Hello, MTA SA Community, i am a really good PAWN DEVELOPER and recently i found this client, i love it because there are not so more limits like in SA-MP, but i have a question, should i learn LUA or is more useful to learn PAWN  because is a C-like language or doesn't matter ?

You should learn Lua, because it's what MTA uses and it's definately not a C-like language. Pawn isn't useful for MTA.

Useful learning resources:

I have done both and definitely MTA scripting is better, as it's well structured unlike PAWN.

You will definitely prefer MTA when you try it. It also allows you to import more objects could be custom. It's based on LUA and XML btw.
