Hey as a 9 year veteran on Roblox and a scripter on the platform, I would say learn the basics to programming like functions, variables, arrays, dictionaries, and basic math.

A few years back when I wanted to learn Roblox scripting I ended up buying a copy of this book and it was fantastic. Thanks for recommending this book to a larger audience, it deserves more recognition!
I bought the book, and even though I'm already an "advanced" scripter, I wanted to see it as it could inspire my friends. It's brilliant, even after 5 years of scripting, this book can still solidify my expertise and reinforce some other things. Appreciate it
animation: become a film buff / cinephile scripting: practicing and morphine / studying building: get a degree in architecture modelling: be good at blender VFX artists: watch studio ufotable animes SFX artists: be a parrot GFX: photoshop
vfx for me was just ore-creation for this game called "REx:R". Every ore in the game is basically made of particles & it really helped me get off the ground with vfx because there's curators and a community that can help
Hey currently on Chapter 4 Functions of the book. Even tho am not a book guy the guide teached me more than any other video i've ever watched on scripting. Thanks for recommanding that book !
I taught myself using the roblox docs website, I didn’t need video tutorials or a book. I learned how to code pretty well in about 3 months with this too.
Thanks for telling about this book! I tried scripting a little bit, but I felt like I couldn't understand it good enough. I wish your content to get more recognition!
@@oscaar9003 It's going pretty good, I've done some progress. I'd say I can make a little project, but I still need to learn about more complicated stuff.
This is a such a well edited video for such a small channel, keep up the passion king, you'll make it one day, i believe in you bro, and im proud of you
you already know it's going to be a fire video when Ludius says "Lemme tell you a quick story" (In all seriousness I am so glad to have a found someone on hear who explains everything as quickly and efficiently as you do, I really hope the Algorithm starts pushing out more of your vids soon)
Jajajajaja, "lemme tell you a quick story" gonna be iconic at some point. Also we're growing more and more every single week. We gonna make it, and your comment really helps with that so thanks a lot for the comment!
I learned scripting from just making different games over and over again and its more fun but it takes more time than learning from tutorials or books.
Interesting way of learning, if you did that without having a scripting base I'd be actually surprised. Anyways, keep leveling up and best of luck in your journey! Also thanks for the comment :]
Honestly, that is kind of what I did. I would make games and then if I ran into an issue I would look out how other people tackled the problem and use their scripting methods into a blend of mine.
what I did after watching the first couple tutorials is just figuring out which methods/things I need, to make what I intend to do and if you just experiment from there u WILL learn fast. To learn you just gotta do it. (And instead of copying word for word from other scripts just go through the script and really make sure you understand what it does and what methods they use.. from on there you can make the script without copying word for word)
Learned Lua in 3 months + scripting, 3d Modeling. Made around 148k Robux by doing Freelance and got heavily into Programming and learning other languages. Definitely worth the try.
of course! keep going and improving, It's great so far, but we can always improve! :D I appreciated the "professional" tip of buying that book, that's pretty relevant information!@@iamLudius
Im an animator trying to learn how to script (I can script simple stuff like a sprint and custom diaglouge text box but thats the most) So this was actually VERY helpful, thanks a lot!!
i learned luau entirely from making edits of server-sided scripts such as Blind Reaper and figuring out what things do, how things work, and how to make it do what i want it to do, and eventually it got me to where i am now
I use the dev form, Roblox docs, and other people scripts and just reading them. I also create small projects to learn and practice my scripting skills, it seems to help a lot. Somehow all of this led to me getting 5 million visits. Small developer still.
also, a very good way to assist you in learning how to script is by looking at other people's code and trying to understand and figure out what it is doing
i remember seeing this book and i was considering to buy it but skimmed through it and decided not to. i really recommend this book, but if you want to take the longer easier path, learn off from free models and the devforum like i have done for 5 years
a great playlist that helped me start to code was by CovertCode. For some reason he was the only one that had me understanding. A big part in learning is also experience. Try to do things in roblox studio without copying a playlist, make a challenge for yourself.
I remember when I went to a B&N I saw this book and I got it. I hadn't touched in a while, but this video reminded me that it was literally on my desk. Maybe I should try scripting?
I mean if you’re already advanced in another developer skill then focus on the one you’re already experienced in. Otherwise, if you feel like scripting is more appealing to you then go with scripting. In either case it really won’t hurt trying it out and experimenting. Also, thanks for the comment I really appreciate it :]
As a small roblox dev making a game called "Untitled Crossroads Games" after I made the game I found out that I had a scripting type of power, for all those roblox noobs out there, practice always makes perfect, so please practice, most small devs get lazy at practicing.
the problem about making games is not only scripting is enough sadly I only mastered scripting thus I cant make a good game wish I could learn animating so I can actually make a game
@solidracer7947 Animating is so much easier than scripting. I picked it up really fast and I still can't script anything. Just apply all your joints for your character with the Rig Editor and move the joints around. Just get a feel for it for awhile then actually make a simple wave or punch.
