Where can I find a good source to learn Roblox Lua? Common question but I would appreciate help.

Asked 603 views3 answers

I am aware this is a very dumb question to ask, but I just wonder where can I find a well-explaining source for Roblox Lua coding. The Lua 5.1 Reference Manual was a bit confusing for me, and it wasn't exactly explaining the ROBLOX version of it. (If required, I can try finding ways to learn regular Lua too, since It's still mandatory to be learned.)

Plus the Lua 5.1 Reference Manual explains everything in a very difficult way, and I could barely understand it.

I have a dream of becoming a roblox game developer, but I'm really overwhelmed and worried that I won't be able to learn coding Roblox Lua.

Could anyone please help me find a good learning source for Roblox Lua? I'm having difficulties in finding one and I'd gladly appreciate if someone could help.

First you have to build a foundation, foundations are very important on learning basically anything :

Plus the Lua 5.1 Reference Manual explains everything in a very difficult way, and I could barely understand it.

That's because you don't have any foundation to build that knowledge upon

This is to build up foundation on Computer science and programming, that will be VERY helpful when you are programming really recommend to watch this first:

Hardvard's CS50

Roblox hour of code, this will show you how scripting in roblox is done watch this next after the one above : Roblox HoC

If you learn and absorb those 2 above, you should find it a lot easier to study roblox scripting, you can either learn from scripting youtubers's beginner to advance tutorials, or the wiki or even other people's script

Well I know you might hear it alot, but picking apart scripts and seeing how they work yourself really taught me. It was a mix of experimenting and alot of it from this website. You just gotta stick with it. I started by attempting a project and using this site and things I picked up to script it. Good luck!

In my opinion, I would recommend youtube. This is the best way to understand coding and is how I learned it.

Tho you will never learn coding in 1 day. It takes practice.

I also liked going in free models and try to understand the code.

If you are interested I would highly recommend AlvinBlox.

Also once you learn to code you will understand it like a sentence.

For me, Lua is the easiest to learn, and once you learn it you know almost all.

Also if you don't understand something you can always ask here.
