Lua programming.

Hey there. I woke up this morning thinking: "Hey. I wanna learn lua!" I looked on the garrysmod.com wiki. And I learned some stuff about some functions and variables. Then i though. Why not try to download and edit a script. To see how it works. So I did. But I still dont have any idea how to make gamemodes, and other lua scripts from scratch. Where do I find the functions and stuff? How do you really learn lua? I have allready talked to chief. But I wanted to hear you guys oppinon.

I went to the garrysmod.com wiki and I learned some stuff about some functions and variables. Then I realized I hadn't really learned anything since I forgot it at once. I tried it practically and failed. After that I complained to myself and gave up.

Hope it helps.

i considered it then though Fuck it im gonna watch anime instead hope that helped =D

You don't learn to make gamemodes in one day, it takes weeks, even months. Download a funny addon or gamemode, like GMDM, and try to edit it.

It will take a looooong time. The only reason why i kept trying and didn't give up, was because i bored my ass off (bmas) in the summer vacation! GOOD LUCK!
