Hey guys, I have question to all of you, is it very hard to be scripter? How long it would take to learn it ? I would like to be an roblox games programmer and yeah, I have questions about it before I start… As well in roblox basics I did only read about brick color like 3 weeks ago and I was lazy to continue because it was going to be hard more for me… So questions are…
How much it can take to learn scripting?
How to motivate myself to learn more?

It’s not really hard, as long as you are dedicated and don’t give up really it shouldn’t take you that long to get the hang of it.
I am already trying to be Scripter for 1.5 years But i dont know what is coroutine
And Things like that its really hard for idk but i am starting thinking that is impossible for me.
When I started, I was pretty young and stupid, so it took me 2 years to finally being able to make heavy scripts.
It’s not hard to be a scripter, It only took myself a few months to get the hang of it. To motivate yourself you should start some small projects. I read a lot of documentation from the developer hub and youtube tutorials.

It tends to be hard only when you are not focused. If you have that passion and motivation for doing scripting and then it will be quite enjoyable. Me personally, did not enjoy it, but it’s not that difficult once you put your mind to it. Everyone has their own preferences, you can try it out, see if you like it then move on from there.
My favourite way to motivate myself to do things is I give a possession I value (Not one that would prevent me doing work like my laptop) but something I put in high value and I give it to another person. I then tell them my goals and If I don’t keep to those goals then they can keep it, exceptions would occur you falling ill, Internet breaking, Laptop breaking etc as when scripting it is best to practice while you learn. You can say you have been learning scripting for idk say 6 years but you might not have any idea on how to actaully implement things into a consecutive script making it confusing to read. But if you have practiced alongside that then you are going to be going into a commission or even a Job position much better off. A little Story I like to inspire myself with is;
" I was talking to someone and they asked me what would It take for me to do
well, I wanna be successful and I know I have what it takes but I just can't,
can you teach me?
I replied okay, meet me at ____ Beach at 3pm.
The next day the two people arrive at the beach and the teacher starts walking
towards the water, the student followed all dressed up in a suit and tie,
Once they were at about waist height the teacher stopped and said, put your
head under the water for as long as you can. So the student did as they were
asked and kept his head under then went to lift his head out and the teacher
held is head under water for a couple extra seconds. Once the student had
recovered They asked What the hell was that for as anyone would, so the
teacher explained;
If you want to be as successful as much as you want to breathe that is the day
you have what it takes, that is when things will start looking up and then
will be the reward for the effort you put in and the teacher started walking
away back to the land and the student never saw them again.
The moral of the story is that as soon as you have a reason to want to achieve a goal that is when you will start achieving what you want. We look at Elon Musk and his accomplishments but he also had a reason. at one point both Tesla and SpaceX was failing and nearly sent him bankrupt but he had that willing motivation at look I went from nothing to a Millionaire, I want t be there but I need to support my family as he had a wife and 2 children at the time. So that drive made him make the success he has today Now I am not saying that you need to make yourself bankrupt or have a family to support, rather the opposite but that is where the possession of value comes in and if you really do hold that item on a pedestal then with a deadline and things to complete your brain uses the neurological instincts that were etched into our brains in the stone age, I know there is a term for it but I can’t remember it off the top of my head, its not fight or flight. I will edit this bit out and change it once I know the name but it allows you to be so much more focused in what you are doing and can allow you to achieve things that you never thought you could. On the learning scripting itself there is of course the numerous answers use youtube, use the developer.roblox.com but I personally learnt through following tutorials for larger creations, listening to what the people had to say about that part of the script then altering them to understand what I can change, what options exist and then I tried to re create it at a later date then I kept going back to the tutorial and repeating the process until I fully understood that particular topic or the way that specific line of code was used. I understand this isn’t an approach for everyone and that this post was long winded but there are numerous posts time and time again similar to this topic so I feel those who are considering starting scripting or are looking at learning, if they see and actually read this post they will understand that its not drastically hard to be a scripter and you don’t need to know everything that’s why the dev forum and a lot of discord communities have been created. So I hope you do learn scripting and do something great

I started about 9 - 11 months ago, and I have gotten used to it. No it wasnt really hard to learn it was more about how much you dedicate to it. I got the hang of it about 4 months ago. You should be able to get the hang of it too.
