gamecreator Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 For Lua, check this thread: http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/topic/10308-good-lua-tutorials/ Proper map making requires good assets and an eye for what does and doesn't work. You're probably better off searching on YouTube and Google for it. Also, YouGroove may have had a video or two in the Off Topic section that might help.

nick.ace Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Hi SilentBang! One thing about Lua script that is really beneficial is to look over the examples that come with the engine. I didn't know anything about Lua scripting until I looked at these scripts, and they should start to make sense as you play around with them a little. There are a lot of resources as well on the web since Lua scripting is popular among the modding community as well. Personally, I don't think you would need to buy a book, but if you want that's up to you. It also depends on how much experience you have with programming as well. Plus, the community here is very helpful! As for making better maps, that's sort of a vague topic. I'm sure there are level design tutorials online as well, but if you are looking to make realistic terrain or something, I would recommend using a heightmap generator.
