- You only need that one thing I mentioned to learn how to script. You'll just have to take my word for it. Best of luck on learning Roblox Studio and in your journey as a Roblox Developer.
As always, keep leveling up, stay safe, and I'll see you when I see you, peace.
Hey as a 9 year veteran on Roblox and a scripter on the platform, I would say learn the basics to programming like functions, variables, arrays, dictionaries, and basic math. These components will allow you to read any documentation on Roblox developer forum explaining all of the APIs like data saving and you will be able to understand the code as well as build onto it.
This is definitely true, being able to get info from the Dev Forum is really a life saver.
Also thanks for taking the time to comment :]
Thanks for letting me know dude
I though bro was 9 years old 😂

animation: become a film buff / cinephile
scripting: practicing and morphine / studying
building: get a degree in architecture
modelling: be good at blender
VFX artists: watch studio ufotable animes
SFX artists: be a parrot
GFX: photoshop
That what it really feels like tryna learn these skills right? jaja
Thanks for the comment :]
Ufotable is real, EA sfx are just🤤
vfx for me was just ore-creation for this game called "REx:R". Every ore in the game is basically made of particles & it really helped me get off the ground with vfx because there's curators and a community that can help
animation is so real ngl
i agree with building
A few years back when I wanted to learn Roblox scripting I ended up buying a copy of this book and it was fantastic. Thanks for recommending this book to a larger audience, it deserves more recognition!
It definitely deserves more recognition right? Also thanks for the comment :]
But how much dose it cost?
@@RubinNexhipi Depends where youre buying it, i found it for around 16 bucks on amazon.
Me too but I didn't get it buying it, I got it for christmas.
@@RubinNexhipi its like $4-$5 at walmart and im sure if you find a used one you can probably almost get it for free
I used TheDevKings tutorials too and now I've been successfully scripting for around 3 years
What did you gain from scripting like do you have games if you have games what is your roblox ign can I look your games
I taught myself using the roblox docs website, I didn’t need video tutorials or a book. I learned how to code pretty well in about 3 months with this too.
Well, that’s one way to do it :]
can you tell me more about what the doc website is and where i can find it?
@@hachi-mon8717 you got google you dont gotta wait weeks for youtube commenters to tell you ts 😭🙏
@@hachi-mon8717 it's roblox's documentation site, just google for it
AGREED THE DEV KINGS PLAYLISTS ARE THE BEST! Sadly his new videos are trash..
Bro didn’t pull his punches jajajajaja
what about alvinblox
@@nerdy8644 Bro, he only started making actual tutorials a month ago, i aint checking every ytber there is. Like if you just time travel two months back and look at his channel, he only has some videos on how to create certain mechanics. So what IS about alvinblox??
Fr those Brookhaven vids cringe af
@@nerdy8644 What's about him?
I'm really impressed with the quality of your videos! Thanks for the tips. Hope you grow your channel and keep it up! :)
Thanks for the positive words I really appreciate it. Also thanks for the comment :]
Yet another legendary video from the one and only Ludius! I'm waiting for the day the algorithm decides to recommend your videos to people.
Damn bro, I'm waiting for that day too. As always thanks for you comment, I really do appreciate it and it really does help me :]
it did.
it did thankfully
The most underrated channel i have seen, im a 3d modeler looking to script and this vid UNLOCKED it
I’m so glad I was able to help you!
Also thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it :]
This is a such a well edited video for such a small channel, keep up the passion king, you'll make it one day, i believe in you bro, and im proud of you
Thanks for telling about this book! I tried scripting a little bit, but I felt like I couldn't understand it good enough.
I wish your content to get more recognition!
Aye best of luck on your scripting journey and thanks for the positive words. Also thanks for the comment :]
Yoo, should I get the updated version of the book?@@iamLudius
Have you been trying to learn still? If so how’s it going now
@@oscaar9003 It's going pretty good, I've done some progress. I'd say I can make a little project, but I still need to learn about more complicated stuff.
Your videos are underrated as man, I can tell you are going to get big one day and i'll be here waiting and watching. Keep going bro!
Thanks for the inspiring words bro, I'll keep putting in the work!
