Guide

Start here

The whole guide in order, with roughly how long each part takes.

If you have never written a line of code, start at the top and do not skip. The three pages of First steps are one continuous hour, and at the end of them you will have built a working door and understood every line of it.

If you have programmed before, read Luau in an hour for the twelve things that differ from other languages, then go straight to the recipes.

First steps#

  1. 01What scripts areThe idea, and the fences around it.10 min
  2. 02Your first scriptA door that opens, closes itself and remembers.30 min
  3. 03Luau in an hourThe language, assuming nothing.45 min

How it works#

Read these when something surprises you, not before.

  1. 04How scripts runWhat Save actually does, and why a variable got wiped.
  2. 05How a world loadsWhat exists at the moment your script wakes up.

Working comfortably#

  1. 06Editing in VS CodeAutocomplete, red squiggles, Ctrl+S straight into the game.
  2. 07Trying things aloneTesting without dragging a friend in.
  3. 08When nothing happensThe eight usual causes, in the order to check them.
  4. 09Words you will meetEvery term these pages use, in a sentence or two.

Then what#

Two places, and they point at each other.

RecipesFinished things to copy: doors, shops, weapons, weather, saves.ReferenceEvery verb, every option, every refusal.

You do not have to read the reference

Nobody reads an API reference front to back. It is there for the moment you think "what were the arguments to that again", and search (Ctrl+K) is the fastest way in.
