So I need help because I want to learn scripting and I learned a bit off the wiki but I don't know what else to learn besides the beginners series. Would somebody help me?

Think of things you would like to make and then go about making them using the wiki.
Eventually you will come across things you have not learned yet and you will be forced to learn them.

scripting, you should learn the beginning to scripting, then you should learn some of the gameplay section to learn how to apply the scripts to roblox, once you understand how some of the gameplay section works, then you are ready, if you ever get lost, look at the API page and look at what Instance you want to work with

Read:

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=AllTutorials

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Scripting *

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Debugging

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Category:Scripting_Tutorials *

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Variable

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Cookbook

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Scripting_Book * <-- So every chapter (next chapter always as a link at the bottom of the article)

lua DOT org / manual / 5.1 * (I suggest skipping chapter 3 and 4 and things on the filesystem)

I suggest reading most See also links and reading every see also links from the pages with a * and clicking on links in the articles which you do not recocnize

Also check out http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class_reference and click on objects (and all services) you do not know yet and read their article

Then try more specific stuff yourself

NO, I don't like using youtube channels and I know you want views.


I want to stick to the wiki because I can actually practice while I read and I can understand more then somebody just typing like a noob playing phantom forces typing:

"h......i....... g.....i.....z.....e.... t...oo....ddd....a...y.. i ...... play......... ph........ a .....n....t....oo.......m......f.....o.....r...c....e....s.."

You need to calm down, lol.

"I know you want views."
Yeah, I'd love more views- the purpose of my channel is to help people - not ungrateful snobs like you. Notice how my content is purely scripting and development?

"typing like a noob playing phantom forces typing:"
But I'm probably a better typist than you? My typing speed is also 116 WPM. Wby?

"Even as a kid I was not as stupid."
I'm stupid? Check yourself and come back when you're more knowledgeable than I. Come back when you're in a position to pass judgement on others. You're a mere novice. Boy..check yourself.

"You're a mere novice. Boy... check yourself" seriously, you're being edgy ## #### right now. and coming from someone who didn't even understand the practical applications of metatables up until a few days ago, i don't know if you can put yourself on that high of a pedestal

edgy kid triggered other edgy kid 2016

I didn't say I didn't understand them - I asked what practical application you found for them, as I haven't yet.

oop, misread. Anyway, so what if I don't find a use for metatables in my code? If I can do anything else fine without them?

I'm not saying you're incompetent, I'm just saying, you should probably "check yourself" too before you make these bold and brash statements.

mm I hate to argue anyway but I only put myself on as high as a pedestal as I already am above the *beginner* who made the brash statements about how he thinks he's too good for me and I'm stupid and blablabla
