****This is how i learned medium level scripting

  • I always wanted to learn scripting so i could build the games i wanted, Yes. Before i always find basic scripting tutorials but this didn't help me at all. So i started to think of something i want to create , and that is mouse dragging model. and then i research all the things that i need to create this mouse dragging. Such how will the mouse works, and throughout that i learned these things, CFrame,Vectors and how to do math with Lua and i just added more features to it like cloning a model to mouse position and the model can be drag only by who spawned it. It gets better when you get more ideas just research it and basically you'll learned something. From now i can script from scratch without googling but when i don't know it i just research and learned it. ROBLOX Wiki can be a good source of the things you need, Just think about what you want to accomplish and narrow it down.

I'm not saying to copy and paste codes, no learn it and write it like it's coming from you.

First thing's first, anything you do takes time.

If you want to learn how to script, and you want to learn how to make a game, you need to put in the time and effort to actually learn how to script. It may take awhile, but the payout is huge in the end.

Second thing, you never stop learning about scripting. You discover lots of things everyday, even expert scripters learn new things everyday.

Everybody learns in a different way. For instance, I learned by deconstructing free-models and using wiki to understand a lot. I also used AlvinBlox on youtube to help me learn.

A few helpful links

Scripting Helpers is extremely useful for finding errors in your scripting. This website includes a live-chat with other scripters, as well as a question-answer based way of finding issues with scripting. Link:link

Youtube is also useful way for learning. Thousands upon thousands upon thousands of tutorials are hosted on this single website. With the search of just a few words, you can find out something extremely useful that you didn't know before. Link: link

The Roblox Wiki is one of the BEST ways to learn about what does what. The Wiki includes dozens of tutorials that include challenges at the end of them that will help you with scripts you might end up using in the future. I always use this site to double check elements of scripting just to make sure that I'm using it correct. Link: link
