I learned the basics of scripting by just watching videos of theDevKing, they explain most topics from beginnenr to advanced. I suggest watching videos, then going to bed and the next day just start on a random project and try to make stuff thats simple. It doesn’t need to be helpful or really cool, the thing you made is about making sure thatyou understand what you wrote!

I somewhat agree with this. Lua is a very beginner-friendly language, and Roblox only makes it easier to learn, with their APIs and abstraction layers. The syntax is also incredibly readable, and somewhat resembles the English language with it’s keywords. By now there are many tutorials on YouTube on Roblox scripting about how to do just about anything. You can also find tutorial series that start from the absolute basics and cover many key programming concepts.
Some notable series would include TheDevKing’s Beginner to Pro Series, and PeasFactory’s Roblox Beginner Scripting Tutorials.
What I do when I’m learning a new programming language is try to script something small, like a flashlight with battery or a cool interactive door. If I don’t know how to do something, I just google how to do it, and you can really learn a lot by doing this. For example:
- I want to script a flashlight with battery
- How do I make it toggleable? I google it
- I learned about server events and getting the players mouse
- How do I make the battery? I google this too
- I learn about values and while loops
Hello start with some tutorials! I would recommend Thedevking, I wish you best of luck with making a game!
Ah yes, I know him thanks. I have started watching him actually.
CK Studio is your best bet, it is an official learning partner of ROBLOX so it is sure to educate you with scripting. It has been implemented with various courses too, so it won’t be a short one.
