I suggest learning RemoteEvents and RemoteFunctions, and learning to make FilteringEnabled games (aka, what stops exploiters in games by passing events from the client to sever and back again using an Instanced medium).

Coming from a game dev, this is going to be the future of ROBLOX games, so you should get on board now while it is relatively new and you will have an advantage over other game devs.

Learn what YOU think is important. It's like a language.

You don't learn EVERYTHING in that language, only the important things.


But the more you know, the better.

No seriously, ignore what everyone else has suggested and learn FilteringEnabled, remote functions and remote events. It is the best thing to study.

What's the point of learning it if he wouldn't have any knowledge of putting it into effect?

Ehh he will learn, but learning filter enabled requires one to learn like remote event, which is hard (the wiki doesn't even cover that obj properly.)

All the Services. What they do and are meant for. How to use them. I heard on the scripters forum that they will adding a pathfinding service tomorrow. There are many services that are interesting and hardly used. You can see a full list at the wikipage for the GetService method. Take a look at RBXScriptConnection, specifically the wait method. Master CFrames. Know your string patterns. Know how to make Lua "Classes" using tables and the semicolon. Once you've mastered that then you are ready to move onto improving your scripting skills, instead of just learning how to script stuff. Look into data structures in Google and impliment a few in Roblox. Create your own pathfinder. Handle your own camera movement. Create a maze generator. Make diverse and advanced things such as collision detection scripts and string database searchers. Once you've done that you should study the Lua VM instructions and implement your own Lua string.dump parser (I have an example in my free models). Lastly, create an simple, elegant, original game. If you happen to finish it then WTF are you still doing on Roblox? Learn C++ and go build your own game engine!
