Hello, I started scripting about a half and year ago, when I started I was progressing pretty fast, until to this point. Its been more than 3 months and i can’t move on in scripting. Is there any tips if i can move on even further, instead of sitting at one point. I have seen people scripting for 6 months, and their knowledge is way better than mine. I don’t know what to do. Thank you for reading.

The best way is to practice while learning new skills, for example, take a small game project, come up with an idea and implement it. Most of the mechanics for implementing this project will most likely be unknown to you, and therefore you will begin to study these mechanics, and accordingly, you will discover new topics to study, and these topics will help you in your new projects in the future.
For example, before I had no idea how people create plugins, and I decided to create my own, it was not easy, but delving into this topic, I discovered many new opportunities, some of which help me a lot in my projects, and now I create in general, something that many people cannot do.

Be as curious as you possibly can be! Create things for the sake of exploration. Through trying things and failing (and then failing again), you’ll be able to figure out some pretty neat things - which will then help you to succeed.
The most important things we learn as developers, and in this case, as programmers, come from failing at as many things as we possibly can. Dream something up, and then try to make it. Whatever it is, it’ll help push you forward.
And don’t compare yourself to others - your journey is your own. Have fun!
Thank you guys for tips! I will try to follow them. I wish I could mark the both replies as solution.
I agree, the reason you’re feeling that you’re not progressing is that you don’t feel the impact of your work. Don’t compare yourself to others, instead you can compare your present self with your past self and you will see the progress; you can also create public resources such as plugins, models, etc which you could get more insight on it
Try to explore more advanced techniques, such as modules, tables, and coroutines. Good luck!
Coming back after exactly 2 months and 23 days, I wanted to tell that your tips helped. I learned more and I’m happy that I could’ve make it far. Thank you all for the tips and I really appreciate them!
