When they start the video with STATS for stuff like difficulty, course duration, etc.. you know you're in for a very good tutorial. Thanks in advance!!
I'm impressed of the dedication of you replying to every question 9 months later, a sign of somebody dedicated of teaching. Watching this currently, planning to learn LUA for personal projects.
As someone who learned with the modified Roblox Lua, I can see now how some of the concepts are used like Data types and Tables. Thank you for this tutorial :)
@@Thekki I mainly learned from people like thedevking, they're all over TH-cam and some of the concepts that this video has can be compared to their beginner series :)
there were times that I had to watch sessions repeatedly to understand the topic well.. but it was worth every second. Thanks for this Course I love it
I just wanna say thank you for this course because there aren't many courses on TH-cam and if they do exist they aren't as comprehensive than yours. Again thanks for making this amazing course 👍
A very well-structured and well-paced introduction to lua. I've been wanting to learn to code (outside of scratch 🙃) for a while now so after deciding on lua I was so pleased to find this video. I'm only about half an hour in but I can already tell that the rest of it is gonna be better and faster than learning in school.
Thank you, I am currently working on a big project in roblox studio with my friends. This really helped me understanding more of these things in lua. Thanks Teacher!
as somebody that comes from c/c++ and overall low level languages but needed lua to configure nvim in depth i’d say this is a pretty cool course, everything is understandable right away even for new comers, cheers
I can really say this basics are teaching me to love Lua i cant wait to start making simple srcipts on roblox studio theres so much to learn so little time Thank you for teaching us Lua trully appreciated.😁
Taking a break after doing 2hrs. I have really learned a lot so far! Some of the concepts were hard to grasp at first, but once I played around with the values and saw the results, I was able to manipulate things with previous sections and that really helped me understand and tie things together. Thank you for the lessons! Looking forward to the rest of the video.
I am overjoyed that someone finally decided to make a course over Lua(I've been waiting 5 years lol), this was way easier to understand than the online Lua book and I just wanted you to know you're awesome.
Thank you so much for this tutorial, I attempted lua 4 yeas ago when i was new to cs and software engineering and it was a pain but after learning python and c++ alongside ur explanations it really helps make it simple
This is really amazing. I'm learning to mod Dawn of War II Retribution to mod the AI, as it uses a modified version of LUA called SCAR (Scripting at Relic). This course will definitely come in handy!! Thank you so much for making this course!
I understood what you meant by the boxes and local and global scopes. I´ve always had issues with learning programming languages. My brain cant handle the information all at once. But this was really well structured and easy to follow. I will follow it through. Thank you!
I never heard of Botmas, I heard of Pemdas (please, excuse, my, dear, aunt, sally) parenthesis, exponents, multiplicaton, division, addition, subtraction PS: you cleared up modulo so well for me I was struggling with it, it basically adds the smaller number up until it reaches the limit and how far it is from the maximum number is what's left over, modulo of 7%3 3+3 = 6 (1 left over)
Thanks, this was really useful! you explained things in a simple way, and I like how the video is more naturally made, and everything isn't all perfect because seeing some guy who does every single thing flawlessly is a bit intimidating because coding really isn't like that, no one is perfect.
Hello, thanks for the tutorial! One quick question which might be followed by many more, when I use \v to make a vertical tab, and run the script, it doesn't actually do a vertical tab but instead inserts a symbol. What is the reason for that, and how can I fix it? Edit: I've read on another comment that apparently it is a difference in builds or something, despite me also having Lua 5.3, the current version doesn't allow \v to work, but I still don't know exactly what the solution to that is. Still it's not urgent, worst case scenario one can just work around it.
39:10 in, and my gosh! This is the most well explained so far introduction to Lua! It's starting from thhe bottom and building its way up! All without feeling scripted, or missing anything! Much love!
