I wish for somebody who’s an expert at building and scripting to help make give me some tips and supervise and help me create the next big ROBLOX game.
I’ve tried Youtube Tutorials, ROBLOX scripting help games like Lua Learning, BUT I JUST DON’T GET IT!
Please, can someone voluntarily do this for me.
Thank you so much in advance.

I would say look into the Roblox API Reference to learn more about game objects in the Roblox game engine, which can help you understand more specific things in the studio. For general help with writing in RLua, I would say look at the How-To videos from Roblox on Youtube, or ask someone you know in private for direct help and teaching.
Fyi: This is the Building Support category, so I wouldn’t recommend posting a question with Rlua help under this category.
I’ve been scripting for A LOT of years now, and I didn’t make any real progress for the first 4 - 5. I was being too impatient and was learning the wrong way and hence was stuck in an endless loop of learning the basics then forgetting it all. Eventually, I managed to figure it out, and have been successfully progressing since. I suggest watching peaspod / PeasFactory‘s YouTube series. While it may be dated, it still has a lot of useful information that will likely help get you started. Also, if you don’t know how to do something, consider a search in the devhub or on the devforum. Finally, remain patient. You won’t become an exceptional developer overnight. It will take lots of practice and persistence, but you can do it!
I learned scripting over many years as well, some things just click, but it really just takes time and effort. Just keep making things, and improving on previous work. Learning efficiency and proper organization are important.
I’ve been programming since I was 8 years old, mostly in kiddie languages such as Scratch, which probably helped me immensely when it came to understanding the fundamentals and terminology of a variety of other languages in the future, such as some parts of Python, C++, Java, etc. (keep in mind I only know a small aspect of the syntax there, so I’m in no definition a professional in those languages)
What really helped me were probably the Roblox Developer Wiki articles, IDTech (or any other tech camp that offers programming courses), and also analyzing code in Free Models. Doing those really strengthened my knowledge of programming.
Keep in mind the way you learn things varies from person to person, so I suggest to try your best, though remember that programming isn’t for everyone, since at times it could be fun or a long tedious process of debugging a single line of code.
