I currently know a bit of Lua but there are still a lot of things that I have little knowledge about.
I want to know if there is a place where I can learn more about Roblox’s Lua or Lua in general.
Any answer that can help is appreciated!

From my perspective I learned scripting from gnome code. You should check his tutorials out.

I would recommend a couple different techniques.

  1. Watch YouTube tutorials about any topics you want to know.

  2. If you can not find the answer, go to the Dev forum

  3. I would use this as a last resort but grab scripts from the toolbox and try to reverse engineering them and see if you can gain any understanding from it.

Also just to note this process will take some time so strap in!

You’re better off learning how to program in vanilla Lua first before attempting to learn the intricacies of Luau and Roblox’s API.

Here’s what I did:

  1. Watch YouTube tutorials (shameless plug, I have recently started a scripting series of my own:)

  1. Watched more YouTube, but this time creating specific games, while changing and understanding the scripts, (another shameless plug, I have a series recreating SPTS:)

  1. Tried to make my own things, when I got stuck searched google/devforum

I would suggest youtubers like the devking for learning scripting. MAKE SURE YOU USE THE DEV FORUM. It is one of your best tools.
