To the MODs, I demand this to be sticky'd, this tutorial is very helpful for newbies at LUA scripting, so this deserves(even on its current stage) to be sticky.
Thank you!

How do I know what "local" to use?

You used gain, I had no clue.

I would try with

local addCreatureMana = 750

or

local addMana = 750

So how do I know what to use in the "local"?

What is the right function do do this:
If you hit an egg with a weapon (on use), than the egg will be destroyed and a monster will spawn in the middle. It's a quest also .

By the way: http://lualand.net/
Awesome site for 0.4 functions.

Your loops samples, they loop at the glimpse of an eye right? What about making 1 second exhaust between a loop, how to do so?
So instead of
execute script:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 (in 0.001 seconds).
1 (1 sec)
2 (1 sec)
3 (1 sec)
and up to 10 with 1 sec interval. That way you can imitate a clock, a ticking bomb etc.
etc...

local SOMETHINGWEIRDNAMELOL
Is a local storage where you store a value. You can then use the value later.

local LOLWTF = 200
--- local storage LOLWTF has value 200
--- you can make as many local storage as you want.
--- you can choose whatever name you want for your storage.
--- you can choose whatever value the storage have. 

if getCreatureMana(cid) < 100 then
--- If creature have LESS mana than 100 then:

doCreatureAddMana(cid, LOLWTF)
--- add mana, value is fetched from our local storage. 
--- If you want to choose another value, choose another storage or edit the value of LOLWTF

else
--- If you have more than 100 mana.

doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "Sorry this mana pool is only for people who are low on mana!")
end

I red this tutorial, knew some basics before, but if I hadn't it would be really hard to understand anything, really. There are some mistakes, but only graphical. Last 3 parts were missing examples for me, I didn't get them. Thanks for the tutorial, anyways, helped a bit .
