Hi Scripting Helpers.

Im really intrested in scripting.

Im learning some HTML and C++, but Im also fascinated by Lua and would love to learn it.

Though I have a problem.

Learning through reading makes things hard for me, so I thought someone from this section of the forums might help.

I do know some basic stuff of Lua, like the really simple things.

Hopefully someone would be my tutor :D

(Before you write something like, "Go to Dingdong72's tutorial". I've been there, but as I said, reading makes things harder for me)

@Darkmist: That question makes no sense.

@piepiechris: Tutors are often unreliable, and I don't suggest learning through one. I suggest using either one of the many guides on the ROBLOX Wiki, or learning from a more reliable source, such as Stickmasterluke's Youtube scripting tutorials, or sdfgw's tutorials (on his profile).

@Crazy, my guess of what he means is that C++ is used for more programs and useful stuff.

You all seem to be forgetting you can't use C++ on ROBLOX. Which might just give a hint as to why he wants to learn lua... C++ if veeery different to Lua in most ways its mainly the things that almost all languages have in common that it shares with lua...Buut its so easy to lean a new language when your familiar with another one you understand the terminology better and have a better idea of how it all works...

Ooooh yes...You try making a script on the lua demo it can get quite confusing when you want to use a function like wait() but its not there...

Yep, I'm pretty much learning the basics from lua.org, after that I'm gonna make some libraries and maybe include wait() in it. Someone had told the source code of it before.

I don't think so, people also had found out the Delay() source code too and it uses coroutines too.
