Try learning a language other than roblox lua first.

I would suggest python.

There are a lot better tutorials and books out there on other languages.

Once you master another language, you will be able to easily understand lua and you will be a much better scripter.

roblox embedded lua is easy enough to learn, than having to learn another programming language.

I'm just saying that there aren't a lot of helpful, accurate, or decent lessons for people who would like to learn lua, so you might be better off learning another language first.

Plus, when you learn another language first, you can learn some higher level concepts that you don't learn when you only script in roblox.

I'm saying that it is better for you to learn another language and then lua if you want to learn lua.

I'm saying that there isn't really any good resources. They don't teach you the basics of programming. They just kind of have you "memorize" how to do things.
