Scripting in Roblox

Scripting allows advanced users of Roblox Studio to add interactive components to their maps. If you have ever played a BrickBattle map, then you have seen these scripts in action. In BrickBattle maps, scripts are used to program all of the weapons, the leaderboard, the random player spawning and the team beacons. Roblox embeds the Lua language for scripting. Lua is easy to learn and even those without previous programming experience can probably make some cool things with it. That being said, the task of learning how scripting in Roblox works is best approached with a playful hacker mentality. It requires persistence to become good at it. You won't be able to build a hovercraft with auto-firing rocket launchers right off the bat.

Warning: The scripting language in Roblox is in Super Alpha release. Anything and everything may change between Roblox releases. Do not expect it to be flawless.
