This topic does not relate to advanced programming topics. You have been reported for spamming.
For help with ROBLOX Lua, please visit http://wiki.roblox.com
There you can find references and even some simple tutorials on trivial scenarios.

Don't bother with LuaLearners,

try the wiki instead.

We let it slide once, and then he does it again, and again, then more see it and do the same. Get with the system of examples.

Learning is a fairly lengthy process and can seem impossible at times but keep at it and you will get there.

Almost everyone i know who can script well says they followed more or less the following path,

1) Go through the initial tutorials on the wiki to learn the basic syntax of the language, how to declare variables, loops, "if" statements after which you will be able to put together almost anything with a bit more practice.

2) Pull apart from free models. change it, rewrite parts of it.
You will get a feel for how the language is used to manipulate roblox.

3) try to script something that you feel is slightly out of reach.
You will push yourself, have problems, suffer bizarre bugs and confusion but you will after a while come through having solved it. At which point you grow as a scripter and you can move on to bigger and better things.

Repeat #3 a few times and you will be able to do anything :)

FORGET THESE GUYS. GO STRAIGHT INTO IT.

http://codepad.org/

Select Lua on the side. START TYPING, SON. TYPE THIS, YO:

local x = 5

WHAT'S THAT? I JUST DEFINED A VARIABLE. VARIABLE. VARIABLE. What's a variable? It's a named "container". Variables have a NAME, TYPE, AND A VALUE, SON. Variables are how you keep track of stuff. You need to start thinking in terms of variables, ma boy. Variables everywhere.

BUT WAIT. THERE'S MORE. What's that = sign do??? X is equal to what? Huh? 5? WHAT? Comparing? NO! Assigning! ASSIGNING. >ASSIGNMENT<. Get that, = is to ASSIGN. So what does "local x = 5" REALLY do?

local x = 5

Let's break it down. "Local" is a keyword that means stuff I'll explain later. "x" is the name of your variable. Think of your computer's memory as a hotel. You have a key - this key is "x" - and you want to get into a room. Find the room that goes with the "x". Inside it is your _value_. That's where the = comes in. With =, you're saying you're putting 5 inside your hotel room. The number FIVE. Number.

See where this is going? Now you have a name (x), a type (number), and a value (5). You've put the pieces together and now you have a variable.

Should I keep going with my ghetto Lua lessons?

He probably knows about the wiki but didn't think about as a resource for learning how to script.

I started with the whole editing free models trick, just changing one or two things and seeing what happened.
