Scripting learning issue

Hello, I am facing problems with scripting.

I am having problems learning Lua, I just cannot understand how to script my own code and other stuff with Lua, it is strange that I know some values from Lua and other stuff, but simply cant script.

I am trying to achieve success in coding to make games for other people on roblox. And probably make some profits.

If anyone has some ideas I would like to hear them

I recommend watching tutorials from YouTubers like TheDevKing and AlvinBlox.

There is also developer.roblox.com, an official website by Roblox that lists all the API services and their details. It is a great way to have a starting understanding of a certain API service.

And of course, use the DevForum. If you are not sure about things, search here and you are likely to find an answer. If you have no answer then making a new post would be a good idea.

Everyone starts scripting differently, I mainly used the referances from developer.roblox.com and later the DevForum, but others have their own starting point.

I hope this reply helped you, good luck on your scripting journey!

I’ll try those methods. Thanks

If you would like something I found helpful,

I suggest watching videos that @doytnr sent, but then try REPLICATING what they made YOURSELF, without looking back at the video. This is how I learned. I watched the video, then after it finished, id try doing it myself based on memory and my little knowledge of what does what.

well, you could do this but if he doesn’t know the syntax then ha probably can’t, so I would suggest watching videos and going through a bunch of smaller systems and trying to figure out how they work and try to add little things here and there.

idk, I learned luau through people like alvinblox and other youtubers, but most importantly I learned luau because my friend taught me basic stuff, then I used that basic stuff to make more advanced stuff - rinse and repeat, with some help of the api reference and devforums too. what I’m trying to say is that you have to use the things you learned to eventually create new things, and learn from it. being able to read your own code and eventually script by yourself comes randomly, and you won’t even realize that you’ve started doing it yourself.

Thanks, I try your ideas later, hopefully they help me
