FiveM Resource Development & Modding Discussion

If I would need to learn lua gain to gain the basics how long would that add u rekon

4

i think its less then that depending on how quick you learn, if you can understand the concepts its pretty easy imo. The hard part is learning the fivem api like peter said. I would recommend just reading over resources and seeing how they work.

5

Where is the FiveM documentation on it all because I saw the lua docs but it looked very very small so I’m a lil confused honestly

6

here is the natives
https://runtime.fivem.net/doc/natives/

docs here
https://docs.fivem.net/docs/

7

Thanks where do you rekon I should learn lua and all the fundamentals? I once did but idk

8

honestly man i just learned by looking, i never learned by following a tutorial or anything i just jumped in and tried it. FAR from the best way to do it. but thats how i learn.

9

What da hell lol, I really understand lua sorta not args tho I wanna understand it all then learn the fivem api Idk where to start I don’t wanna hop in randomly as I said

10

https://www.lua.org/start.html

could try that.

Its just learn the basics then i would jump in and apply it.

11

Thanks, how long have you been learning lua for?

12

In addition [Release] FiveM Natives - Snippets/Completions for Sublime Text, VS Code, Atom, & Notepad++

What do you suggest is the best coding ide?
Sublime, Visual Studios imo I’ve used those before

13

been coding for quite awhile now, 3 years on fivem. Once you learn how stuff comes together you can translate it to pretty much any language. By far the first is the hardest.

14

Damn so you understand that boy, you workin right now or looking for any work? Lol I need a coder and answer that previous question pls

15

I use visual studio code personally. nah aint really doing anything for fivem anymore just hanging around the community more or less.

16

Alr well thanks

17

when i was teaching my friends i put together this docs for them. If you wanna give it a look here you go
part 1:

part 2:

18

far from finished but good start i think.

19

if you know basic programming syntaxes (dunno if theyre called that way), for example if, while, for, instancing and stuff you should be learning lua in no time

20

and what would be the next or some kind of roadmap ?, or what do you do after it

21

after the fivem basics? i would say try implementing it, its far from finished.

22

i just can help you with the advice to use this , it will help you a lot
