Learning Lua. - Developers - Facepunch Forum

Hey There, My name is Panda (Not in real life though). By reading the title you would probably have had some idea of what I am about to ask/say. Basically, I love playing Garrys Mod, but I want to be able to use LUA on it. I know some basic knowledge on programming. But wish to learn LUA so I can do alot more in Garrys Mod. [I][U][B]What rescources I would like:[/B][/U][/I] 1) Links Guides and Tutorials 2) People who will help me out 3) ANY ANYTHING ELSE YOU GUYS CAN OFFER I will really appreciate this and it will be really helpful. Thanks -Mr.Badass Panda

[url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com[/url] <- Your main resource, find everything there about Garrysmod lua. [URL]http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/index4875.html?title=Main_Page[/URL] <- Your optional resource, if the above link doesn't have something, this link may, it's the old wiki and has more pages about stuff, but lacks the new stuff in gmod 13. [URL]http://www.lua.org/pil/1.html[/URL] <- The official lua documentation, use it well. It's never spelled LUA so don't do that. Oh and there's lots of tutorials on both the first and second link for scripting, so look there. And people here are mostly friendly for questions, just look at the wiki's first though, or give google a search if your question been asked before (hint, type "site:facepunch.com <myquestion>" in google to force results for facepunch)

Once you learn a bit about Lua, go do some tutorial projects and take a look at other people's code. The best way to learn coding IS to code. Eventually, through doing projects of your own and other people's, you'll get an idea of how to use Lua. Also, I would reccomend getting Sublime Text Editor, and Falco's syntax hilight thing. Makes your code look all pretty like this. [URL="http://gyazo.com/f6d159e16f834211463767e7f2d56203"]http://gyazo.com/e759b9c43a5a7f8f7f8d3acec472c03c[/URL]

Also, don't be afraid to ask questions. It can be intimidating to ask questions here on Facepunch, but if they are valid questions chances are someone will help you.

I think you would need to take that up with one of the mods, we can't really do anything about it.

I'm guessing he's referring to a post that no longer exists -- removed by said mods, perhaps.
