Help With Scripting Sources?
I know that this isn't a code, but I have been desperately trying to find sources for learning Roblox Lua without spending a whole lot of money on five books. I've tried roblox wiki but I can't find a series of tutorials that will give the knowledge I need. I've googled several things such as: "Roblox Scripting Tutorials", "Roblox Lua Tutorials", "Roblox Lua Guide"., but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I've also tried "Lua Learners" and the youtube "Hour of Code". I'm eager to make a Roblox game and determined to do it, but I can't if I don't have the resources. So I am asking, does anyone have Roblox Lua sources that are** easy to understand, cheap/free, and go in depth untill you a complete master at Lua? ** Anything would help, Thanks!

I would recommend these links, even though you mentioned you already tried the Roblox Wiki
What is scripting?: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Absolute_beginner%27s_guide_to_scripting
Basic Scripting: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Basic_Scripting
Your first script: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Your_First_Script
The Best way to learn Lua is to fool around with code when you can. Be curious and adventurous when writing something. I encourage you to try new things before looking them up, you might surprise yourself. Do what you can to attempt it before looking it up, and then fool around more with what you learn.
Most programmers learn through trial and error in their own time, it can be frustrating at first. If you keep at it, it will quickly become fun and you may even have a hard time stopping yourself.

The way I learned was from messing with other people's scripts and looking up functions and properties. Try to look through the Theme, and Game play templates. Look at the scripts in them, and feel free to search anything on the wiki. (wiki.roblox.com)
I learned from the most basic roblox wiki's though am still learning. If you need help creating scripts then just ask how would would create something like that on here.
