• Help - Learning to Code
    2 replies, posted
Hi, I apologise if this is in the wrong forum but it seemed like the most appropriate place to put it. I'm trying to learn lua but am having some difficulty. I've learnt and understand the very basics - I've done the "Starter Tutorial's" from the Gmod Wiki. My issue is that I don't know where to go from here, the rest of the tutorials throw you straight into coding without really explaining many things. Tutorials else where such as youtube in my opinion were found wanting. I have the programming in lua 3rd edition but because of my limit knowlage of other languages I cannot understand it well ( as well as it being a little different to gmod lua ) So I guess what I'm looking for are some tutorials which explain the code well and are somewhere between the starter tutorials and the other tutorials on the Gmod Wiki, just a point in the right direction / some advice would be great. If you're willing to teach me however I will do my best to find a way to repay you :) Thanks in advance.

Figure out something you want to change, and learn how to interpret the code to do what you want. If you want to start out really basic, start with weapons.
