Is there any good tutorials or advice someone could give for a starter like me?

Asked by 3 years ago

I recently got into scripting and wanted to know if anyone had some good advice or tutorials to help me start off. I don't really know any youtubers who do scripting videos so some tutorials would be nice.

Regarding youtube, AlvinBlox and peasfactory have been an excellent help in learning.

As far as advice goes, don't get burnt out. That's something I struggle with a lot. I'll feel some great inspiration to work on a project, and I'll slave over the computer for hours and hours and sometimes days, only to get a third of the way done and want nothing to do with it. Pace yourself.

Another great piece of advice I was given as a new programmer was to find ways to solve the problem, not how to do it. Basically I mean instead of googling, "how to make shop gui," think out as much as you can yourself, and then google the individual parts if you have to. So, maybe you'll google "how to make gui appear when button pressed," then, "how to take currency away from player," then "how to give player item," etc.

Last but not least, avoid paste bin at all costs! Very little to no experience or knowledge is obtained through copy/pasting, and in the end you feel like the creation is not yours.

I hope I could help out a bit, here's to future projects and scripting adventures!

I like watching alvinblox when I need help. You can find him here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp1R0TBvgM7gj0rwTYULmSA

I suggest you also watch dev king. You can find him here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS2smVWjNGuRzD6HVWmlWwQ

You can look through the dev forums for help: https://devforum.roblox.com/

To be honest, I used to totally suck at scripting. I used to have to use tycoon kits, or gun kits, and that's fine. But keep in mind, learning to script feels like a reward more than work.

I used to have to copy and paste other peoples script when mine wouldn't work.

But when my gun, tycoon, or simulator, or whatever the heck I was doing, didn't work, I would go through the old kits I used, and use the stuff they used, and just stick it onto my script.

I used to be one of those people on here who had -5 reputation, asked bad questions, and was totally clueless, but I evolved, like one of your pokemon. But when I watched youtube videos on how to script or do something, I made sure it would really stick.

And yesterday, I finally reached my goal, 100 reputation. After getting 3 downvotes on my answers, and 8 months of having to grind through things, I did it, and that's all that matters.

Cheers, Zander.

i'll tell you to stay persistent.. Things will seem hard, and senseless at first, but how you handle that is what will determine how well you do going forward.. One common mistake beginners make is: taking up a big project... NO you wont finish that big project, and it will only discourage you.. do small projects - even if it's just printing text in the output, it's all part of learning. This is how I learned, and this is how all GOOD and professional developers learned.

learning is a stage process, this is why when learning math you start with learning how to count, add, .. etc, then algebra, and not the other way around

also, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.. I can't emphasize how important it is to PRACTICE when learning to code... every developer will tell you to practice..

here are some awesome link references to get you started

Personally I watch AlvinBlox. He is really good for tutorials and doesn't just show you the script, he explains each part so you know for future reference.
