Okay, let's take me as an example.

I am a mediocre game developer, I can create some power-ups (and power-downs). However, I can do no more than that. Here's my dilemma.

I try to learn stuff from the wiki to pick up on tools and saving data. No progress, because it's too far locked away for me to understand, and even if I DID find it, I would need to learn another locked away thing to even wrap my head halfway around it.

So I go on the forum and ask for help on these topics. Either people send me to the pages I've already found, provide mediocre assistance that doesn't work, provide something I have to pay for (seriously, man? I wanna make it myself, since I don't have a budget that covers even R$100!), or not even provide any means of assistance or feedback whatsoever (these are the biggest jerks).

So, lastly, I give up and go to find a tutorial on YouTube. Completely outdated, or completely trash. (generally the latter category. No offense.)

Now, take my dilemma, and MULTIPLY IT BY EVERY OTHER PLAYER ON ROBLOX WHO CAN'T SCRIPT FOR THEIR LIVES.

See my pain now?

Sounds like you don't understand the basics. There's also a good chance you're searching how to do very specific tasks, instead of learning, as previously said, the basics.

You can ask me questions once you come across them. Also, try watching (and doing with) instructional videos, like peaspod. There are many instructional you tubers for scripting blah blah blah

if you see a wiki page and u dont understand it then you need to try something more basic, or break it down. you're obviously a beginner and you don't know the fate of scripting so stop trying

Let's just hope he doesn't suddenly admit to a self-diagnosed learning disability

*Gladly accepts that I have to take things slowly and give it time to learn how to make an actually decent game*

Furthermore, I put that name there as bait to bring in people who can solve the dilemma.

It worked rather well.

Don't take it to heart. we scripters are spiteful creatures

That "face slammed into the dirt" metaphor was very fitting though, I gotta say

I was working on thumbnail editing earlier, and I just decided to make a parody of One Piece, so that's why I look like a One Piece Jag.

but i totally am a one piece jag

...Or maybe I'm just mistranslating the "OP" abbreviation you keep giving me.

"Oh, hi. I'm highly superior to you. Get out.

I am intelligent, capable of scripting with a slight bit of decency"

your problem is that you are trying to learn how to accomplish specific things instead of learning the language as a whole

once you understand Lua then you can make anything

try actually learning the language before trying to use it
its like trying to speak french without learning it first, all you know is what other people have said and your repeating bonjour bonjour and trying to edit what there saying without understanding it.
