a lot to read here, itll guide you im sure
its recommended to read https://create.roblox.com/docs/scripting
but if you dont know the basic then read https://create.roblox.com/docs/tutorials/fundamentals/coding-1/coding-fundamentals

Thanks a lot I will try to update you after I finish reading everything

yeah if you just want to learn scripting just go to the scripting/coding fundamentals
cuz if you read the whole creation document itll take forever

Yea for sure I will really try to read and understand this whole scripting thing
tepid cape
even then it is still a lot to read, youd need to read the coding fundamentals before these anyway but its worth mentioning
tepid cape
Thanks a lot I will try to update you after I finish reading everything
any good progress so far?

if you want to do scripting, then do scripting. watching videos of other people scripting isn't how you do scripting. that's like watching football on tv and thinking that somehow makes you an expert pro footballer. It just doesn't work that way.

Well Im not watching someone just straight up script? Im looking for guide tutorials, thats something way different.

it is, in fact, the same thing. you see, the trick with those tutorials is you have to actually follow along in studio and make the things yourself, and put in deliberate effort to break things apart or do things different to the tutorial while following the concepts. if you just copy exactly what the tutorial writes, you didn't learn anything other than how to copy code.
it's like watching a video guide on how to play football and expecting it to somehow give you the skills to play football. again, it doesn't work that way, you have to actually put in the effort to practice it for realsies, not just watch videos about it.
and maybe you are doing that idk, my point is to emphasize you do actually have to put what you watch into practice or you learn nothing
which then means it doesn't matter if you have the best video -- no, the best video is the one you actually put into practice.

most of those answers are going to come from the documentation, not a youtube tutorial http://wiki.roblox.com

Thats what Im currently doing.
shut prairie
a tutorial might give you some keywords to search, maybe a starting point, maybe some technique or approach to a problem, but you should always be reading the docs alongside and practicing it in studio
ionic sundial
Alright.
Do you have any tips of what to do first when you know the basic.
Basically just something easy to practice
shut prairie
Do you have any tips of what to do first when you know the basic.
yes: put it into practice. making something with what you learned. deliberately make something different to the tutorial you followed, and never expect to get it right the first time.
shut prairie
Basically just something easy to practice
i cannot stress enough how important it is to build stuff with what you learned
start with moving a part.
change its color.
put a button on the screen to spawn more parts.
make it spawn with random colors.
after that, start playing with the character maybe - give it more jump power every second. give it more health. make a killbrick.
make a custom healthbar
make anything
the point is to always be making things
ionic sundial
Thanks for the tips.
shut prairie
make a sprint, make an m1, make savedata
start small, and continually build different pieces. eventually, after you have made enough little things, you'll be able to start combining them to make more complex things
like +1 jump/sec sounds easy on its face, until you actually try to go and make one without a youtube tutorial holding your hand the entire way: do it without the tutorial.
ionic sundial
I will keep this channel updated as much as I can everytime I learn something
shut prairie
can't just jump in the deep end thinking 'IM GOING TO MAKE A BETTER THESTRONGESTBATTLEGROUNDS GAME' and expect it to go well
or 'IM GOING TO BE THE NEXT MM2'
or 'STEAL A BRAINROT SUCH AI SLOP ITS TOO EASY I WONT EVEN TRY TO MAKE ONE'
... let's see you make steal a brainrot without copying it out of a tutorial

I've had so many phase on trying to become a developer.
But I don't think I've ever went so far like now.
shut prairie
im telling you how to become developer
ionic sundial
well
shut prairie
i cannot stress enough how important it is to build stuff with what you learned
this is the only way
there is no other way
no shortcuts
ionic sundial
I meant learn scripting at least the basic
shut prairie
there is only making stuff with what you learned, learn more in the process of making stuff, then use what you learned to make even more stuff, rinse repeat and eventually you reach my level.
srsly the only difference between you and me is just the sheer volume of stuff i have made
ionic sundial
I won't even deny a thing you're saying
river lindenBOT
** You are now Level 2! **
shut prairie
even when you learn something in school, they give you homework, they give you assignments, they give you exercises to practice.
that's the practice.
that's how you learn.
shut prairie
too long
ionic sundial
Im guessing 10 years
shut prairie
and even to this day, i am still learning new things in the process of making things
ionic sundial
What was the first things you made as a beginner
shut prairie
websites
shut prairie
i started with html and it progressed into all the other webdev language like javascript and php, dealing with sql, webforums, logins etc, i just kept making stuff
you don't need to start like that, you can start from anywhere
lua is a decent starting point
ionic sundial
Its so confusing as a beginner.
shut prairie
https://www.w3schools.com/html/ this is where i started.

