basically I’d say I am now an alright scripter especially for someone who started 2 weeks ago. I have been non-stop grinding, finished all of dev king and I do keep researching, but I just feel like I am not learning anything new and I sort of dont really know how to learn anymore as when you get better it’s harder to learn. Can anyone help me?

Start creating things of your own its the only way to face challenges and grow
Just watching tutorials isn’t going to give you that hands on learning that you need to grow, YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHING OF YOUR OWN, TRY TO CREATE SOMETHING OF YOUR OWN
I’m sure there are things you want to create that you don’t know how to create yet, you’ll reach roadblocks, but roadblocks are good they test us because it ALLOWS us to grow… to become better

what do you recommend I try and create? And if I stuck should I search how to fix it?
You honestly just have to do stuff. Like literally anything. Most Roblox developers don’t really know what they’re doing if I’m being entirely honest so I’d suggest maybe looking into lua / luau from a non-roblox standpoint if you want to know more about lua itself. In my personal experience, a lot of my programming knowledge has not come from roblox itself but moreso an amalgamation of different things. You’re also not going to become a god at scripting in just 2 weeks so give it some time

Create something that you have passion in or interested in, like the saying goes “work isn’t work if you love to do it” probably not how it went but
If you like something your more inclined to stick it through the tough times when you wanna quite man, your 2 weeks and I’m proud of you man out here grinding, paying your dues everyday
Keep that up man, thats the mindset you need for this! It’s not about the dog thats in the fight its the fight within the dog, and yeah sometimes its gonna be frustrating and yeah your gonna wanna quit but don’t let you potential go to waste

think of something you want to make and then make it. When are stuck in the process look for tutorials. Also sometimes you may encounter some new syntax if you are using autocomplete. Research about it if you find it interesting.
a hotdog machine with print statements as first evaluation.
do you mean like i trigger a proximityprompt and it prints hotdog or something?
depends on how you interpret it. You can go ahead with this one.
alright, so in general your saying I should just keep creating random things?

Start with learning the very basics. Variables, printing, looping, booleans, and other simple stuff. Then you can try making a simple contraction, like something to increase your jumppower every second.
Eventually, you’ll have enough knowledge to make something without any tutorials, but all programmers look stuff up every once and while. You can’t know EVERYTHING at once.
Simply challenge yourself or make something you haven’t made before.
If you’ve made a bomb, try a cannon. Made a cannon already? move onto a missile, mess with constraints and such. If you get stuck or are unsure of how to do something do not be afraid to search for solutions.
I have done this for years and I can tell you for sure it is worth it, I began with simply rolling logs down hills as a trap. I ended that project with a missile and my first enemy npc.

One of my experiments turned out to be a game! not quite but still. Just challenge yourself like @CTASAUR had said.
