/forum/).

That's all for now :) , but please, let me know, if you need any further help.

Kind regards,
T800

Asking about which is better is probably a personal question :P

 I feel better using squirrel due to the syntax overall. Squirrel servers have been improved/updated and exclusive scripting features included, so you can expect a better platform using squirrel language. But note that both languages are also limited by R2 version as well. If i had to pick one, i'd directly start learning squirrel since it is more "easier" to read, and it has a similar syntax with C++/java/etc.

This forum has exclusive PAWN scripting and general VC:MP support. I suggest you (in case you pick squirrel), submit an account in the unofficial forums (http://vcmp.liberty-unleashed.co.uk/forum/) which is full squirrel scripting support.
