Like say I learn about while true do and I understand it perfectly. About 10 minutes later I'll forget everything I learned about it. Is there any methods to remember scripting better?

Practice it. Sure, you can read and understand it, but until you use it, it won't be in your memory.

Keep the wiki open while you work on your script so you can go back and look at it later if you get stuck or something. Also, I've learned that the more you use a specific part of Lua a lot, for instance, the Destroy() function, it will become second-nature before too long, and then you won't even need to open the wiki anymore!

There's no supplement for learning other than direct application.

Memorizing is not understanding.

It isn't based on memory, but rather understanding. You should know how it works if you keep at it try and understand what it does.

As others have said, just keep practicing.
Though don't focus on memorizing the syntax as much as understanding what the code does - this way you can apply it to multiple languages more easily.

@sayhisam I understand what the code does. If you give me a script I could read it and tell you what it does. However, if I go to make my own script I have no idea what to do.

Of course you can, in the same way that I could read a French quote and tell you approximately what it means, but I couldn't write my own because I don't speak functioning French.

That question doesn't have one answer.
