Wiki is a FREE source. Why would you buy something that you can get for free?

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Cookbook


Scripting Helpers forum and the website will always help you.

If you can't even read my post, you shouldn't start scripting.

The wiki link I posted was the BASICS of Rbx.Lua language. You will not find a better guide.

You open your Roblox Studio and read the wiki page I sent you. After each example, you try to do it yourself. If you can't, read again and you can even try copy-pasting the wiki's script.

K i have a link for you that shows you the basics of Lua. I am not posting the link actually search it up on google because i can get banned for off links on the forum, lua for beginners and find the one that has the words in the link with lua.gts.(this is like a last resort if the wiki does not help you, don't do this unless you are really desperate).

I learnt from wiki, and a ton of trial and error, I couldn't even properly read output for the first three months I started learning, but gradually everything starts to stick and you start to comprehend it much better.
