I don’t know a lot about scripting. I know simple functions and loops though not any advanced stuff. I want to make a game so I look up tutorials online and what not. Though sadly I don’t understand the scripts they use.
So my question is, what should I learn or practice to be able to start coding things on my own without needing to look up online tutorials.
It all depends on what you want to do, but the main thing is the order, you can write what you want to do and then how and with what you will do it
Goal: save data
How: DataStore
if you don’t know something, you can always see the API or forum.
Firstly watch a tutorial like the dev king’s starter tutorial. Watch another tutorials too. But firstly ask yourself. How can i make this? Then search tutorials about it. Learn it, try it yourself. Then try something to make it yourself. Then start advanced tutorials when your ready. Ask to DevForum. Learn it, try it. You’ll start making yourself after a while. But the important part is asking yourself how can i make this.

yeah, pretty much what this guy says. theres a lot of great online resources mentioned such as DevKing’s scripting tutorials (he has a TON of them), you can reach out to the DevForum for assistance and reference the API if you forgot/dont know what a thing does. and of course, the most important thing to have is a learning mindset. i’ve noticed ever since i started game development, i would always try to piece in my mind how things work “under the hood”. To become a good developer, you must have a desire to attain information on how things work, as it will allow you to understand the concepts and fundamentals required to develop.
