Hey roblox Community, I have been watching yt tutorials on scripting lately and they just aren’t doing it for me anymore…
I can’t find a better way to learn scripting so I came here, if there is anyway I can learn scripting more efficiently than youtube please tell me.
Thanks!
I’d recommend to just straight up do some scripting, nothing better than doing it yourself!
So like just random projects and learn?
Aight thanks.
Yeah, you can always look for new projects here on devforum and ask for help!
I would just get shortly scripted objects from the toolbox and study how the scripts works. Then move onto bigger objects with more scripts and see how they all work together (hopefully that made sense). I still do this because I’m not that experienced in scripting as well. Good luck on learning!
Edit: Also try writing your own scripts and try them out. If they don’t work then check the developer forum. It is very helpful.
Look at roblox devforum for people with same problems as you or for help, look at api and do experimenting in studio
Like someone already said in this topic, it is best to start scripting now than waiting and understanding on YouTube before actually taking action on scripting.
Depending on what games you are into, start making it now, even if you think it will be a good or bad game, start making a game now to gain experience.
If you need help during the process of making a game, that is when you start using YouTube and other resources to help yourself gain a better understanding on how you can improve your code to make the game work.
You have to start from the very basic fundamentals of Lua, go to this link because this will really help you to know scripting. https://education.roblox.com/en-us/resources/digital-citizenship-with-roblox/coding-fundamentals. Even if you know some and not all, you still should be continuing as there are some things you don’t know.
Now moving on, If you managed to read all of the coding fundamentals, now you can be able to start reading DevForum posts, read the Roblox API Roblox Creator Documentation, and if you wanted help, you can always make a post in devforum on scripting support or ask an experienced Roblox programmer. You can’t really learn on youtube because of boredom or no patience and probably the reason you don’t learn is that because you probably don’t practice.
For more motivation for you to learn, try to make a game or continue a game you like that is hard for you like an FPS game as an example. To learn, you would follow the same thing as previously mentioned which is about the second paragraph. Practice makes perfect.
Note: This is the best way, If you decided to just keep on finding answers, all you’ll be doing is wasting your own time because this is the best way so far and it can cause repeated answers, this is just annoying that this question has always been asked on the DevForum.
There’s plenty of guides on the Developer Forum that cover how you can accomplish this. Here’s what I found from a quick search:
Use The DevHub its very helpful and it includes all the tutorials you need to learn
( This is how I learned to script )
Save your scripts in a Google Drive/Document. I always refer back to what I already created.
I think you should start off with learning the very basics. You will need to understand how code works before you can start learning. If you want to learn I think the roblox developer hub is a very good way to start learning coding. Also I do recommend the roblox game lua learning if you want to do that instead.
I learned (and am learning) with yt vids, taking apart free models, looking through dev forum, and through dev hub. And practicing, alot.
