LUA isn't just something you can learn over night. Or a week. It can take year(s) to master.

It's not LUA, it's Lua...

TheVenom,

You can also learn from lua.org, the official links are found in the forum post which xXMADEXx said.

eh, close enough.

(Not really sure why, but I like to refer to file format in all caps... )

Lua itself is not a file format (although "lua" is commonly used as the file format for files written with it) - it is the name of the language and it is not an acronym.

By the way, how on earth could it take years to master Lua? It is one of the easiest, if not the easiest, scripting language(s) out there. Remember: Learning a language's syntax isn't the same as learning to program.

Still, close enough.

The time is based on how dedicated & how much you do it... (Im not just talking about being able to write a basic GM, I mean like very advanced ones such as FFS )

Your joking right? You have no idea what ixjf has made do you?

Apparently not, nor do I care to know.

Not something like "I think that ixjf is a noob scripter."

off-topic:

Dude, stay ontopic, and stop replying on those guys, you know that you can't win this discussion.

And also, he asked a way to learn lua, not to make a gamemode like FFS, ffs, learn to read the topic title, and the topic poster instead of writing to 2 guys who want to help this guy.

csmit195 -> This guy right here is trying to make it a stupid rage war...

[DiSaMe]

Actually, csmit195 tells the truth. Learning a programming language is one of the easiest and shortest, but also the least meaningful processes. For example, I learned PHP in a few hours (could have done even faster) and even though I have only done basic things with it, I know I could do something not so basic (such as forum). The point is, the programming language is just a tool. The tool doesn't make an artist. Experience does. It's not a few hours of learning PHP that makes me capable of scripting a forum. It's programming experience gained in years of programming and logical thinking.

So if you just need to learn Lua, go to http://www.lua.org and read the manual. If that doesn't make the Lua scripting simple for you, then the problem is not about Lua. It means you need practice. Like many other activities, programming is not something you can "learn". It's something that gives you experience without reaching a point where everything possible is already done, since there are no limits. You can always go further.
