I'm currently learning javascript. people say it good to start out with, but i don't plan on taking it anywhere. what i really want to do. is learn lua, but the wiki doesn't help at all.
so i ask you fourms, how did you learn to script on roblox?

the fourms seem to be full of complicated code thats not beginner friendly, so thats out of the question.

| Agreed. Try something like LuaLearners. Oh wait, that is a dead project. |

If you need anything.. It's most likely in the wiki.. I'm the guy that always posts wiki links. |

I took free models and edited the scripts little bit by little bit. Then I tried to construct my own functions, starting with simple things like an owner-only door. Eventually I learned more by coming up with something I wanted to do but didn't know how, so I would look it up on the wiki. It all clicked one day when I realized how the .'s work with accessing other objects and properties, and basically the rest is history. :P

I went to the Lua docs and LearnXinYMinutes. If you have the general understanding of how programming languages work, I'd suggest going in this order for Roblox
LearnXinYMinutes where X = Lua (Basics) wiki.roblox.com (Roblox applications) Lua docs (Lua functions) Lua-users (Advanced applications of Lua) Scripters Forum (Practical applications of Lua in the Roblox evironment) |

Uh. If I were you I wouldn't start at Java.
Lua is a lot different compared to Object Orientated programming, since its not specifically designed for it.
Unlike Java, Roblox's Lua sandbox does not have a class system. You can't declare a public class and then access it from other scripts as you would in Java. |

| Adding on to what clone trooper said. Lua is a lot more beginner friendly as well. |
