Anyone Willing to Help a Beginner? [closed]

Is there anyone out there willing to teach me how to code in Lua for Roblox? I have had very little experience in the LuaLearners website, as it got shut down a week after I found out about it, and I forgot much of what I learned. In summary, is anyone willing to teach me how to script? I would appreciate it greatly. I live in Ireland, so I think the timezone is GMT+1, so anyone in this timezone would make it more convenient for both of us.

The best way to learn Lua and how to script in it is to examine Free Models and Uncopylocked places (that work) and look at the code. The very basics of syntax you pretty much have to ask for, but from that you just have to experiment to figure out what does what. adark 5487 — 10y

Ah! I never thought of that. Thank you. I have found a tutor, but this will definetely help when hes not online, and I'm just practicing in my own time. giantcris123 5 — 10y

I can show you the awnser! First lesson Variables and print. First we are learning how to make a variable. First click at the top of the screen of roblox studio and click view then output and basic objects and explorer and properties. Second go to basic objects then scroll on basic objects to scrips then double click it. Third type in

`1`	`Pizza` `=` `5`

`2`	`print(Pizza)`

Test the game then look at the output and it should say 5 because pizza is 5 and we printed the value of pizza.

Second lesson Functions First insert a part in basic objects then select the part in explorer then double click script with the part selected in explorer.

1function onTouch()
2Part.Transparency = 0.5
3end
4script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)

This make the part ghost like when you touch it. Third lesson string.len In the variable script you made go in it by double clicking it in explorer. Press enter once then type in the script

`1`	`soul` `=` `"Hi!"`

`2`	`print(string.len(soul))`

The output would say 3 because there is 3 characters in Hi! Fourth lesson => and <= Make another line in the variable script and type in it

1Coolness = 10
2Poop = 5
3if Coolness <= 20 or Poop => 10 then
4print("Coolness wins!")
5else
6print("Poop wins!")
7end

The output would print Coolness wins! because coolness is lower than 20 but poop isn't more than 10. --Hope this helps!--