Also, thanks for the comment :]
Ive wanted to get into coding for about a year now but never really understood it ill be watching your content because of this video and you inspired me thank you ill be ordering that book as soon as i can (:
I bought the book, and even though I'm already an "advanced" scripter, I wanted to see it as it could inspire my friends. It's brilliant, even after 5 years of scripting, this book can still solidify my expertise and reinforce some other things. Appreciate it
Yup, it’s pretty useful. Also thanks for the comment :]
@@iamLudius No problem. Also keep up the content, it's amazing!
can I please have your discord I need your help with scripting
Hey bro do you have discord and could you add me I'm trying to learn scripting
Hey currently on Chapter 4 Functions of the book. Even tho am not a book guy the guide teached me more than any other video i've ever watched on scripting. Thanks for recommanding that book !
did you get the updated one?
@@dojurin is the updated one or the one in the video better?
@@burning_duck9624 I got the updated one
@@burning_duck9624 Its the Updated one:)
Ludius: wanna know how to script?
also ludios: Buy a book instead of me teaching you
he did his job
Im an animator trying to learn how to script (I can script simple stuff like a sprint and custom diaglouge text box but thats the most) So this was actually VERY helpful, thanks a lot!!
So would it be better to get the Updated Version of the book or the version you mentioned in the video?
Something I noticed was that the pace of the video kept changing. The information is great. Stay strong 💪
Yeah, unfortunately I didn't pace the speech correctly this time...
Also thanks for the comment :]
of course! keep going and improving, It's great so far, but we can always improve! :D I appreciated the "professional" tip of buying that book, that's pretty relevant information!@@iamLudius
as someone who is developing a game that is gonna be filled with lots of stuff, i need dis
you already know it's going to be a fire video when Ludius says "Lemme tell you a quick story"
(In all seriousness I am so glad to have a found someone on hear who explains everything as quickly and efficiently as you do, I really hope the Algorithm starts pushing out more of your vids soon)
Jajajajaja, "lemme tell you a quick story" gonna be iconic at some point. Also we're growing more and more every single week. We gonna make it, and your comment really helps with that so thanks a lot for the comment!
Yo u earnt a new subscriber, im starting my scripting journey today thanks for the help!
Best of luck in your journey and thanks for the comment :]
hows it goin bro
how's the journey going
what I did after watching the first couple tutorials is just figuring out which methods/things I need, to make what I intend to do and if you just experiment from there u WILL learn fast. To learn you just gotta do it. (And instead of copying word for word from other scripts just go through the script and really make sure you understand what it does and what methods they use.. from on there you can make the script without copying word for word)
I agree, after learning the basics just start seeking experience and start observing how others do their things. Thanks for the comment :]
great and smooth explanation keep up the good work!
I'm glad you liked the video. I'll will definitely keep up the good work :}
Also thanks for taking the time to comment, it really helps the channel!
means alot@@iamLudius
Hey so I was looking into getting back into game development seriously with Roblox and I was taking a look at this book on Amazon, and I was wondering if there are any outdated scripts or significant errors in the book?
bought the book and watched plenty tutorials. learned how to do a lot in less than a week!
I also did the watch and replicate for months on end and it gave me a very solid basis for further scripting
Yeah it's a very good way to learn I'm not gonna deny it.
Also thanks for the comment :]
Thanks a lot for your great guidelines it helped a lot
Hey @ludius! I want to buy the book, but there is a new version, which one should i buy? Thanks.
I loved this video because it was useful and helpful for me, So....I subscribed.
And thanks for everything..
Hey Ludius, I noticed theres a new version of the book by the same person that's more up to date. Would you recommend that one over the one showed in the video?
Yeah, the updated newer one should be better
Nice pfp, tuxe
you too@@redhandedninjastar
Ge the new version the old one is outdated.
Should I get the updated edition of the book or is the normal one fine?
Hey i was thinking about either purchasing the older edition or newer edition of the book, does anyone happen to know if either is outdated or not?
where do i get this book? been searching for a while but cant seem to fins the exact book?
pls help.
I saw there was an updated version of the book would that one be better?
The same Author made a updated version in 2022.
Is the older one better or should i stick with the new one?
I actually read this book like 2 years ago and it did help me a lot lol
It is very useful
this book taught me how to script in lua, I was a builder (a pretty sucky one at that) until i got this book. 0 real tutorials before the book, and now I can actually script. Still don't really udnerstand the x in pairs thing, but it's a great book
Hey, i decided that i will buy the book but now in 2024, there are 2 copies a new updated version and another old one (the old one is the one you said in the video) So which book i get and also do i buy the book before TheDevKing tutorial or after it?
My general problem with scripting is the fact that shortened commands or whatever you call it are hard to understand. I can only make a NPC walk to a part, dialogchoice, or actual dialog (using label text guis) and the rest confuse me as they just don't fit together to make a sentence. But i am slowly learning.
