"Lua Noob Alert: Creating a Simple GMod Plugin from Scratch"

[1377]

Hey all, just started diving into GMod plugin dev using Lua and got stuck on setting up my first plugin from scratch. Anyone have a super simple example or a step-by-step guide to get me started? I've got GMod and Lua installed but no experience with creating plugins.

"Hey OP, your steps seem straightforward. Have you checked out the official GMod wiki for plugin development, it's a good resource for beginners. Also, Lua is pretty forgiving, but good practice to use a linter to catch any errors."

"Lol, just made a simple plugin using the 'plugin' template that comes with GMod. Works like a charm, just copy and paste the code into your resource folder and you're good to go. Has anyone else tried using Lua for GMod modding?"

"Dude, I'm trying to get into GMod plugin dev myself, just started playing around with the SDK. Have you checked out the official Garry's Mod wiki for tutorials? They seem pretty solid and have some good examples to get you started."
