How do I make a script?

Well all I really want to do is make a game so I could have enough money to change my username on Roblox. But im a terrible scripter...actually, I don't even know how to make one. Can someone please help me by giving me some tips or websites to go to. A game would be nice too. I really need help D: You could also say how you learned to make scripts.

Please search for you question before asking. If using Google, add 'roblox' to the end to get ROBLOX-related articles. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+do+i+make+a+script%3F+roblox

as adark said, look for instructions in Google... but how I started out is I edited Free Models, slowly learned, haven't been on Roblox for a while, then returned and started all over but then once on my other Account I wanted to get serious, and so in my Game I started making a Deploy Gui (not covering the Full Screen) and so at the Current Point I have the Buttons for both Spawning and Picking a Class... and of course am planning on making more...

There are plenty of resources just a few clicks away to help you learn Lua. Bare in mind that not many of these sources will tell you this, but Lua is case sensitive.

  • Roblox Wiki - it is probably THE BEST website you can use to learn how to script. It will teach you the basics of printing to taking you to how to add developer products to your game. It is packed with tutorials and if you are to ask a lot of scripters they most likely will say they used the wiki to learn.

  • YouTube Just looking up ROBLOX scripting tutorials you will immediately get nearly 30,000 results, even the basics of scripting from ROBLOX. I have used YouTube every now and then and it probably will help you find mistakes in your work since it provides more visual aids.

  • Free Models - Alright you might be thinking, I don't want my game to get called out for Free Models. You can always learn from scripts, sometimes it just helps to be able to translate a script, see what goes where or how a portion of the script works. Just learning from other people's experience will make you a much better scripter easily.

  • Scripting Helpers - We're always here to help. We do not take requests, but if you're ever have problems with a script you can always come to us for advice or help solve a problem. We are here to be a good community filled with people passionate about scripting and will be willing to help anyone who may need it.

I hope you find these sources useful and that they help make you a better scripter.