How good is the book if they’re constantly changing removing adding new Variables to Roblox API?
I'm glad you say that, I literally had the book sitting on my desk
Awesome, now time to read it! Also thanks for the comment :]
i learned luau entirely from making edits of server-sided scripts such as Blind Reaper and figuring out what things do, how things work, and how to make it do what i want it to do, and eventually it got me to where i am now
Dang, that’s a very unique way to learn :]
Also, there is an updated version of the book you all may prefer to get. This version was published in 18/2019. The updated one was published in 2022.
However, if the date isn't an issue for, you can also get the official "Coding with Roblox Lua" book. It's practical an easy to understand. It also gives examples and exercises to complete. There's also the official "Roblox Game Development" book Which you are meant to read after "Coding with Roblox Lua".
You may or may not have just saved my life.
Woah, hope you’re doing well man and best of luck in life :]
yeah so i ordered the updated book, is that book still as good?
wow this acually helped me so much! (and supprisingly i already have this book for some reason lol)
Awesome, you gonna level up for real when you read that book.
Also thanks for the comment :]
Should I get the newer version of this book or the old one???????
Hello i tried reading the book as a first timer and stopped because once it came to tables i stopped because the book was severely outdated and i watched a playlist didnt work because after watching it i still didnt knwo how to script so if you have any answers please help me on how to script
Hello. I'm new to this video and I just have a single question that isn't really related to scripting but do free models work as good models? Hopefully you or someone else will answer me.
Never understood how do you mash strings into a working and an actual script
anyone know if the book is free or not or how i can get it online?
I bought this book years ago and never touched it but I found it again and I’m gonna use it 😭😭
If I have a basic python foundation how long do you think it will take for me to finish a scripting basics playlist and that book?
Well, it should take you 3-4 months to finish and master the basics provided on the book or playlist. Don't watch the playlists, just get the book.
Also thanks for the comment :]
I recommend everyone to check out if their local library has the Heath Haskins book, was able to grab a copy of it today :)
As someone with a "Coding In Lua" book I could say I do not need that other book.
thanks for the video, i'll be sure to check out the book
Thank YOU for the comment :]
should i get the updated edition or the edition you showed me
I remember when I went to a B&N I saw this book and I got it. I hadn't touched in a while, but this video reminded me that it was literally on my desk. Maybe I should try scripting?
I mean if you’re already advanced in another developer skill then focus on the one you’re already experienced in. Otherwise, if you feel like scripting is more appealing to you then go with scripting. In either case it really won’t hurt trying it out and experimenting. Also, thanks for the comment I really appreciate it :]
I'm litteraly becoming a roblox game maker machine. Learning scripting, building in roblox and modeling in blender, VFX and sounds. I swear-
That book solidified my base and taugh5 me more
I learnt the basics of lua through stormworks monitors, as I wanted to use them for my creations. you have to do so much compacting bc the 4024 character limit
I searched the book and damn it was so expensive for me because im in another country and then theres two version of them.
First one is the original and the second one is the updated one which one is better
theres an updated version of the heath book from 2022,, do you know if its worth it? or is the original better
Get the updated version :]
Is this book still relevant because it was released in 2019?
should i get the updated version or no
Also another thing you need to learn scripting is roblox’s official documentation. They have all the info you need also sometimes the dev king’s tutorials are outdated so I recommended getting the book and reading the docs.
i remember seeing this book and i was considering to buy it but skimmed through it and decided not to. i really recommend this book, but if you want to take the longer easier path, learn off from free models and the devforum like i have done for 5 years
Nice comment, yeah I guess depending on the person watching a videos could be better initially. Thanks for the comment :]
Personally, I grinded the lua and roblox documentation plus forums, and it got me to where i wanted to be pretty fast
I’m guessing the version you showed in the video is better but just in case there is an updated version is that one worth getting over the older one ?
I think so BC everyone is using it and I don't think Roblox code as updated just the functions and a couple stuff being implemented to be easier and smoother
I love the dev king I followed dev king he is who I personally would recommend no matter the date unless it frost work its a good base
Making small and small systems is the best way to go you wont get anywhere without reading and searching and trying nothing starts easy
imagine taking months to learn scripting. i simply learnt basics and now when i have problem (mostly advanced problems) i got in forums or docs and get my answer and then i learn or ask in the roblox studio community
im trying everything currently, tutorials, playlists, the roblox documents but yet after i managed to learn some things i do not know what to do or how to apply these skills. I dont have much money for the book is there like a sorta of free digital version of it?