I'm a roblox scripter, builder, GFX artist and more and have been doing this for 6 years. Luckily, I only taught myself by watching youtube tutorials on very simple things like 'how to detect when a UI button has been clicked'. I started to understand the assignment after a while and knew some of the basics in roblox scripting. I kept teaching myself more things (sort of accidentally) and now I'm still progressing through my scripting journey. Things like the roblox devhub also really helped with my journey. I would definitely say to non-scripters that they need to learn the basics first like variables, functions etc.
Wonderful book! I found out about the book through this video and since I bought it, I have more programming knowledge about Lua than ever before. Definitely would recommend this.
Just bought the book! I've been a builder for 4 years now and I want to finally start making my own games without paying other people to script for me :D
I've gone through a quarter of the book so far, and it's definitely a slow process for me. I have a hard time with memorization, and scripting is a lot of memorization on top of trial and error
@@KAAMAAL194i personally think its great ism used to reading i read everyday so i guess i prefer it to yt tutorials i understand why it wouldnt be ideal for some people though
@@nerdy8644 Bro, he only started making actual tutorials a month ago, i aint checking every ytber there is. Like if you just time travel two months back and look at his channel, he only has some videos on how to create certain mechanics. So what IS about alvinblox??
Hey Ludius, I noticed theres a new version of the book by the same person that's more up to date. Would you recommend that one over the one showed in the video?
Yeah, I haven't read the updated version yet, but, you can start by reading the one you have, it's still crazy good and it's not super outdated to the point it's useless, it's actually still pretty useful. Thanks for the comment :]
I dont know if its valid but im a 2 week dev and already scripted flashligh, viewmodels(2), a gun , an axe, and really simple Ai, and a door. First of all dont use vids that tell you exactly what to do, use the forums and dont steal the code but look at the concept. Also you gotta make sure you have set goals. Also try to be veeery comfortable with the roblox UI. And lastly try to learn as many services as possible and how to use events. I was a unity dev and maybe some skills like math have transfered but in a little time you can do it too!
Ive wanted to get into coding for about a year now but never really understood it ill be watching your content because of this video and you inspired me thank you ill be ordering that book as soon as i can (:
I learnt the basics of lua through stormworks monitors, as I wanted to use them for my creations. you have to do so much compacting bc the 4024 character limit
2 answers (jajaj): 1. Yes, TheDevKing tutorials are still incredibly good in 2023 2. Yes, it's probably better for you to get the newest version of the book (Also thanks for the comment :] )
@@iamLudius One more thing: Whats the difference between the language's luau and lua? I was kind of scared when I heard about luau because I was mainly focusing on learning lua.
Also, there is an updated version of the book you all may prefer to get. This version was published in 18/2019. The updated one was published in 2022. However, if the date isn't an issue for, you can also get the official "Coding with Roblox Lua" book. It's practical an easy to understand. It also gives examples and exercises to complete. There's also the official "Roblox Game Development" book Which you are meant to read after "Coding with Roblox Lua".
I think so BC everyone is using it and I don't think Roblox code as updated just the functions and a couple stuff being implemented to be easier and smoother
this book taught me how to script in lua, I was a builder (a pretty sucky one at that) until i got this book. 0 real tutorials before the book, and now I can actually script. Still don't really udnerstand the x in pairs thing, but it's a great book
I purchased an updated edition of the Heath Haskins book hoping that i would gain some insight on how I could understand scripting more (because I've been struggling to understand the FUNDAMENTALS of scripting for over 2 years as of now) but the book doesn't even do that for me unfortunately.
I don't doubt that the book is worth it, however on top of the $300 of other books i have to buy for this semester of college I can't buy it yet. Btw I really enjoy your videos the way you present the information is better than any other scripting tutorials I've found. Also TheDevKing's tutorials are now five years old and kind of outdated. Im going through BrawlDev's tutorials now which seems to be a good recent replacement.
imagine taking months to learn scripting. i simply learnt basics and now when i have problem (mostly advanced problems) i got in forums or docs and get my answer and then i learn or ask in the roblox studio community
Hello. I'm new to this video and I just have a single question that isn't really related to scripting but do free models work as good models? Hopefully you or someone else will answer me.
