• Starting off With Lua
    5 replies, posted
Hello, I started off a while back with lua, watched some tutorials, read some articles on the Garry's Mod wiki but when I started to code things I started off way to big. Could anyone leave suggestions for what is good to start off with? Just simple things please!
I'm learning myself and I'm making a very basic gamemode it's super easy to change and mess with things. Just play with simple gamemode GM: functions and have fun. I also find it really helpful if you actually have something you want to make to work towards because it motivates you to learn all types of things.
Yeah, I like screwing around too, I have the most fun and learn from trying to crash my game via code errors so I know not to repeat them, I also understand that I would need motivation from my own things, I have ideas but they are too big for my current coding knowledge, I'm currently making a simple stove cooking addon
For coding Lua, and test GLua, I use this IDE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjyZcLYl9qg I contributed quite much Lua learning and examples here : GitHub Hope it helps ;)
I will definitely look into some of these things but I'm looking for more of gLua not Lua, will still check it out though
Chat commands can be relatively simple or complex depending on what you would like to do with them. You could also try creating some SWEPs as that will give you experience with entity creation and manipulation.
