Where Should I Learn How To Script And How Long Will It Take?

Asked 504 views1 answers

Hello all,

My Name (Or rather, Username) is SereneGoddess, and I'm a complete newbie to scripting.

I'd like to fix that, but don't even know where to start.

The Owners of games that I've talked to all recommend me to the ROBLOX Wiki or YouTube,

I've checked the following Scripting Tutorial channels:

•PeasFactory

•Friaza

And so, I'm here to ask this for those who underwent similar (or even different methods of learning)~

What's the most effective way to become the best scripter? (Like, OnlineAdventure level.) And, how long will it take?

I did know the basics of scripting, since I messed around with Free Models, but it's been so long since I've actually read a script so consider me a noob.

Thanks for reading this and thank you (for those that comment) for answering my question.

Much Love,

SereneGoddess, 2017.

The key thing for going through the wiki and other people's scripts is trying to understand what exactly something is doing. It's lua, but it's english. By this I mean you can figure out (Some examples [if something then this else this end] or [while something do this end] or [game.Workspace:FindFirstChild()]).

Try breaking down the script to something you can understand. If you need to, make comments. If you are having trouble understanding a concept, come back and ask us! We'll help you out.

Personally, I started to actually learn Roblox LUA like 5 months back and to be honest, I haven't learnt even 1/10th of what you need to know. (It normally takes around 5-6 years to completely learn all of Roblox LUA) Also one thing to take note is that scripting is just you going uphill forever, you can always look to see how far you have come, but if you don't put in the effort to learn, you won't progress therefore you'll always see stuff the same and it won't be that interesting.
Firstly some youtube channels that use scripting ...:
ROBLOX -scroll down to see tutorials
AlvinBlox
SpooksHD
Peas Factory
The RPG makers
There are many more but I'm not going to list them all...
The Second option is Roblox Wiki...
Scripting
Intro To Scripting
All Tuturiols
I recommend you start with easy and work your way to hard.
Searching up stuff with roblox wiki...
Some things may have 1 or 2 scripts attatched to them so you know what it does, an example of this: findfirstchild
Some may come with Properties,Functions,Events, e.g: Replicated Storage
Some may come in big long lists... eg: math

I hope I helped you, if you have any problems always feel free to ask on the website! (include the problem you have, this is not a request site)
