So, I know three different coding languages. C++, HTML, and VB..
I would love to learn lua.
I don't know if it's against ROBLOX rules I did read them...
But if it's not a rule. Could someone send me there skype to maybe teach me how to learn the language of lua? Thanks for your time.
C++, HTML and VB programmer! |

I came from C#, and honestly there's very little you need to know. You'll want to look at the Lua docs for all their functions and stuff, to start. Because it's object orientated, you'll need to know about the silly little colon Basically, the colon is equivalent to calling a function(args) with this as the first argument. It's dynamically typed, so you don't have to define your variables as anything specific, so you can have your variables as functions too (You'll understand what I mean and why that's nice) so you don't have to mess about with things like delegates. There is no void return type, because that's just a function. Whereas if you wanted a function to return a specific type you'd have to specify what type it was supposed to be cast to, you don't have to in Lua.
I think that covers most of the important stuff coming from those languages. Anything else just ask, or refer to the docs. |
