Learning how to script

Codecademy works or you could do tutorials made by Roblox itself like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LiaEDui2vE

There is a really good game on roblox called Lua learning with lots of interactive lessons and its all free! i can higly recommend

Honestly just do trial and error. That's how I learned the basic syntax and functions so you get to the point where you can learn more on your own now (for example, finding out how to make more efficient functions).

For example:

function returnThing() --Not significant in performance, but uglier and less efficient
	if (statement) then
		return true
	else
		return false
	end
end

function returnThing2()
	if (statement) then
		return true
	end
	return false
end

I'm self taught so, trial and error, lua.org, roblox dev forum or roblox api thing, roblox game developing.

I dont recommend yt tutorials, there just stretched for revenue and a waste of time, not all but most. Reading forums, sources etc is a better way of learning.

Check this out it is very good for teaching you to script.

this is a very good tutorial on how to script

It helped me to get some ideas for my own projects by looking at some case studies of other companies. You can combine them and make something of your own.

To be honest, I can only recommend watching TheDevKing or AlvinBlox's tutorial videos on learning Lua from scratch.

In my opinion TheDevKing is better because he explains it better while AlvinBlox explains it like you already know what he's talking about and TheDevKing makes it look like typing "ABC"
