Scripting is a way to tell the computer what to do.  However, computers can only understand commands to do things if you tell them '''exactly''' what to do, in a specific code or language. ROBLOX  [[RBX.lua.Script (Object)|Scripts]] are commands in a coding language called [[Lua_Help|Lua]]. Lua is not-so-hard to understand, depending on the way you want to use it. Lua was made to be simple to read and easy to understand.
