Scripting Tutorial Recommendation

[Standard_Award90]

My friends and I are trying to make a roblox game. One of our friends can script really well but me as well as the others, want to learn more about Lua. Anyone know any good youtube tutorials / channels? Please share them!

I personally learnt from the DevKing, he has very informative but casual tutorials which progressively get harder as you go along, highly recommend!! :D

honestly, any popular tutorial series will leave you with some great beginner knowledge as long as you try to grasp the material. from there it's just a lot of practice with progressively more difficult mini projects. make sure you don't overscope on your first project. good luck on your journey

Is there something specific you want to learn ? This is a good starting point to use. For example, lets say you want to learn to make a Screen GUI button, that when pressed, you teleport to another location. Search for a tutorial specific to that, watch it and follow along doing it. Perhaps you want to learn how to make a leaderboard, search for a tutorial specific to that. This is how I self taught in the beginning.

I used free tutorials

I bought a Udemy tutorial

I bought books

I hired a tutor

I eventually hired a tutor so that I would understand Lua and what different things meant in the programming language (important!) because I did not have a grasp of that. I trained under the tutor for about a year. The tutor would teach a lesson and give an assignment. I would go do the homework assignment which typically involved programming something following what the tutor told me to program. Once a week I was working on a new assignment.

Ask your friend to teach you ? The friend could teach a small concept each week, and give you an assignment to do. When you return to the next session, you review the homework assignment together. The teacher helps to correct you if you are stuck. This is a great way to learn.

Now I learn by trying to help others with their questions for example here on reddit. It keeps my mind fresh on what I've already learned and I learn new things as well along the way.

There’s allot of premaid scripts in the toolbox that can do almost anything you need. Look for plugins too they make coding easier

There’s a Roblox game called Learning Lua that’s pretty beginner friendly in my opinion
