so we all know that when you first try your hand at scripting or programming with ANY language, it seems little confusing and your like 'i could never learn all this' and for those people who cant be bothered learning at all but still want their games on ROBLOX to function better, ROBLOX should add more streamlined scripting.
what i mean by this is that ROBLOX needs to add stuff like GameMaker's programming, you can still code, but there is an easier alternative, you can click and drag boxes to make games without even typing a single line of code.
along with this, roblox should add a 'transfer to script' button that puts all the boxes you've dragged into script so people new to scripting and have an idea about what's going on.
have I left something out? post your thoughts! |

I was thinking the same. Support.
Should it be BC only? If it was, Roblox would profit a lot from people who want to make great games, but if it wasn't, then the Roblox community could benefit greatly.
The thing is, I shouldn't care whether it's BC only or not, because I can script - but I hate BC. |

No support.
ROBLOX is meant to be a learning experience, or at least that's what it has evolved from. By incorporating a GameMaker-esque scripting system, nothing valuable is gained in terms of knowledge - People who are bad at scripting will, unsurprisingly, continue to be bad at scripting if such a system were to be put in place. It doesn't teach people anything, other than how to use their mouse's buttons.
By only having one method of scripting, users are forced to either learn or crash and burn. It should remain this way in my honest opinion - It was also stated on one of the ROBLOX livestream Q&As that supporting multiple languages or creating an easy alternative wasn't on the playing cards.

| Support. There would be better games made by people and not just OBBY FOR ADMIN! Or MUSICAL CHAIRS! Etc. |

game.Workspace.Part1.Transparency = 1?
It wouldn't be possible due to how Lua works. The script I just wrote, as you can probably guess, change's part1's transparency. You can't reference things like this by having a drag and drop menu, and thus user input would be required. But even so, any one willing to learn can go and do it. I've been scripted for a month now, and last week, my RAP hit 18kR$. I sold out to buy ads if you're wondering why I'm poor again now. Scripting is really easy, look:
for i,v in pairs(workspace.GetChildren()) if v:IsA("Part") then v.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red") end end
That changes all the parts colour in workspace to red.

| Not a had idea, but it's an insult to the wiki writers who have dedicated their time to make it easy and fun to learn. |

| of course scripting it manually will always be more rewarding and powerful though, cause what pattern of blocks on a screen could make Phantom Forces? |

| I think it's a good idea (it's like blueprint coding). When I first learned to code, I learned this way, and it helped me type out code a ton when it came to it. Allowed for me to visualize how it'd go if it were a flowchart. |

No, what wolfgang said.
Scripting is a skill, not a haz.
