Coding LUA

Garry's Mod general
#1

I want to get into coding LUA, and I want to know, is it hard to learn? Are there any good tutorials for learning it, if so, please post some links that could help me.

I didn’t know if this should go into Hardware & Software, but I decided to post it here, if it is in the wrong section can an admins please move it?

Can I just use notepad to code LUA or do I need a special program?

Notepad ++ is the best.

#5

What should I start out as a first thing to code?

#6

Simple HUD_PRINTNOTIFY

#7

Uhh what?

#8

Lrn2Wiki

#9

ply:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTNOTIFY, “MsgHere”)

#10

What do I do with that?

Ugh. Guys, he’s a Lua n00b, and you’re acting like he knows what he’s doing!

About the text editor thing, you COULD use Notepad if you REALLY needed to. Most Lua devs on FP use Notepad++. I personally use vim for my text editing reasons.

And I suggest you read the Garry’s Mod Wiki’s tutorial throughly (read the official Lua tutorial if the Wiki assumes you know Lua basics).
