Hey developers! ![]()
In this post, I’m sharing common scripting mistakes that beginners (and sometimes even experienced users) make while following Roblox Studio tutorials. Whether you’re learning Lua for the first time or troubleshooting broken scripts from YouTube videos or blogs, this guide will help you:
- Understand why certain errors happen

- Learn the correct way to fix or avoid them

- Improve your coding skills in Roblox Lua

Topics Covered:
- Misusing
LocalScriptvsScript - Incorrect use of
WaitForChild()or missing objects - Variable scope issues (
localvs global) - Typos in event names (
Touched,Clicked, etc.) - Improper parenting of scripts or objects
- Using outdated APIs (e.g.
BrickColor.new()instead ofColor3.new()) - Forgetting to use
:Connect()for events - Logic errors (wrong conditions, misused loops, etc.)