Thanks so much, I was using an online terminal since i was on chromebook, I couldn't do working with files all the way to metamethods. once i get my pc I will practice more with lua but until then shall I learn more commands. Im in incoming dev. I WILL SAY THIS words of advice. I recommend you do python ( JUST THE BASICS, at least to the point you can do functions and the random.choice() command) THIS KNOWLEDGE allowed me to learn lua better because it was VERY similar to it.
Just made it to the 2-hour mark! I've been a sole 3D modeler but thought it was time to start dedicating myself to learning a coding language. Thanks a lot for the vid!
We have finally finished (about 10 hours in all time spent working on it, taking notes etc.) . A bit fuzzy still on some of the OOP, but I think this course was a really good base for my Lua journey.
@48:07 The recently released Lua VM (Luau 9) does not parse vertical tab characters as whitespace, and throws an error when they are used in source code.
Love the video, my journey has begun today and I'm glad it started with you. Next up is python and so on, I'm excited to see what the future holds. Thank for finally getting me to sit down and learn.
I might as well finally type thank you, haha. I've clicked on your video so many times. It was funny when I searched my first problems and got also your videos. =D If your curious it was how to get VSC terminal to recognize lua. Thanks agian.
I'm currently working on a Lua project that involves handling tables with a specific structure. Each row in my table is expected to have exactly 16 columns, but some of these columns might contain nil values, including trailing nils at the end of the rows. I am encountering challenges in accurately counting the columns for each row, especially when nil values are present. I need a robust way to iterate through each row and accurately count all 16 elements, including nil values. The solution should be able to handle rows where nil values might appear in between data or at the end. is there any solution please ? i tried to use #row but it didn't work correcty
this is amazing, ive never had such ease learning something in my life, let alone an entire coding language. im only halfway through the video but i can perfectly recall everything youve taught so far and im having so much fun. i cant wait to see what im able to do by the end of the video
First of all, course is great, thank you for that. And secondly, I want you to ask how can we operate some operations on arguments of a function when we passed them with three dots(...). I mean, if function is like function xd(. . .) and i passed it 3 values. how can i print first and third one without loops?
Easy! local function example(...) -- the below code will convert the ... into a table local values = {...} -- now you can use it like a normal table print(values[1], values[3]) end
Lua is actually still very famous for game dev (Love2D and some other game engines), and even more so for game modding, I hear it is especially popular with GTA V modding (fivem) Whilst Roblox probably takes the majority of the popularity, Lua is still popular for a lot of other things outside of it ;)
This is an amazing course! Even tho i can already do some Lua, it was still great for some things that I did wrong! Thanks for creating this amazing course!
@@vinding4086 I see, it's great to see others here who share this. I have gotten a greater understanding of Lua as far as I've come. It's been tough to find time to study, but I try to make room for it. Lua is definitely much easier than most other languages. One factor being for me personally is that it's not really an object oriented language, making it much easier to grasp, although that has it's limitations alongside it. All I advise is you is to take time practicing and making your own little small projects with Lua so you get handy with it, as you try to do your own small yet quick projects you will find certain things that you don't know how to take to and you explore the resources around and learn a new things and this is a cycle I've seen to encounter. It can be frustrating at times when you can't find the syntax in your code, or you don't know how to approach those errors within - but that's all part of the works of learning and making mistakes.
for the ternary operator: local old = age > 30 and true or false can you leave out the "and true" part of the line? so it becomes local old = age > 30 or false
In fact, it is perfectly fine (in this scenario) to just say: local old = age > 30 Since age > 30 returns true or false Using 'and true or false' is something you'll only use in very specific cases, but most of the time you can leave it out :)
sorry just wanna correct you in 35:00 , it does 2 * 10 first, and then divided it by 2. Multiplication and Division has same priority and are done from left to right, same goes to addition and subtraction.
That's a pretty good explanation, maybe the shortcomings in this video are the sound that is not clear and the frame drops every second of the video. But yes, the content of the video can still be understood👍
