Where should I start to learn scripting? [closed]
This question already has an answer here:
What order should I learn Lua in?I have tried the wiki's Scripting Books, and the Cookbook, but they seem to overwhelming ; I have also tried looking on YouTube for tutorials, but the really don't have what I want. And It is very time consuming and depressing that I use Script Helpers all the time. So where do you all think I should start scripting thats easy for me, and puts me to the test to see that I am really learning.

Well I personally learned "on the job" meaning when I saw something that I wanted to make or implement in my game I did some research on it and made it. I often copy small things from games I play like I made a mini-map similar to that of phantom forces but to do that I had to do a bit of research on calculating distance of players from one another and other miscellaneous things. This tactic forces you to learn very specific concepts rather than whole chapters. On top of that I often did have to do research with the roblox wiki and scripting helpers to figure out some things but that gives you a better understanding of a concept. Next don't be afraid of copying and pasting code because most of programming is being able to read documentation. And Finally don't be afraid of failing or your code not working because that will give you a deeper understanding of that topic when you figure it out.
hope this helped
