I've read that scripts are just like plug-ins but easier, does that mean that they can't do the same as plug-ins, or that they are easier to write?

If they can't do the same as plug-ins, why don't use plug-ins???
Help plz...

It all depends on your point of view. But in general scripts are easier because they don't require an external programming environment. The can be made from inside Plus! itself.

Script can also do almost everything which plugins can do, from the point of view of pure programming.

From the point of view of interaction with Messenger, script can do a hell of a lot more (that is: in a way easier way).

eg:

To send a message from inside a plugin to a Messenger 7.x conversation, you need to do a hell of a lot advanced programming. And even then it would be as good as impossible for most people.

With scripts, you only need one or two lines of code.

Thanks for your help!

Scripts are much easier than add ons thats why
