I've had this idea for some time, but never posted it because its probably hard to make, and I just dont think anymod would make it or even try. My idea is to make a translator to easily make scripts.
Ex: English: If this brick is invisible then remove it.
Lua: If game.Workspace.Brick.Transparency = 1 then game.Workspace.Brick:Remove()
or if that is too hard then just make specific words for it and make a guide with all of the words.
I have this idea because the output doesnt make sence most of the time and doesnt even say anything sometimes! |

No point really, Lua is pretty simple as it is.

Kuser is right. That would also take the point out of programming. Programming is talking to the computer in human-readable language, it is already simple enough. |

| Not when it is advanced like Cframe changing and the best example I have is Davidii's Survival 101 tools. |

sure, but it would need to be simple like:
"make brick.(namehere) transparent"
Or something. |

If someone even did make it, where would it be.
My Ideas are 1.RobloxHQ or 2.Wiki or 3.Somewhere else on this site. |

| It was me. I abandoned the project though. English is intrinsically flawed. You can be too vague, with too many possible scripts. |

| Remember what I said, Roblox Team could just make specific words for it so there is not so many possibilities. There could also be a guide in the wiki that has all the words. |

| Er, you would still have to word things in a weird way, so it would be better to just learn LUA. It's really not that hard anyways. |

| Preach it! This is a good idea! That will make everything easier. I could say Lightning in sky. Bam done! |

Incorrect! Lua is only easy to understand if (said user) knows Lua, already.
I challenge you to teach a new Robloxian (said user) Lua in a short amount of time, maybe a week. |

I think this is an excellent argument and the general idea is flawless. Here's my argument:
Let's be real here people, half of the amazing scriptors and builders on ROBLOX don't go on to be the programmers and architects of tomorrow! They might interpret their power into some space of work but that's about it! This is a KIDS website. kids who want to make games. Why? Not to grow up to be a programmer, but just TO HAVE FUN! That's all the 11 and 12 year olds of today want! FUN. How can they have fun if they can't make the best game possible? Why can't they? They don't understand Lua. Bringing me back to this argument.
A English - Lua translator would make alot of sense! Kids can now make the games they love just by telling the computer what to do... IN ENGLISH! Imagine the amazing games that can happen if we DO interpret this! ROBLOX would turn from regulare kids play advanced scriptors games to scriptors playing other scriptors games and having fun.
But Flare! ROBLOX is a building game! If it was a full out building game... why is Lua here? not to make a better "building" game! More than half of scripts don't even concern buildings of any kind!
But Flare! Children won't understand it! Then don't use it. You can make an awesome building or game by using the free models available.
But Flare! Can you script?! I can't, but my game is still pretty fun, eh?
I rest my case. |

"ROBLOX would turn from regulare kids play advanced scriptors games to scriptors playing other scriptors games and having fun."
Correction: ROBLOX would turn from regular kids playing advanced scriptors' games and having fun, to being able to MAKE their own games and have fun all-around! |

| Something better to put in is a script word bank. Listing functions and the like. |
