Proper Script Placement for Custom Scripts

In this occasion I want to make a few recommendations concerning where to paste your beloved custom scripts in the maker's script editor. I hope they will prevent you from making those terrible mistakes that usually make your game crash like a car driven by a drunkard.

Rule 1: Scripts that rewrite an already existing method or even a whole class, need to be placed BEFORE all other scripts that aliased those methods.

Rule 2: Do exactly the opposite for any scripts that include aliased methods.

Rule 3: Parent classes should always be placed before their child classes either on a previous section or at the top of the same page where their child classes are currently located. It's excessively important for inheritance!!

Rule 4: Respect the script pack order at all costs! Scripters should not be blamed for people that misplace their scripts even if the scripters have provided a demo showing you how to place them in your script editor!

Friendly Suggestion 1: Never edit any default script right in their original section of the script editor's list. Use a new section that you can remove at any given time if you messed up with your game system and it is no longer working properly.
