How To Make Mods For Garry’s Mod

Curious about getting into designing mods or maybe dabbling in game design, but you’re too newb to do so? No worries, I got you covered. There’s an introductory course for Lua scripting and modding for Garry’s Mod.

There are two series of videos you can watch below that will help you learn to code in the Lua language, which is why Garry’s Mod uses to read modification add-ons. Now the first set of videos uses an older method for making mods in GMod, but it’s still a great starting point for beginners since it’s a step-by-step process getting acquainted with the technology and the language itself.

The newest version of GMod now uses Steampipe for updates and has some other major modifications made in the way it reads and accesses data. Nevertheless, the tutorials below are still very helpful for newbies aiming to get in on the programming or modding scene.

The first set of videos are just a basic walkthrough of learning what tools and techniques you’ll need to further yourself in the language of Lua. The second set offers a bit more of an in-depth look at utilizing your Lua skills to perform more advanced techniques and modifications.
