He has been struggling with videos and I do not know how to script. And do not want to but my brother is a great builder.

He's too young. Tell him to learn at 12/13.

scripting is similar to learning a language. it takes time to get familiar with syntax (similar to the alphabet) and learning to express yourself with it (words)

just tell him to read all the wiki guides, all of lualearners and then try to make scripts by scratch. if he can't make scripts by scratch then tell him to modify scripts in free models

10 years old is not too young to learn how to program

I'd even go as far to say that you should learn to code as soon as possible. It could even make math fun to learn.

It will be quite hard to learn at the age of 10. You'd learn much faster at 13ish.

We can't teach a 10-year-old. You have to be 13+ years old to speak/post forums.

I learned the basics when I was 11 and now (4 years later) I am relatively good at it.

I toyed with Lua when I was 10, got a good hold of the basics. Dropped it for 7 years and then here I am, picked up the whole thing in a couple weeks, pretty much.

If you can speak a language before 10, you can learn coding before 10. It's just a language.

I hadn't even touched a computer before 11(I'm 16). I wish I had the chance. I've only been scripting about a year and I wish I'd have been able to start sooner.

If you're determined enough, you can become efficient & good in a few months. But you have to work every day at it. Took me about 7 months to become good.

Tell him to learn C++ instead of lua. Its much easier, and more useful.

Ignore people that say a language is better than the other. When you learn any language, the others take less to learn. If your brother would really enjoy coding in Roblox then Lua is guarenteed to help him learn.

You're seriously toasting yourself? That's just stupid. From what I've seen you do, you're a beginner. No offense.
