I am new to Roblox Lua

Mark whatever helped you as a “Solution” so we can know what helped solve your problem! Anyway, glad to hear that you found a way to learn.

That would be a bit unfair. You guys all helped me alot.

Oh, then you could credit everyone and mark someone if you’d like to. Didn’t mean intend to take all the credit!

Alraight I edited my post with credits.

I honestly wouldn’t start learning Luau (Roblox Lua) I would start using plain Lua. In general, when you start learning coding by using APIs you will rely more on those APIs than using fundamental code. If you are new to coding in general you really should start by making basic things with a Lua compiler. There are also plenty of Lua youtube videos that show how to use everything from variables to metatables. I’ll link one of my favorite youtube series for Lua.

After you get into that coding mindset then you should transition to the mindset for game programming and start learning about Luau APIs.
