If you have 0 experience with coding then
go to your local library and get a beginner's guide to programming.
else
on amazon, search "Roblox Lua" and look for Brandon LaRouche's books. I use them, and they helped me, but they have some bugs in the code, but the forum is here to help out

end -- see what I did there?

These are all tips, but I taught myself. Just edit, look at free models, and post questions on Scripting Helpers Forum (this.)