** You are now Level 71! **
shut prairie
not a youtube video tutorial
just documentation.
i went through every example, one by one. every lesson, one by one. read every page, tried every example, fiddled with every example to make it my own
shut prairie
Its so confusing as a beginner.
nonsense. you're just trying to jump in the deep end expecting to understand everything fully all at once. that's a great way to burn yourself out.
ionic sundial

Wait no let me explain
shut prairie
instead of expecting the world of yourself and getting disappointed when you couldn't do the impossible, each day pick one thing and learn that. eventually, after enough days, you will know as much as I do.
ionic sundial
Im gonna get an example script from gpt and I will show you
shut prairie
like, i didn't read that entire html tutorial in a day
it took weeks 😂
and then i took what I learned and built my own websites just for fun
ionic sundial
Im back
I will show you the script and ask you questions abt it
First things first why is there so many ends like, 3 ends
in a row
tell me when you see it so I can delete this giant thing
shut prairie
ai?
shut prairie
Im not using this I promise.
im not bothered
ionic sundial
could you explain some things about this?
ionic sundial
shut prairie
its more fun when you get up to like 10+ ends
but usually an indicator you made a mistake
anyway, you should first learn what end is
ionic sundial
Wait let me guess
shut prairie
and then why there's a bunch in a row should be immediately apparent
ionic sundial
The ends are to signal that the script has ended?
shut prairie
what did the docs tell you
ionic sundial
ohh about that
I have only read a lil bit
I can explain.
I started reading it today at like 8PM
ionic sundial
and I had to get ready to go somewhere, and I came back at 12

you can also learn lua from the lua docs https://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/
most of it applies to roblox because roblox uses luau, which is a version of lua.
which is how I first learned lua; take stuff from the docs and put it into lua and just see what happens
mess with it, change things, then when you get a handle on it, build stuff
always comes back to building things
if you never build anything on your own you will never be a scripter 👍
this is true for any skill. if you never use it, you will never learn it.
e.g you can find all the tips and pointers and video tutorials on how to ride a bike, but until you actually ride one you will never truly learn how to ride a bike.
ionic sundial
I just tried to change a parts color only using script
And I failed:(
Im go look at doc

Waiiiiit nevermind I got it

and now all the mistakes you made along the way you won't make again because now you know to look out for it
expertise is just ... years of doing that over and over again
ionic sundial
and now all the mistakes you made along the way you won't make again because now...
You're right
Pyro have you ever made a game?
ionic sundial
Are they out for public?
shut prairie
my roblox games are not particularly great
they were made for the sole purpose of exactly what i'm telling you to do now - make stuff so you can better learn how to build stuff in roblox
i didn't bother getting anything perfect or correct, just functional enough to show me all the stuff i need to care about and look out for when developing for roblox
coz i can do that after i have already made all the common mistakes and fell for all the newb traps
like humanoid.movetofinished:wait()
i can tell you exactly why that is a newb trap, but i only know that because i tried to build something with it and encountered the problems for myself
ionic sundial
I dont even know what a newb trap is
shut prairie
for anyone who hasn't tried to use it, or hasn't both encountered and conquered those problems, they couldn't tell you why i call it a newb trap
shut prairie
I dont even know what a newb trap is
basically a beginner mistake that looks correct but ends up screwing you over several steps later
ionic sundial
oh I see
shut prairie
hindsight is a bitch, but it is also powerful if you use it deliberately
ionic sundial
is hindsight a lua language?
shut prairie
lol hindsight is a noun look it up in a dictionary
ionic sundial
ohh
oh I feel really dumb
Im having trouble reading this
on the part where it says "Use script.Parent"
shut prairie
script is just the script container
typing script in any script, localscript, modulescript etc will give you reference to the instance that the code is running in
anyway i can't hold your hand every step of the way. whenever you get specific questions like that, google it
