Ok I wanna ask you guys some stuff. I'm having a hard time understanding advanced tutorials because basically theres no systematic tutorials out there. All there is are really basic tutorials, and advanced ones. I've read enough basic tutorials to get by with making new spells,monsters,items,etc... However I don't understand lua enough to write my own script such as a quest script. I was wondering if somebody could tell me where to find some middle tutorials that are a bit easier than this.
Tutorials?

The best way to learn would be to have someone help you with it personally, an to examine scripts other people have made and try to figure out how they work
Well none of my rl friends play tibia let alone know how to script lua. And I really don"t have a steady schedule to get help from somebody online. Like I said I've learned a lot from reading scripts and some basic tutorials. But I don't understand advanced scripts and I can't write them. It's good to examine basic scripts, but not advanced ones. Thats like telling somebody to read chinese and saying they will eventually understand it. I'm not criticizing, I just need some help because my old server was too plain, I want to add a lot of events to it, and for that I need to be a super scripter. Anyone have any ideas where I can read some systematic tutorials, not too basic but not too advanced.
Lol you dont need to teach yourself html,css,javascript,php etc... Heres a link for an online "School". It's just a bunch of tutorials, its free you don't need to register or anything.

The thing is there are no lua tutorials written by professionals in a way that lua beginners can understand.

You won't find a lua tutorial that will teach you how to make advanced scripts. You must first learn the basics and learn how scripting works, and how you can use certain functions in different situations to build the script you want.
For example, when you learn how storages and global storages work, you now know how to store information to a player. You then learn how something else small works such as events, storing time, finding the difference between 2 times and so on. With that, you can now remember when a player opened a chest, add timers to add objects to the game, create VIP systems and more.
How will you learn these small functions? You can learn it by practicing writing small scripts and reading other peoples scripts to learn how they apply certain functions in certain situations, and of course reading the function list and trying them! Start small, edit other peoples scripts to do what you want, you'll eventually understand why everything is working the way it does and when you get better, you'll be able to imagine how scripts will work in your head before you even begin.
