I am an absolute noob at scripting, if someone could lay out basic functions and advanced functions and what they do, or a link that can teach me lua language. Im interested in making a pit fighting game using a whole bunch of awesome features, i can think the features up in my head but when it comes to the script, im clueless on how to make the come to life. help!
EDIT: I have been to the roblox wiki and looked at the tutorials but it doesnt seem to help me at all.
First off, you should go to Lua.org to read "Programming in Lua" Please do not write it as LUA, as some angry people will make a small rant and say, "IT'S LUA!!!!11!!1!!!oneone"
The book will teach you the basics of Lua and after that, you must learn ROBLOX Lua if you want to script on ROBLOX. There is no book for this, but there is a tutorial found at wiki.roblox.com
Scratch, I don't know how to explain it, can help you understand programming easier, and is recommended by many, you can find it at scratch.mit.edu
Scripting is a high learning curve, so it's fine if you don't correctly do it the first time.
