mghtyred Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 So, like some of you I'm sure, I'm excited to see what can be done with LUA in game. In order to prepare for that, and get a bit of a head start, anyone recommend some good LUA tutorials, online lessons, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haunty Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 codecombat.com has some Lua stuff. It starts out super basic, I'm not sure how advanced it gets later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollymawk Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) If you have done any scripting at all in the past you can get lua basics in an hour using google . I found this most useful: https://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html The tricky part will be using the api, documentation will be the key or the killer depending how bad it goes, i'm expecting that not to be priority for some time. I've not touched C in 25 years, but am finding playing with c# in space engineers very satisfying, I'm quite thick but even I have managed to do some nice things. this is a nice bit of fun too https://codecombat.com/play/dungeon Also World of warcraft uses lau and I made a few addons for myself years ago. WOW is free to play these days and google "lua wow addon tutorial" brings up a few option, Edited October 13, 2017 by Mollymawk spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Face Of Boe Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 If you have a history of working with programming languages and you're some what comfortable with them. Picking up Lua will be a peace of cake. The first time I used Lua was for the Minecraft mod Computer Craft. I learned Lua super quick by looking at this site https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/lua/. It took me 15 minutes to understand it, then within a hour I had built a functioning mining bot in Computer Craft. Sadly until we know the the DU Lua API is going to look like, it's hard to prepare. Speaking of that, is there any released details about what the Lua API is going to look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have taken intro couse to C so I know the basics. If anybody needs to learn from scratch I think this website would be good but they do not support LUA, as in support staff, so if you have any problems you have to post in forums and hope someone can help you.
