hello was wondring if anyone could help me on how to get started with scripting lua do i ask chat gpt to teach me or what is the best way to learn

ancient mason
#

do scripting practically, like write code instead of seeing one ig? if u want to learn then ai, brawldev, documentations etc are good tools to use to learn luau

make stuff

#

you just keep doing it

#

we dont remember/know how to do every single thing, thats why we have documentation

sick python
#

learning programming languages is the same as learning any other language, or really just any skill in general. the more you do it the better you get at it.

did u watch yt vids?

vale ingot
sick python
#

yes

#

how do u make stuff

#

if u cant remeber what u learned

vale ingot
#

look up a guide, read the docs, watch some tutorials, draw your information from many sources, but above all else; if you aren't making something, following along with the tutorial, playing with what's shown in the docs, or pulling apart something that already exists and trying to put it back together, what are you really doing

#

you don't remember anything because you didn't take that crucial step of actually making something

sick python
vale ingot
#

you turned your brain off, watched a video about making something, and then you went 'yep im an expert on this now' ... watching a video will never make anyone an expert, you have to put it into practice.

#

it's like, watching football on tv isn't going to make you a great football player bro, you have to actually do it for yourself, not just watch other people do it.

dont expect to finish in a day.

#

i dont wanna look dumb but ion see anything

vale ingot
#

might want to get your eyes checked

sick python
#

i alr clicked on the blue words they didint take me to any ppl explaining scripting in any sort of docs

vale ingot
#

coz bro i got bad news for you, if you don't like reading then you're going to hate scripting because it is 90% reading

sick python
vale ingot
#

click on buttons, read everything

#

do it again tomorrow, and the day after that. there's lots of examples in the docs, open up roblox studio and try them out

sick python
#

ok ill read evreything here

#

and

#

and here

#

there is a lot in the documentation, and it is essential for scripters. if you're trying to write code and don't have documentation open about the stuff you're working with, you're doing it wrong.

#

and yes i am in fact serious when i say read every page.

sick python
#

ok

#

looks simple enogh

vale ingot
#

occasionally i'll read random pages just to see what else is in here that i might not otherwise discover myself, helping people is great for that too

#

but again

#

above all

#

make stuff for yourself in roblox studio, even if it is bad.

#

no one is expecting you to get it perfect and flawless on your first attempt.

#

except for you

sick python
#

and am i to assume being able to script animatons/vfx will eventually be learned by me from these docs

vale ingot
#

and my advice is dont make unreasonable expectations on yourself

#

by making stuff yes

#

alr bet im bout to go make a block turn blue some advanced sh

vale ingot
#

yep, that's exactly where you need to start

#

spawn a block, change its color, make it move etc

#

attach it to a button

#

etc etc, and just keep going

#

don't jump into trying to remake forsaken when you don't even know how to change the color of a part

sick python
#

btw when i watch brawl devs video should i watch for example 1 video evrey 3 days but practice that certian video for thoes 3 days before moving on to the next

vale ingot
#

however long you want

#

the 10,000 hour rule states that it takes 10,000 hours of deliberate practice to master any skill. this is no exception.

#

so if you want to put in 2 hours every week, you're going to be waiting a while before you get any good. up to you

sick python
#

alr bet

#

cheaters and anticheats is a thing you will come across if you get anywhere with scripting, i suggest you do not worry about it for right now

sick python
vale ingot
#

start with working, and then maybe worry about security after you got it working once

sick python
#

it works to

#

you will probably migrate to tutorials, make sure you understand those before going to the next

#

and brawldev is excellent for understanding the very basics of programming in luau
