Okay, So, I'm going to be honest

I'm a lazy fat bastard with the goal to do something useful in my life Not that Playing GMod is something useful

I'd love to learn GLua, I've dug up a bit and so on and I've reached no where, I've seen people say that you must learn Lua first and others say Lua isnt really required but will make life easier when learning GLua and so on, and even if I do learn Lua In-which I dont know any source same goes for GLua, So if anyone would be kind enough to link me some documentation or so that is somewhat easy to comprehend and understand as I face difficulties understanding some things as I speak arabic for a first language, Thank you in advance.

Lua is GLua and GLua is Lua, there are minor differences you needn't worry about as a beginner. GLua is simply the functions that are specific to the game and some Garry syntax which is added on.

normal lua is p nice, glua is p autistic

Although using glua is easier to understand for most than normal lua, so I'd stick to making huds until u can do it w/o a tutorial then start moving on to advanced shit