Hey man me personally i am still learning Roblox lua and i have purchased the advanced book but also the one that says in 24 hours in my opinion i like the second better but its just opinions i guess
yoo i actually have that book, the second i saw it on this video i ran to go get it ive been coding for a few years and i felt like i didnt make much progress, but when i got that book it felt really simple and i started to understand how to do a lot thedevking is also a very good scripting channel
Also another thing you need to learn scripting is roblox’s official documentation. They have all the info you need also sometimes the dev king’s tutorials are outdated so I recommended getting the book and reading the docs.
My general problem with scripting is the fact that shortened commands or whatever you call it are hard to understand. I can only make a NPC walk to a part, dialogchoice, or actual dialog (using label text guis) and the rest confuse me as they just don't fit together to make a sentence. But i am slowly learning.
Hey as a 9 year veteran on Roblox and a scripter on the platform, I would say learn the basics to programming like functions, variables, arrays, dictionaries, and basic math.

@@nerdy8644 No, you don't get it. Let me translate real quick "Scripting is easy, but hard cuz"... nevermind.
"Typing is easy, the hard part is learning the language"
@@DaHakuu Exactly
Should I get the updated edition of the book or is the normal one fine?
im spending the money to buy the book, hopefully its as good as u say.
i tried the book, its not that great and youre better off finding the information online.
Bro thank you so much, last time I tried to learn the people would just say things that aren’t actually useful
Subscribed, thanks for the help!
i have that book. im gonna read it so thoroughly
Awesome, I bet you will level up a lot just by reading it. Best of luck on your journey and thanks for the comment :]
I don't doubt that the book is worth it, however on top of the $300 of other books i have to buy for this semester of college I can't buy it yet.
Btw I really enjoy your videos the way you present the information is better than any other scripting tutorials I've found. Also TheDevKing's tutorials are now five years old and kind of outdated. Im going through BrawlDev's tutorials now which seems to be a good recent replacement.
as someone who just learnt what instances do and owns a copy of that book, i can confirm that im fully locked in. Thx for the advice bro.
how much is the book and shd i buy? i want to learn
idk i forgor long time ago
imagine taking months to learn scripting. i simply learnt basics and now when i have problem (mostly advanced problems) i got in forums or docs and get my answer and then i learn or ask in the roblox studio community
for people that want to stil kinda go trough the basics: how to code lua in 24 hours, the book is a solid 8/10, great for beginners
It really is
Hello. I'm new to this video and I just have a single question that isn't really related to scripting but do free models work as good models? Hopefully you or someone else will answer me.
Hey i was thinking about either purchasing the older edition or newer edition of the book, does anyone happen to know if either is outdated or not?
thanks for tthe info, im mainly a youtuber but i wanted to get into deving
Best of luck bro :]
Hey man me personally i am still learning Roblox lua and i have purchased the advanced book but also the one that says in 24 hours in my opinion i like the second better but its just opinions i guess
I’ll probably check it out when I have some free time then
this man is the fast talking man in ads irl

I'm the 6k th subscriber
yoo i actually have that book, the second i saw it on this video i ran to go get it
ive been coding for a few years and i felt like i didnt make much progress, but when i got that book it felt really simple and i started to understand how to do a lot
thedevking is also a very good scripting channel
Hmm, it seems quite a few people also had the book already, that's awesome! Make sure you read it entirely :]
Also another thing you need to learn scripting is roblox’s official documentation. They have all the info you need also sometimes the dev king’s tutorials are outdated so I recommended getting the book and reading the docs.
I think I just re-discovered my motivation to learn programming...
Let’s goooo
Hey! Just as a question, I'm starting to make devlog videos, and i wanna know what editing software you use! Thanks!
I just use the free version of CapCut, thanks for the comment :]
Thanks! Your the best!@@iamLudius
Making small and small systems is the best way to go you wont get anywhere without reading and searching and trying nothing starts easy
I dunno why I'm getting this video since I don really wanna code, but you konw what? I'll save this video, maybe get this book when I get money
no way. Before I watched this video I’ve already been watching the dev king , and I’ve had that book too and been using that 😂
LOL
Wait should I get the old book or the updated one?
I'd say getting the updated one is probably better since it's more updated. Also thanks for the comment :]
@@iamLudius np I can't wait to make some games I've wanted to make for years
I remember wanting the book so bad when I was a noob, but I got through strong👌👌
Even tho I bought it, I wish I had read it earlier. Thanks for the comment :]
np@@iamLudius
theres an updated version of the guidebook, would you say that its just as good as the original?
My aunt bought me the coding book when i was young, now I can fianlly use it 😄
My general problem with scripting is the fact that shortened commands or whatever you call it are hard to understand. I can only make a NPC walk to a part, dialogchoice, or actual dialog (using label text guis) and the rest confuse me as they just don't fit together to make a sentence. But i am slowly learning.
Personally, I grinded the lua and roblox documentation plus forums, and it got me to where i wanted to be pretty fast
