What things should I make in order to improve my scripting abilities?

I’m a new scripter that wants to improve my scripting skills by creating systems. I’ve been scripting for a year now but my scripts are always impractical, messy, and barely function, so I’ve decided to take a break from creating new uncompleted projects every month so i can improve my scripting albitites.
My issue is that I’m not really sure what to create to help me improve. I haven’t really tried to create anything yet after rewatching youtube tutorials on how to script. Therefore, I’ve decided to come on the dev forum and ask for help. What things should i create to help me improve?

keep making stuff, keep asking where you get stuff wrong, keep improving off it

to get good at something, you need to practise it

Make random UIs and start having them do different things play with data stores and such.

wanna know how i learned. I basically, went up to a random game dev studio and said “yo can I make that”, “I can do that”. (i didnt). so i learned how to make it. Thats basically it. Once you learn the general basics, you can understand easily in the future. Like when new things get added to the API you can instantly look at it and know what to do.

thanks for the help. but quick question. what if you couldn’t meet the expectations of the game studio or you tun into too many bugs while making things for the game studio?

Learn from those mistakes. Yeah, it depends what I’m making. Like if you were to make a combat system, and didnt know how to make one. Your first incentive should be to search up how to do that. You need to understand the structure how it works.
Like example: When I click it should attack and do damage.
That sounds to me using UserInputService and RemoteEvents (to attack on the server and damage)

You should learn how to make sub-things of that things.
Like guns make it so you hold the gun first. Then learn how projectiles work.

It all its just experience. I before couldn’t meet the requirements or expectations, but I learned somethings from it and improved future projects.

that makes sense. and while you were learning you were able to possibly make robux for future projects. Thanks again for your time!

Keep making stuff and learn with the ROBLOX documentation or DevForums. Also do not watch YouTube since it’s just “make a script and type this” (they don’t explain or it’s poorly explained).
