Looking for a great place to learn LUA

[Phoenix-Roleplay]

Hello again MTA!

Well, I am here because I am looking to learn LUA, I have tried the LUA website and almost every darned tutorial related into that site. I know the basics and I have the MTA functions down but I am looking to get more experienced to be able to further develop my server into the next stage. I have looked all over and can't seem to find one that is blatant about it and doesn't make it to complicated to comprehend. If anyone knows a good site or possibly a place where they teach you LUA it is very appreciated.

Regards,

Chris Canfield

If you don't understand LUA site tutorial contents, then better to search something else to do.

Anyway, try that one: http://lua-users.org

It's not that I do not understand it it's just it doesn't go detailed enough or does it seem to show the more 'expert' level of scripting for LUA.

I am trying the website now, thanks!

If you have the basics down, the best thing you can do is find something you want to make, and then... make it.

[Phoenix-Roleplay]

I suppose. I decided to just go through my script, think of everything possible I could want or need and do my best and what happens, happens. I presume I am waiting on suggestions.

You could make a IG calc.

[Phoenix-Roleplay]

Alright. What does everyone mean by that? Literally a IG calc... I see this over a bunch of threads.

[Jaysds1]

IG means In-Game.

Calc means Calculator.

[Phoenix-Roleplay]

Yes I know this, I'm saying to learn lua.. I should make a IG calculator.. Well that will be a lot of busy work..

[Jaysds1]

True, but it would be worth it if your learning Lua.

[Phoenix-Roleplay]

That actually sounds nearly impossible

[Jaysds1]

, Are you talking about making the Calc GUI or the Learning part?

[Phoenix-Roleplay]

Oh the learning part of course.. NO! The calc lol

[Jaysds1]

,

well, it could be easy.

[Phoenix-Roleplay]

Depends on what kind of calculator you want to make

[Jaysds1]

Just a simple calc.

[Phoenix-Roleplay]

Well that wouldn't be too difficult.

I'm not sure what the obsession about calculators is about. How will that help you to learn scripting for MTA? A calculator is the last thing you will be making, lol.

[Phoenix-Roleplay]

Not unless you decided to have a RP server that was as close to real life as possible and wanted to have a actual calculator as a item, or if you wanted to make calculations in game, which is pointless.
