This is a question that I’m sure every beginner scripter has asked themselves at one point. Who doesn’t want to know how long it’d take them to script their favorite games? Well, in this article, I’ll provide you with a general answer for how long it takes to learn Roblox scripting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hi! I’m Kushal. I’ve been scripting on Roblox since 2016<\/a> and I’ve been teaching scripting to millions of viewers<\/a> since 2016 as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Firstly, you’ll have to define your goal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When you ask “how long does it take to learn Roblox scripting?”, what do you specifically<\/strong> mean by “learn Roblox scripting?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n The words “learn Roblox scripting” are a bit too vague. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Perhaps you’re asking how long does it take to be able to script your own game? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, the new question would be: “how does it take to be able to script your own game?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, the problem with this question is that every game is different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, to learn enough to be able to script your own obby versus to learn enough to be able to script your own large scale RPG: scripting an obby is easy, while scripting a large scale RPG would be a lot harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or maybe your goal is entirely different than being able to script your own game. Maybe your goal is to be able to script features for others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then once again, the commission where you are scripting a FPS game for someone vs. where you’re scripting a simulator would require different sets of sub skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A full on FPS game might require you to know some higher level math, like trigonometry and perhaps calculus. It would also require you to know things like raycasting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But a simulator might require just an understanding of the basics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In other words, everything is subjective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So, let’s just say that your goal is to be able to script things without using many<\/em> tutorials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since “things” here is also subjective (what things?), let’s just trim this question down into 3 ranks of scripting, which I present below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rank I<\/strong> – Being able to script a few lines of code without tutorials (kill bricks, police light bars, changing colors forever, day\/night cycles, etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n To have a better understanding of what I’m referring to with rank 1, I mean the ability to understand and script simple things, like what I have referred to in the video below.<\/p>\n\n\n\nScripting Without Tutorials<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
