The tutorial seems good to beginners, but there’s some problems (not counting the english part because you already mentioned it)

  • first:
    If you want to do comments that takes more than 1 line, do this way
--[[ This is a comment
This still is a comment
It's still a comment... ]]
It isn't a comment now

  • second:
    You should do a better format of the scripts, it seems a mess of “extra spaces” and text in the wrong place, I know it won’t affect the code, but seems a mess

  • third:
    Try to separate more the text, the scripts in the model has a lot of comments with an huge ammount of text, and that will make the person feel bored of reading all

Continue doing it,
It can help a lot of people!

Just to correct some parts of your topic:

Some small corrections to help you in the comments of the tutorial:

  • maked → made
  • I’m means “I am”, so by saying “I’m know”, you’re saying “I am a know” and that’s not the correct way to say it, “I am” can be used for “I am a boy / I am a girl / I am a child / I am an adult”, if the text you’re writting doesn’t make sense with “I am / I’m” just use " I "

This should be in #resources:community-tutorials, since it is a tutorial. Also, it would be helpful if all the code was in the topic instead of in a model.

it’s a model, for clearly structure, and it’s a resource, because it’s a model

Okay, but you know that the devforum has plently of capabilities for formatting and organizing your topic? Since it uses Markdown for text input, you can do a lot with text. For example:

Your post, but formatted and fixed

My Take On Scripting

I hope you learn something!

I know that not everybody can script. Let’s change that!
I made a basic tutorial on how to script, hopefully it is simple enough to get you started!

Variables

These can store information to be used later. Make sure you understand this part, as it will be extremely important for the rest of the sections!

local myValue = 10
print(myValue) --> 10
myValue = 15
print(myValue) --> 15

etc… you get the idea

If you want, I can add you to a private message where I’ve listed everything you can do with Markdown here.
