This page is a listing of tutorials that you can use to help you get used to the tools in Roblox. Most of these tutorials do '''not''' cover how to do specific things, they teach you how to use tools to simple things. You won't learn how to make a plane, but you will learn how to make a brick hover, how to make a brick turn, and how to use the Mouse to aim a brick. Use your imagination to build cool things with the simple tasks you learn here.

Roblox LuaRoblox Lua
Making your maps do crazy things

Lua (not "LUA") is a simple programming language that is used in Roblox to add in customized content, like cars that drive, weapons, planes, random terrain, and whole games, and much more!

This section provides tutorials to help users to learn Lua.

There are often multiple tutorials on the same subject, so if you don't understand something in one of them, try another!

If you still don't understand something, you can ask in the Roblox Client Search Discord server or the Novetus launcher Discord server. Note that you're more likely to get an answer if you ask a specific question, and that if you have a problem with a piece of code, posting the code (using multi-line formatting) really helps people to find what the problem is. Messages just asking "How do I script?" or "Make me this" are usually ignored.
