I need help with translating from Spanish: video game instructions
This is a video game help script from a Spanish game code for the program
RPG Maker XP.
I know that I could make a VERY good game using this script,but
I have no idea what the writer is saying in the tutorial for his script,and the sentences don't make sense when I use the google translator.

NOTA -> ID da ferramenta é igual a ID do evento do mapa de
ferramentas que por sua vez é igual a ID da SKILL no banco
de dados.
Resumindo, se a ID da ferramenta é 3, a ID da Skill e do
Evento também serão 3.
ID da ferramenta.
Duração da posição do uso da ferramenta
(Personagem ficará parado.)
Duração do efeito da ferramenta.
Definição do sufixo para nomear o char usando a ferramenta.
Exemplo de nomeação.
Nome orignal do Character.
ASHES.png
Nome do personagem usando a ferramenta.
ASHES_SW_01.png
Definição do tempo para ativar o efeito da ferramenta.
(Essa opção serve para criar ferramentas como as Bombas onde
o impacto ocorre após alguns segundos.)
Definição do tipo da área de impacto.
LINE = Área em linha reta.
RHOMBUS = Área de um losango.
SQUARE = Área de um quadrado.
Definição do tamanho da área de impacto.
Definição do poder de impacto ou recuo.
Definição do tempo para ativar uma animação de batalha.
(Essa opção serve para criar ferramentas como as Bombas onde
a animação da explosão ocorre após alguns segundos.)
NOTA - Valores de tempo maiores que a duração do efeito da
ferramenta anulam a animação.
Para saber mais estude a customização da ferramenta Bomba.
A = Tempo para ativar a animação.
B = ID da animação
Se você não quiser ativar a animação, use o código abaixo
Causar dano no usuário da ferramenta.
(Bombas, Magias Suicidas, etc...)
Causar dano apenas no herói.
(Magias de Cura, Potion, etc...)
Ignorar invencibilidade.
Ativa multiplos acertos, a quantidade de acertos depende
da duração da ferramenta no mapa.
Here's a screen shot.

Well, I certainly do 
I told you I only speak English,Japanese and VERY basic Spanish.
You're talking to a guy who sees "rofl","noob",and "Lol" on a daily basis. People call "that" English,too.
I see 'NOTE -> ID da ferramenta é do event ID equal to do Map

"rotfl" etc. are abbreviations. the fact that they are employed by English speakers (and are derived from the initial letters of an phrase in English) does not make them "words" (much less, English words). I might agree that 90% of Americans are lousy spellers (although, I think I'd put the figure at only 89%) but that is not relevant in this case. The output from machine translators (MT) rarely contains any spelling errors (after all, the function of an MT is to pick (correctly spelled) words from its dictionary) and string them into a "sentence". However, the output doesn't mean anything. You could read the output of your translation to an English speaker (and, by reading it, disguise any oddities of spelling) and I am quite certain the hearer's reaction/response would be "Huh'".

Yeah...I only know a basic Spanish,it's my third language.
I'm a video game maker in training,so my second language is of course Japanese.
Some of it did translate oddly enough using the Spanish translator,
that's why I thought it was Spanish.

Portugal was part of Spain before 25th of July,1139,wasn't it? That's probably why the languages are similiar.
The languages are "similar" because they both (along with French, Italian and Romanian) descended from Latin. They have all been mutually unintelligible, however, for well over a thousand years.Scotland and Wales have been part of the same island as England since the whole business split off from the European continent. So, how much Scots' Gaelic or Welsh do you understand?
P.S. That's your idea of a translation'! The (after) so-called English is total garbage.
Ooh,I can tell I'm not going to like you.
I asked a simple question,and you had to go and belittle the intelligence of the modern English speaker.
My observation was that the Spanish translator was able to translate almost every other word in Portuguese to English.
If the languages were not so similar,it would not have done that,would it?
My point being,cultures that live near each other tend to have similar languages.
You are right though,most modern English speakers can't even read the King James Bible and comprehend half of it.
Americans being the worst,when a group was asked what a "fowl" is,74% said it was a sports term for an illegal move,istead of another word for bird.
The languages are similar, but in 1139 English was almost identical to other Germanic languages, and a modern English native speaker can hardly understand 5% of an Old English text from 1139, so what are you trying to prove'

This is a video game help script from a Spanish game code
It is not Spanish, but Portuguese. I take that you are either a beginner, or you don't know any Spanish at all; otherwise you wouldn't mistake one language for another, especially when Portuguese is FULL of symbols that don't exist in Spanish (e.g. ç ã).
Sorry, wrong forum.
HI jesse, welcome to the forum.
The translator makes no sense as this is not Spanish 
However, we have Heitor on this forum, he might be able to help you if this is not too long for him.
Hi jesse.
This tutorial is not in Spanish, is in Portuguese. For that reason, google translator didn't help you.
