ScriptMate is an educational plugin for Roblox Studio that offers a range of fast-paced tutorials, scripting challenges and quizzes for aspiring developers.
Not convinced? ScriptMate also includes a customisable macro feature, which allows you to auto-fill your scripts with confusing code!

Why did I create these resources?
When I was learning to script years ago, I vividly remember finding a lot of the existing tutorials & resources being too difficult for me to sit through.
I was never able to find anything that just gave me the information I wanted to hear, but I had to learn everything I know today over a long period, through a range of different resources.
As a result, I created a straight-to-the-point tutorial series, alongside this plugin, both designed to feature everything you need to get into scripting on Roblox.
Whether you’re brand new to scripting, or looking to improve your skills, the series is designed to be something that everyone can benefit from, without being an unnecessarily difficult experience.
Other Notes
Additional Information
Some content might seem unnecessary at first, but everything mentioned is an essential part of the learning process, and will heavily affect your ability to write your own scripts if you choose to ignore them.
If you’re using the series as a learning resource, please consider this before skipping anything you don’t understand, or find unimportant!
I completely acknowledge that some of you, notably non-native English speakers, might have difficulty understanding everything due to the speed of the content.
Each tutorial includes fully scripted subtitles, the ability to reduce the playback speed in the YouTube player settings, and the ability to gain experience directly from the plugin content.
If none of this is of interest to you, I would recommend looking into other tutorials on YouTube that you find more suitable. These tutorials are simply to fill, what I feel is a gap in current resources.
This playlist is a really great overview of the main topics for Roblox scripting. I will be sending this to anyone who needs a place to start or help with a specific topic such as remote events.
I’m not sure what you mean exactly, could you clarify?
If you’re talking about the plugin not having been updated for a month, the content is taken from a JSON file via HttpService, so any updates aren’t reflected in the plugin’s last update date.
As for the content in the videos, everything should be completely up-to-date, unless you believe otherwise?
Thank you for this. I especially like the quiz part since with other tutorials I can’t see what I remember and what I forgot. Are you still continuing these videos?
I might continue making similar videos when I have more time outside of university work, but it ultimately depends on how well the videos perform and whether I am motivated enough to continue with them.
I do think it would be cool to turn the channel into something bigger, so it’s very much a possibility once I have some more free time.
Must say, you’re awesome! Your videos’ quality, the entire idea of short, but very informative videos is amazing! Thank you very much for doing such step for scriptingbeginners! I hope to see more tutorials from you.
I would love to know more about advanced ui and parts tweening, because it’s very useful in regular cases. It would also be nice if you could show how to make different custom proximity prompts, as this is interesting thing, for example SurfaceGUI and ScreenGUI prompts.
Anyways, I’m so excited for your next tutorials!
Altered plugin UX to assume it as the main tool, with suggested video tutorials on the side.
Visual improvements incl. font, icons and buttons, to be consistent with new branding.
Reduced minimum widget height, to improve experience for users with smaller displays.
Various bug fixes
Plugin now regenerates any corrupted episode data, rather than soft-locking (unlikely)
All challenge script environments default to placing cursor at bottom of script
What’s coming?
I am considering releasing YouTube tutorials on more specific areas of the Engine API. Any future videos released will also be introduced alongside a matching set of challenges, so look forward to that!
Additionally, I’d like to offer extra challenges in future updates, for people that have completed the series and are looking for ideas of general starter projects to try. These could be much larger scale than content currently available.
If you are interested in helping produce challenges, or you have any ideas, please let me know!

-- josh is 19 today, so we assign the variable to the current age
joshAge = 19
-- it is his birthday tomorrow
-- we add 1 to josh's age to get his age tomorrow
joshAge = joshAge + 1
-- we print the value of joshAge to the output
print(joshAge)
