Introduction
Welcome to the Roblox Lua Beginner Guide. In this guide, you will learn the basics of Lua
programming and how to use it in Roblox Studio.
What is Lua?
Lua is a lightweight scripting language widely used in game development. Roblox uses a version of
Lua called Luau.
Getting Started with Roblox Studio
1. Download Roblox Studio from https://create.roblox.com
2. Create a new baseplate
3. Enable Explorer and Properties windows
Hello World in Roblox
Insert a Script into a Part and write:
print('Hello, Roblox!')
Variables
Variables store data. Example:
local name = 'Player'
local health = 100
Functions
Functions are reusable blocks of code. Example:
function greet()
print('Hello!')
end
greet()
Events
Events trigger when something happens. Example:
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
print('Part touched!')
end)
Making a Kill Block
Example:
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid')
if humanoid then
humanoid.Health = 0
end
end)
Leaderstats (Score System)
Create a Script in ServerScriptService:
local function onPlayerAdded(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new('Folder')
leaderstats.Name = 'leaderstats'
leaderstats.Parent = player
local points = Instance.new('IntValue')
points.Name = 'Points'
points.Value = 0
points.Parent = leaderstats
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)
Remote Events
RemoteEvents allow communication between client and server. Useful for GUIs and attacks.
Next Steps
Learn OOP, DataStores, RemoteEvents, GUIs, and advanced systems like combat or inventory.
