I prefer the Love2D framework for making anything in Lua, as it allows you to make things other than just Roblox games. https://love2d.org/

For Roblox, Lua is a pretty good language for what Roblox wants to achieve and it's impressive what some people make. I'm not very good with Lua, and although I've attempted to make stuff on Roblox, it's not any good.

function love.draw()
love.graphics.print("Hello World!", 400, 300)
end

function love.load()
whale = love.graphics.newImage("whale.png")
end
function love.draw()
love.graphics.draw(whale, 300, 200)
end

function love.load()
sound = love.audio.newSource("music.ogg", "stream")
love.audio.play(sound)
end

That's what happens if you play Minecraft too much.

I transferred that Lua knowledge to Roblox, and made some really nice sliding doors out of it, however I left because of the complexity: I mean, you need five lines of code just to make a kill block?

As for Roblox, I never got into Roblox scripting because I felt that it was going to be really complicated (I probably just haven't spent enough time learning about Lua scripting), and the app was pretty unstable on my computer.

no its made with c++ lua is just for scripting the game

yes you can import obj files idk why anyone would use dae

The reason I like .dae is because it's wide supported. Plus, Collada is a nice name. Also, it's pretty much ingrained in me, I'd find it difficult to swap my default.

I guess your favorite file formats for the same thing is a highly subjective topic.

obj is definitely more supported than collada since its existed since the 1980s iirc, collada was made in 2004

i have >2000 obj files on my computer and <500 dae files

I did learn a bit of Lua when I was younger, because the game The Battle For Wesnoth allowed you to create User Made Content partially using Lua.

I guess we have something in common. Plus, I also didn't like the limitations of exporting (Roblox only). Honestly, I'd rather make my own game than build on another game.

Does Roblox allow you to import external 3D models like .dae? Up until now, I've been assuming that you had to do all your 3D modeling within Roblox.

What's nice about Roblox, though, is that it gives you a framework to build upon, unlike most other stuff in which you have to build the framework yourself. Useful, but also limiting.

Anyways, I saw some scripts of Unity and I did not understand any of it. For the ones who think Lua is complicating, check out Unity… It seems so hard… D:

If you want proof, look here: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=unity+tutorial

using System;
namespace ResExsention
{
    class Res
    {
        static void Main()

They are two files types that can store 3D models. Essentially, when you create a 3D model, you can export it as a .dae or .obj or another format.

Also, you can use code tags, just use [code=lua] and [/code]

Oh, that still looks more complex. What is that script supposed to do, actually? In Python if I have to make an output pop on the screen it is like this:

print("Hi, I am Nambaseking01. I do not have the Python software but I know the little basics. I am a noob.")

Right?

That is not a syntax error. When you end off a function in Lua you need to have a bracket at the end. I am talking from 2 months experience.