I don’t think so
a great playlist that helped me start to code was by CovertCode. For some reason he was the only one that had me understanding. A big part in learning is also experience. Try to do things in roblox studio without copying a playlist, make a challenge for yourself.
Oh, I'll take a look at the playlist later. Thanks for the comment :]
My aunt bought me the coding book when i was young, now I can fianlly use it 😄
this man is the fast talking man in ads irl
Jajajajajajajja
yoo i actually have that book, the second i saw it on this video i ran to go get it
ive been coding for a few years and i felt like i didnt make much progress, but when i got that book it felt really simple and i started to understand how to do a lot
thedevking is also a very good scripting channel
Hmm, it seems quite a few people also had the book already, that's awesome! Make sure you read it entirely :]
what if i do it all? the coding, the graphics and everything else?
I have the official Roblox Coding in 24 Hours book is that still helpful?
yo where can i buy the book bc i live in the phillipines
hello, i found the same exact book but it says updated edition, do you happen to know if it includes everything the old one does but like additional stuff or if its completely different than the original version?
the updated version is much better, it fixes a lot of the outdated code
im doing that thing again where i spend 2 weeks trying to learn how to script (but then give up)
lets hope i dont give up this time
how are you doing with scripting rn? You got this, just practice your scripting, make simple stuff at first (changing properties, assigning variables, if-thens and loops, etc) and you’ll be able to script well before you know it :D
@@Camdenominator changed to developing games in godot after a few days, since roblox is the worst for getting people to play your game.
@@vVearon alright, best of luck 🤞
Searched up the book there is the one you showed and apparently the guy made a updated version imma just get the newer one cuz I know the basic basics but idk how people plug everything together I know variables and math and all that but it was from the game Lua learning but it didn’t teach me anything bout connect: and if do etc
hey. i've been scriping for 4 years already, and i know some basics stuff, like functoins, variables, can change properties of instances, use remoteEvents, etc. I've learned it mostly from free models and youtube tutorials. Should I still buy that book?
If you have the money to buy it I highly recommend you do. But it seems like you already have the basics down and what you need to do now is concentrate on making projects to get practical experience.
Thanks for the comment :]
should I read the updated 1 or og
link to the book?
i kinda really want it
One issue, i am from Serbia, and serbia cant order from amazon, where tf do i get the book then!!!
also, a very good way to assist you in learning how to script is by looking at other people's code and trying to understand and figure out what it is doing
Yup, I 100% agree, but you gotta know how to do the basics first. Anyways, thanks for the comment :]
I remember buying this book actually a few years ago. It is indeed good and I just want to clarify that I also recommend it.
My friend got that book for my birthday
I NEED TO CLARIFY
IS THAT UNDERTALE OSTS IN BACKGROUND
THIS BOOK IS THE REPRESENTATION OF MY HOPES AND DREAMS!!
Hey! Just as a question, I'm starting to make devlog videos, and i wanna know what editing software you use! Thanks!
I just use the free version of CapCut, thanks for the comment :]
Thanks! Your the best!@@iamLudius
As a small roblox dev making a game called "Untitled Crossroads Games" after I made the game I found out that I had a scripting type of power, for all those roblox noobs out there, practice always makes perfect, so please practice, most small devs get lazy at practicing.
Spoken like true developer :]
the problem about making games is not only scripting is enough sadly I only mastered scripting thus I cant make a good game wish I could learn animating so I can actually make a game
For the book they just released a updated version from the same guy, I bought that one instead
Will it be better?
Yeah, it’s probably better if you get the updated version
Hey man, im trying to work on a game but I’m pretty bad at scripting and building, even though that this video helped me a lot. I could still use some help! Could you help me?
Lol I used Roblox studio for 6 years now and never felt like scripting but always wanted to so I guess I'm gonna give it a try
i have that book. im gonna read it so thoroughly
Awesome, I bet you will level up a lot just by reading it. Best of luck on your journey and thanks for the comment :]
Should do a tutorial on how you learned to edit videos
as someone who just learnt what instances do and owns a copy of that book, i can confirm that im fully locked in. Thx for the advice bro.
how much is the book and shd i buy? i want to learn
idk i forgor long time ago
I use the dev form, Roblox docs, and other people scripts and just reading them. I also create small projects to learn and practice my scripting skills, it seems to help a lot. Somehow all of this led to me getting 5 million visits. Small developer still.
This is also a very good way to learn. Btw, thanks for the comment :]
I learned a lot from dev forum and roblox docs as well.
