Searching For LUA Courses

[Black Dove]

Iam Looking Forward To Be a Good Scripter To Make My Own Scriprs
Would Anyone Help Me With Usefull Links ?
I Checked Tutorials Of @Evil Hero And Know Some Basics
Dunno What Should I Do To Upgrade My Skills
I Think My Scripting Knowledge Is 0%

Hope The Awesome Otlanders Scripts Tell Me How Did They Start Their Career To Follow Them
ThanQ

Best way to learn is to practice, look at other scripts for examples and try to use that to make your own scripts.
If there are certain things about Lua you don't know you can also type it in google with the word Lua, then you will find links to Lua tutorial sites.
Result of table, time and string:

First you should download Notepad++ and then you have to copy and organize your server/doc/functions.lua to your new Notepad++'s auto-complete folder. This will let you save over 80% of time for scripting. From links what Limos wrote in his post, only the first one is a must to learn. Rest are almost useless in basic scripting of Open Tibia and you will rarely use them. To do advenced scripts you have to learn perfectly tables and loops first. Without that your scripts will have over 25kb size and you will waste over 5 hours to write them. Instead of 20 minutes and 2kb size.

As I wrote: Notepad++ with auto-complete, then tables+loops is a must!

I didnt know you could do that!!! lol wow

 

[Limos]

Actually, he doesn't have to start to learn anything before using it (I think you misunderstood my post).

Just start making simple scripts and use other scripts as examples, the more you learn, the more difficult scripts you can make.
If you don't know the right names for functions you can find them in luascript.cpp and Lua functions lists.
Or if you need to know something that is not ot related but just Lua in general you can type it in google as I explained in my post above.

lol it's easy if u are advanced
u can write a code in 10 lines , but advanced can write same code in 2 lines , and it will give same result

@andu i know notpad++ is good but i use sublime xD i think sublime is better than notpad++

Notepad++ for beginners I'd say.

Of course, people learn in many different ways, but I became good with Lua by learning from examples.
I'd find a working example of a script, go line by line figuring out what is happening, as well as being aware of the syntaxes.
Learning to write code is not something that can be done overnight, it is probably going to take months for someone to master Lua.
