What scripting tutorials would you suggest?

Hello! My name is Kyle, and I’m trying to become an advanced scripter. So a current project I’m working on, is rather simple. I’m trying to make two things.

  1. Is a zip tie tool. So basically what would happen, if you click a player their hands will go behind their back, to resemble hands zip tied together.
  2. A blindfold tool. Similar to the other one, this tool will make a GUI pop up, once clicked on a player.

Instead of getting help with the script, I’d like to know which tutorials you would suggest for this, as it will help me further down the road.

Hello,
I will not be giving you links to videos; however, I will provide you with the Roblox API Reference you will need. I will also not give all of the things you need just some starting points. Getting information the easy way, in my opinion, is not a good learning way but everyone needs to start somewhere so a little head starts to research doesn’t hurt.

This is your best friend and always ask it first

Alright for your first project:

And for your second project:

Currently, this is all I have in mind. Enjoy the process.

I’d recommend not using tutorials. They don’t teach you the problem solving skills you need as a programmer.

Try to do one thing at a time until you reach your goal, and you can use the API reference or Devforum to help you if you’re stuck.

Truly in my opinion just use Roblox Api refrences but if you don’t understand it look it up never be scared to look something up.

If you want to become an advanced scripter, you do not need people on the devforum to spoon feed you tutorials. You need to develop the skill of figuring it out. This skill separates novice scripters from advanced scripters.

An advanced scripter may not know how to make some certain system, but he knows how to figure out how to make one.

The only way to develop this skill is to try figuring things out.

Start by deciding exactly what you want your systems to do, break them down into specific components (i.e. a gun system might have an ammo system, projectiles, damage handling, hit registration, etc.), and break those components down into plain-English “instructions” for Roblox to follow. Then, put together everything you already know as well as what you can research to make it happen.

I wish you the best of luck :smiley:
