Learning glua, need some help.
I have been toying around with glua for a month or two, I have thrown away more projects than I have kept but I finally decided that I would try and actually make a functional addon that wasn't just for learning. I don't think i have any intention to upload this particular addon to the gmodstore but I'm still following the guidelines as good practice.
The point of this post is to ask if anyone would be willing to look over my code and possibly point me in the right direction, I'm eager to learn the language and find the most efficient way to do things but I cant know for sure that I am doing that without a second pair of eyes.
Thank you for reading this, have a great day/night.

Yes mate i can help you. My discord is beerie
Sure, my Discord is bacononfire, feel free to send me snippets of your code. Also, I strongly recommend having in your hand the gmod wiki as you will find documentation and lots of useful examples. Another good resource is the serie of videos Code Blue and DanFMN made on that topic.
For my part, I started with Lua by following the openly available Harvard's CS50G course. When I took it, I already knew some programming from what I'd learned in school. From there, I started writing some scripts with the language. While studying at university, although I did not have a specifically subject on Lua, I learnt other skills that would help me, like pointers. Eventually, I read most of the Programming in Lua book, which I also really recommend. This marked a significant turning point for me because from there I was able to start writing more substantial programs with the language and follow tutorials for more advanced projects, such as the gamemode creation tutorial offered by CodeBlue.
