What does someone need to know to be considered as an intermediate scripter?

I'm pretty much a beginner scripter right now. I can call objects from serverstorage, set a position of an object and change it's properties use math.random, do instance.new, etc.

But what should I learn more after learning these things? And where? I don't know where to start after learning all the concepts from a playlist on youtube called Intro to Scripting, created by Roblox.

Hello!

If I were you, I would start a project and see where it takes you. Along the way you will learn useful information and become a better scripter.

Something that makes your scripting nicer and more professional is using comments to lay out the area of your code. Even if you aren't going to show anyone your code, you can use this to organize and prevent headaches...ha...

Some people say to be an intermediate scripter you need to know specific things about the language, which is true, however this is not all. To be considered as an intermediate scripter I would say is just knowing some things from memory and the ability to create scripts quickly and efficiently. It's a long way to get there, but believe me, it helps alot and makes you feel like an epic hacker boi.

Happy Holidays! :D

Well, there isn't really a strict line where you're considered as an intermediate scripter. I think you should be able as an intermediate scripter to do a Murder Mystery game with a round system, shop system, maybe not a trading system, but you get it. You should also be able to use datastore and code weapons. For me, an advanced scripter is basically a Phantom Forces developer.

BUT... My TRUE definition of a good scripter, not advanced is someone who is organized. Someone who leaves comments even though he's a solo dev. Someone who leaves spacing.

I think after you finished that dev series from ROBLOX on YouTube, you should go just watch PeasPod's videos, take a look at the Wiki articles, and watch AlvinBlox's tutorials. How I learnt is AlvinBlox, then I took a look at PeasPod, then I went to make a project, and what when I didn't know something? Wiki, get a basic understanding, but not precise, then you can go google search that and find some results. If the answer still isn't there, then just take a look here and ask a question.

By just coming here, you're already a good developer. You're seeking for help and to get better.

Happy holidays!

How to be a good Developer? Or a intermediate Developer?

Well, you can also start learning some basic functions like...

local function onTouched(hit)
	local character = hit.Parent
	if character then
		character.Health = 0
	end
end

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onTouched)

--> When the player touch the part he will get killed instantly [Used on obbys]

Something easy for you. And you will get faster the knowledge you need to be a good Developer. To me [In my personal opinion] a good Dev is someone that is organized, functional and someone that knows what he's/she's doing and how he's/she's doing it. Someone that that take the time to learn the HOLE language of programming of Roblox "Lua". Is someone that even if he/she is a solo Dev leave comments to know what the function or the Table, etc. Is doing there or why he/she put it there. Is someone who puts print staments to check if the code is correctly. Or pcall() to find a error.

In my opinion I consider myself a nubie at scripting. I already read the Lua Reference Manual.

And see almost all the API of Roblox. And even after I did all those things. I keep considering myself a nubie scripter.

So my tip is... Never give up, take the time to learn the language and the API, datastore and algorythms. Those things will get you to your goal, be a "Good Developer"

You can also learn the API of Roblox in the link above...

Link : [http://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference]

And you can also see topics on Roblox DevForum. So you can get notified when Roblox Studio Beta got released. And start developing like a professional.

Link : [http://devforum.roblox.com/]

You can also use GitHub to optimize your workflow and a external Code Editor [I use Visual Studio Code] so you will get better memorizing the API and how you have to write the code. And you will also spend less time coding with the snippets.

If you're interested in become someone you start creating your own games. Well... You're lucky. I'm the "co-owner" of Oceanig Games Entertainment [A indie company of videogames development] if you are interested on joining. Well this is your oportunity.

Remember, take time to learn : The Language, API of Roblox and Algorythms You will not become the best scripter ever on Roblox without taking time to learn all of this.
