Are you feeling stuck trying to learn Roblox scripting?
You want to start, but you have no idea where to begin.
You see all these amazing games and think, “I want to make that,” but scripting just feels… overwhelming.
I’ve been there.
But stick around, because by the end of this guide, you’ll know exactly how to start scripting on Roblox—even if you’ve never written a single line of code in your life.
Step 1: Start With the Right Beginner Guide
If you haven’t already watched my Beginner’s Guide to Roblox Scripting, that’s your first step. It covers:
- Basic syntax
- Fundamental scripting concepts
- How to piece together your first working script
Tip: Don’t just watch the video. Follow along in Roblox Studio. Try every line of code yourself and experiment as you go. That’s how real learning happens.
Step 2: Stop Trying to Make a Full Game Right Away
Yes, your end goal might be to make the next viral Roblox game—but don’t start there.
Instead, start by recreating simple features you like from popular games. For example:
- A button animation from Pet Simulator 99
- The UI that pops up when you’re near an egg
- A simple coin collector script
These small challenges help you learn real scripting concepts while keeping things fun and manageable.
Step 3: It’s Okay to Look Things Up
When I started scripting in 2021, I used to feel guilty for Googling every little thing.
Now I know: even pro developers constantly look things up.
Nobody—not me, not big-name devs, not even the creators of top games—knows everything.
Using resources like:
- Roblox Developer Documentation
- AI tools like ChatGPT
- Scripting communities and Discord servers
…is not a weakness. It’s how you get better—as long as you take the time to understand what you’re reading.
Step 4: Use AI as a Tool, Not a Crutch
AI is incredibly powerful. Use it to:
- Debug your scripts
- Suggest improvements
- Explain concepts you’re stuck on
But don’t just copy and paste what it gives you. Ask questions.
- Why did it write the code this way?
- What does this function do?
- Why use a loop here instead of a conditional?
The more you interrogate the code, the faster you’ll level up.
Step 5: Level Up With the Right Course
If you’re still reading, you’re serious about becoming a great scripter.
So here’s how to go faster: Join my course, Scripting Secrets.
It’s helped thousands of developers:
- Speed up their scripting process
- Go from beginner to advanced
- Build complete systems with confidence
It’s not magic—it still requires your effort. But if you’re willing to show up and apply the lessons, this is the shortcut you’ve been looking for.
Final Words: Just Start
You don’t need to know everything. You don’t need to build a full game today.
All you need to do is start—with one script, one button, one animation.
Take action on the advice above, and your skills will snowball faster than you think.
Let’s build something awesome together.
