i have seen people asking on how to make .lua scripts and people say "look at tutorials" which is not really helpful.
i think the best way to learn is to start with a pre-made script and editing it as you progress.

i made a simple .lua script for Beginners to use and edit and to be able to TAKE IT AND USE IT AS THEIR OWN.
I think helping the community is important for our growth and to have more people sharing scripts for free.


You may take this and say it is your own creation.

Nice addition to the community. I'm sure it'll help many people new to Lua.

You should actually leave custom libraries out of a template that explains lua.
People that have to read this template to be able to understand lua should actually learn it from scratch.
Pasting in custom-created functions is not a big deal.

i couldnt learn how to make a lua till i had a script and copied mine off it than when i got better i was able to make my own all because i learn by show not tell.
and i know that many people are like this

I doubt anyone will look into the library, search for the function and read through.

that is why i am going to get basic useful functions and add them so people can have them on their computer in a text document making it easier to script

Actually I think you should remove the dofile and just tell them that they can import functions from forgee.lua or any other custom library instead.
Im with Rydan on this subject.
