How to Script LUA
Hello, And welcome to the instructable. Today I am goin to teach you how to script in LUA. Now, you may be wondering, Why the heck would I want to script in LUA over Python or JAVA. Well LUA is a light weight easy to learn scripting language, also it is used in roblox studio. It is not a bunch of 1's and 0's it is like block coding except the blocks are words.
Supplies
A devise where you can type things.
Finding a Free and Easy to Use Scripting Platform.
I would recommend https://repl.it/, because it is free and there are over 60 different languages available to you.
Signing in is easy all you have to do is sign in with an existing google account. once you are in, it will ask you what language you use click LUA, and one other random code (python recommended for the other option).
once you are in click the plus sign on the top right and enter the LUA option and title it whatever you want (recommended LUA notes or something).
