Start from the beginning on ROBLOX wiki, but get hands on... every time I would follow a script, I would then change it, blah... I'm still learning right now.

I don't get how people learn form the Wiki. It's a documentation subdomain, not tutorials.

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Lua_Help On that page, down below that first paragraph, has a good deal of tutorials that cover all the essentials. If you read (and do) them all you should be pretty good with Lua, but you'll still need to learn all the little things about ROBLOX.

I guess you could say I learned through the wiki. I saw things on the wiki that sounded cool, and some things sounded even cooler /together/. So, I had to learn things that I needed to implement them such as threads and loops. The ROBLOX wiki helped with inspiration that I needed to push me to learn, but I learned more from the Lua wiki & some help from others.

Well I'm just starting on scripting and I have an understanding now of variables, functions and blocks. First I watched this video twice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSQQ9ZchtzE Then I started reading random articles on the ROBLOX Wiki _____________________ The reason why I started to learn how to script is mainly because hiring scripters costs 20,000 robux and by the time I'm finished learning how to script I'll probably have that much. Anyways I'm trying to edit a script that was made by someone else and it seems I have no idea at all what's going on. Every time I figure out something, I assume it might go the other way. the inner machinations of my mind are an enigma

Started reading from wiki, raged quit. watched video. was confused. found a nice player to help me learn the basics, then I took scripts and read them though to understand how they work and try to edit/change them to see how scripting works. Now here I am today.

It's not impossible to learn from documentation. Anyways, I first checked out the ROBLOX wiki and then asked Scripting Helpers a few questions. I got a RBX.Lua book at BLOXCon, and taught myself from there.

I learned from trial and error and long hours staring at the screen trying to find out what in the world the script was doing. I later started trying to make my own simple scripts (most failed). I then started making games. Then I moved into advanced stand alone projects. But now days, the wiki makes it much easier with an entire book about scripting from 0 to 100. Check it out here: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Scripting_Book

I studied roblox wiki and helped on scripting helpers to increase my knowledge one on one with the code.
