How To Script On Roblox

Scripting is hard, complicated and is just not as simple as the rest of roblox gameplay. I believe the roblox wiki sucks if your new to scripting, the way they wrote it was as if they thought you were as good as they were at scripting, but you forgot how to scrit, they used terms you wouldn't ever have heard about.

You have to learn Lua first. The best place to learn is from the Roblox Wiki. My favorite article is 'The Absolute Beginners Guide to Scripting'. It is very helpful. You can also learn Lua from Lua reference manuals. Yet another way you can learn is by dissecting free models and looking over the scripts inside, trying to understand what the script does. But be careful when using free models, for they can infect you place and completely destroy it. (Note: Infecting scripts do not effect you computer, only your game on Roblox) To insert a new script, click Tools in the top left corner, a whole bunch of tools will pop up at the top of your screen. Then, go to the top of your screen, and click the Insert. Next, click Object. A window will appear in the middle of the screen. Find Script, click it, then click Ok.
