I have zero background in writing script of any sort, and despite the robustness of Visual Logic, it's clear that in order to be self-sufficient in crafting full production ready scenes, scripting is necessary. Where does one begin to get the knowledge and skills to write cogent, functioning scripts in XPression?

I started by looking for scripts on here :)
#XPression

In the Start menu you will find the XPression Studio SDK help file.. This shows the basic API of available commands etc..
In the beginning of it you will find some examples to help show how to put some of the commands together, but there are more for external API applications as opposed to the internal scripting.

The scripting language is VBScript, so you can google for tutorials on VBScript to get a handle on the syntax of the language itself. Most people start by just copy/pasting existing examples and learning from those..

Willie, I'm no wizard with scripting. But by asking for help on here you learn little bits of scripting that you can modify to make Xpression do what you need. Brian helped me out a few years ago with a Family Feud game that needed quite a bit of scripting. Since then I have adapted what he has given me and used it in other scenes. I agree, it's like learning French from a German teacher. Hang around the forums and you learn quite a bit. Good luck and happy scripting.

HAHA, exactly Brian. Ah the memories. I applied what I learned from you to design an interactive match game to play with fans during time out. It made it to the NBA best practices collection and Portland wanted to do it. Alas, no Xpression.

Hi everyone... Is there any documentation regarding visual Logic workflow and functionality

#XPression

Hey Arshad, in XPression go to help > contents > search for "visual logic" and then click on "Visual Logic Editor" in the results and that will explain what a lot of the blocks do. Regarding actually using it I would follow the Visual Logic videos on XPression U. They may not do what you want but they will teach you the method. "‹https://www.rossvideo.com/graphics-system/xpression/xpression-u/ search visual logic and you'll get about 5 results.
