Roy 10,832 / 0 Report Post Posted July 24, 2020 I've moved this to the programming section Notepad++ is a decent editor. However, you may also want to look into using Visual Studio Code. I switched from NotePad++ to VS Code a few months ago and I personally like it a lot more. In regards to lua, are you looking to learn lua to develop addons/scripts for Garry's Mod?

Roy 10,832 / 0 Report Post Posted July 25, 2020 For glua (GMod lua to my understanding), I'd suggest starting here. If you want to get familiar with lua itself, I found this nice set of tutorials as well. In the first link, the "Developer Reference" section will be very useful for once you understand the lua syntax. With that said, I hope the game mode turns out well. If this is your first time messing with lua, I'd suggest starting off small such as making basic addons and scripts since making a game mode is a bigger task and may be overwhelming for beginners. I haven't messed with lua as much throughout the last few years. Therefore, other more experienced developers may have more pointers, etc. There used to be a lot of tutorials on FacePunch's forum. However, that was taken down some time ago without any official archives unfortunately. I hope the above helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
