This is from my past learning ad how I learned.
So, I started making games on ROBLOX because I wanted to, and I thought that I was so good at it until I found out about scripts. And I was like, ok, failed. Because I didn’t know how to script! I failed many times, but perseverance is key.
So, what did I do, I persevered, and I basically just tried and tried again. Now, this might sound like any other, but let me tell you. Once you got the basics, your scripting would become much better.
This is my journey in jot notes:
- Tried to make a game but realized I couldn’t (oof)
- Copied tutorials(a lot of them, this kind of helped me understand some things like different functions)
- Once, I got the basics, I discovered Developer forum(read a lot)
- I asked many questions and someone led me to the Developer Hub
- I found someone to help me on some difficulties by contacting them on discord (thank you @realhigbead)
Once you got the basics, you should go to the developer hub. Now, you may be asking, “What, it’s so complicated!” That’s what you would think at first, but, once you got into scripting, it would help a lot.
So, pretend you learned something new, such as, “UserInputService”. A service that detects the users’ input, you can go on the page on the developer hub. There you will see how to get the service, and what things can be done with it.
I know this sounds complicated, but once you’ve got the hang of it, then BAM, you got the rest of it.
To strengthen your self-esteem, I accomplished this is a mere 9 months(started in Febuary, 2019).
