    Question Best way to learn LUA and the Coding for Gmod?

    I mean I have the gmod experience... I have more hours than most expert coders for the game (1108 Hours) But the game is loosing its amazing feeling now and I want to code some hacks! So, Can anyone give me some good sites to start reading and some good software to use to start? I know a bit of objective C but that is it. I heard LUA is really easy after you learn some of it.

    IDK.

    any replies will help!

    You could probably just study codes available already or read it from here.
    There are some coding there.

    I heard that ROBLOX uses LUA. You should play ROBLOX.

    I used the Gmod LUA Wiki, back when it was up (Not sure if it still is)
    that was extremely useful.
    If not, look at other peoples code, study it for a while and string together bits and pieces to create something you wanted along with the wiki for extra help, you'll learn in no time.

    Please don't pull assumtions out of your ass.
    You would have no idea how many hours a Lua coder would have because as you stated you aren't one.
    I have a total of 3642 hours in gmod.
    Kthx bai.

    I use this api reference. It is a bit outdated, though.

    Main Page - GMod Wiki

    --edit: IGNORE! I saw Antipathy posted it.

    The new wiki has a nice layout but the examples aren't very good and neither is the documentation. Although I prefer the new wiki, the old wiki has more content.
