As a UI designer hoping to become a full time game dev one day, I’ve decided to knock out the hard stuff first and learn how to script. This is where the problems start to come in. Currently, I am using a youtube playlist made by a kind developer by the username of Brawldev. His playlist is good for teaching myself how to script, but i need a little more help. I have gotten a few tips from other people, though. All I know is that I need to practice a lot, so i need YOUR help. Give me the best tips you know of to help me learn how to script.

The best way to learn effectively, progress faster, and become a better scripter is not to focus on creating something specific. Instead, you should learn the fundamentals of the code itself.
This means that instead of searching for how to make an inventory system, how to make an ability, or anything else, you should focus on understanding the code itself, such as what are variables, functions, loops, services, instances, as well as how they work, etc. This way, you will be able to code literally anything you want without any help or tutorial (apart from the documentation).
This isn’t magic though, the first 6 to 8 months are the hardest. It will take a lot of learning and practice to reach an intermediate level and get a complete understanding of everything. However, once you reach that level, it will become much easier to continue progressing as you understand the code. All you need to learn from there is code organization and optimization as well as discovering new things from time to time, which will make you progress slowly from intermediate to expert, without much difficulties.

Alittle bit blunt of an opinion, but I think deep down you already know the answer to this, and it is simply patience and time, there really is no shortcut to learning coding quick you don’t learn such talent and skillsets overnight, but you can definitely make significant progress if you put in the hours!!
Cheers! <3
