mostly because roblox lua is incredibly intuitive (it's basically english?) and the roblox wiki is a giant resource for such materials.

"Roblox LUA is basically english"

I must've been born a native speaker because I still don't understand scripting. I even took a class on it during Freshmen year.

Scripting languages aren't all the same. Some are easier to learn, some are harder to learn.

I've looked into so many scripts and tried to understand them. Couldn't get past any of them.

So I'll sit here and assume that ROBLOX LUA is the harder language to learn.

GO TO THIS YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/user/PeasFactory

He makes scripting lessons that are super simple to understand a 9 year old can get it. Watch and listen from his Beginner's Tutorials all the way to his Advanced and you should have a pretty good idea about what Lua really is.

There is also pighead10 and CodeTheorem on Youtube, both really good but slightly more advanced tutorials for after you've finished with Peaspod's lessons.

After you've done that, go to the wiki, read everything there is to know about Lua, learn and understand the basics to the root and then go to the advanced stuff. Once you start learning about cool stuff like Trigonometry ( Triangles ) and Camera Manipulation ( moving the player's camera ), you'll be really happy you started.

It's not as hard as you may think, it's just the english words we all know and love teaching a computer how to do cool things, where to retrieve the necessities to do the cool things under certain rules.

You'll learn in due time, just give it patience and your best work, and you'll be good at Lua scripting.

First learn high school algebra. Once that makes sense scripting will start making a ton of sense. Obviously that's not the only way to learn it but that's how it starting making sense to me.

You need to have a complex mind to script, you also need to know just a bit about math and computers.

If you don't know any of those things, starting completely new in scripting will be a challenge.

Ive heard that it can be helpful to just dissect the scripts inside of free models so that you can understand what they are doing
