Ive been trying to find a website or something where i can learn scripting easy, not just for roblox but for apps as well

Using the roblox site isnt very well b/c it just tells you what to do and not why/how, which when i say that, i mean it cant use it to learn other things myself. also you forget stuff easy

Ive tried alot of places but none have proper good teaching code

I want something simple, where you learn what happens/how it happens/why it happens

something that relates back to it so its not easy to forgot what you did last

something not to difficult to the point you dont understand what your doing at all

and finally something that is coding to create games, not html and stuff



Even if its a roblox game thats good id do, tbh i did find one good one with exactly what i needed some time ago, but the place went down when the user changed accounts, it was so easy to understand why/how you could learn so much it was stupid

but since it shutdown im stuck again and i need something on or off roblox to help

suggestions?

Script while reading from site.
It worked fine for me.

Lua isnt worth learning for anything but roblox, nothing popular uses it.

I suggest learning other languages from codecademy or something.

Or youre going to report me?

Reporting for dumb reasons doesnt make people want to help.
Also, I helped you, dont start whining.

"game.workspace.(char)name.Humoid.DestroyHead()"
lol.
workspace.CHARNAME.Head:Destroy()

"What i want to do is where are the caps used/why"

generally keep everything lowercase except if an object has a capital name, then match the name (like workspace.Part if it's named Part, but workspace.part if it's named part)

As far as variables, just use the standard camelCase where the first letter is lowercase and each new word has the first letter uppercase. Or, some people prefer this_method for naming variables.

If you are making a constant, those are usually indicated with capital letters, like
local PRICE = 50

"also why () is on the end. becuase if i learn that and not just what i see it will make my life so much easier"

() is used at the end of a function, because that is where you pass in variables, or parameters, or arguments, or whatever you want to call them. So for example,

:Clone() has no variables to put into the function, it simply clones it, so you leave the () empty.

:FindFirstChild() needs the name of the child to find, so you would give it a string...
:FindFirstChild("PartName")

Also if you are defining a function...

function testFunction()
print("Test function was run :D")
end

Now to call that, we would say testFunction() somewhere else and it would get called and print that.

But if we said this:

function testFunction(whatToSay)
print("You said: " .. whatToSay)
end

then if we call that function with this: testFunction("hello!") it will print "You said: hello!"

@Lord

better answer

but if someone comes onto a helping thread saying

">Its my fault he doesnt Remember crap with his small Brain capascity"

thats extremely rude considering i did nothing

and if you didnt know im actually very smart irl

Im just new to scripting and he thinks im dumb b/c i want to learn the fastest way possible. "which is obviously smarter"

long answer but you get your explanation

I do not think that Roblox is used to learn scripting but if you forget a script you can come back to it.
