@ikt And first of all he needs to learn the programming basics, which alone takes a year at least. LOL
Yeah, when somebody puts all their effort into something and dedicate a lot of spare time to it you usually get great results regardless to the subject itself which could be programming, drawing, singing, etc. In some rare cases, people give up because they think they can not push a little more further but that's not the case usually. Failing and trivial are essential to learn anything.
Well, unfortunately some people think the Internet is a prefabricated Question&Answer place, where you get what you want just like you buy what you want with money. That's not true, you have to do a lot of work by yourself, search, give up, try, search again, and so on.. Yes there are tutorials that cover a subject and explain it very well, but it doesn't mean you won't have any questions after reading it. This is why I believe some people are just too young or immature to get started, or maybe it comes from a naive perspective like "oh this should suit me" and react in disbelief when confronted to its reality. Generally we learn from a macroscopic view, if you want to learn about how guns work and how they're made, you'll first observe the gun, disassemble it, understand the core parts, and then maybe you'll figure out about the chemical for example why guns aren't fully made in plastic, what makes them expensive etc.
Take a look at this for example :

I really don't know how to create mods... Is there any tutorials how to make mods or is there a program that helps me? I wanna make an AI (like the flash) that saves people from danger...
To answer this question you have to divide all the subjects it covers which include:
Learning a bit of binary and general knowledge about computers (how do we translate code to machine and why?)
Learning basics of programming (hello world, how to use an IDE, reading other people's work)
Learning about how the game works in general (which engine? file extensions? anticheat? etc.)
Learning about ScriptHookV(its history on IV, who made it, how it works, open the SDK projects, etc.)
Merging and confronting your previous knowledge to what you learned, figuring out
This list is not exhaustive nor it contains everything because you will learn everything differently : one day you'll read someone's blog post, another day you'll follow a complete well known tutorial, the next day you'll figure out something new in a Youtube video, next week you'll understand from a mistake where was the right path and so on... As you can see, there isn't any "one way to go" tutorial.
Indeed this will take some time, but what else does it takes except a brain, a keyboard and time?
In this case, OP just wanted a quick answer including some links that would explain everything within an hour. It doesn't work like that nor it exists. Actually it's also funny because feelings and knowledge are the only thing you can't affort instantly yet, even freely.
