What I would like is like a book that tells what every scripting word means and what it does

wow u people are just now learning to script?

well i am an expert scripter i can script planes,regens,tele,boats,trains, etc.


lemme tell u somthing learning lua scripting can be very hard and can take many years for example i was 10 when i started learning and using lua and now i am 15!

it took me 5 years to learn most of the scripts.so this may take u awile.and some advice:read the wiki and pick a lua u wanna learn and read it over and over again until u fully understand it.i read the how to make commands tutorial 23 times until i finally learned it and then it took me about a month 2 make it work properly.to make it work preperly u nood to always be careful of what u right in ur script this is what u do

1.copy and paste the script from the wiki into the script in ur place or u can do it my way type it in manualy like me
2.then change some of the things like timing and allowed in vip or urnamehere things and fret buttens on guitar hero games also have to be inserted manualy.
3.then test it 5 times and record the results
4.if it dosnt work all the time check the script and redo all of it and redo step 3 again
5.next make sure the lua is inserted into the right brick if ur making a regen or morph
6.WARNING:THE SCRIPT MAY COLLAPS IN ONLINE MODE

well something that WILL come in handy is outside-value's. say i want a strin(hello world!) that's not in the script. how i would do it is this: put a StringValue(go to Insert -> Object then to StringValue) rename the value "Stringer" and put it in the same place as the script. in the script put this:

name = "SomeName"--whatever here

function ForFun()--that's what this is right?
string = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Stringer")--find's the object
if string ~= nil then--if the string is real then
value = string.Value--this is the string itself.
if value ~= nil then--if the value is real then
print(name.."Is My Name and Roblox Is My Name")--the' ..' connect's string's.
end--if you don't end a statement it will go on forever looking for a end.
end
end
ForFun()--this run's the function. function will not run unles something makes
--them

in order to see this you will need to go in edit mode and run it or solo mode. if you don't have the OutPut on(one of THE best tool's every!) go to
View -> Output. here will come up with error message's if something in a script is wrong(very handy)
