Where to learn lua fast?

Where is the way to learn lua fast, or effectively, i need the knowledge for something like a srb2 mod.

look at lua stuffs other people made then try to find out whats fausing certain actions to happen and how

id recommend looking at the stuff people made specifically for learning lua, like claire's lua thok example, or that open character assets mod made by sp moves enjoyer (if im not mistaken that does have code commentary)

What Chipjam said is actually pretty good, but I should also mention there's no real way to learn LUA "fast".
It takes a lot of time in order to learn how to write optimized code.

Where is the way to learn lua fast

The only way to "learn lua fast" is if you already have knowledge of programming in general in such a way that you can apply the same logic from one language to another. Programming languages, like Lua here, tend to use english words for most logical operations - like flow control, loops, variable definition, among others - which makes learning a new language through applying what you already know from another language pretty straightforward.

If you don't have that experience already, there is no "fast" way available to you. You have to do it the normal way that everyone had to go through: Learning it normally.
SRB2 is going nowhere and this isn't a race. Take your time, don't rush.

There are plenty of Lua resources out there, some good, some bad, but you won't learn anything if you don't just get to it and experiment!
Seriously. There are a lot of resources. Pick one and try it out. If it doesn't work out for you, try another.
It works better if you have some place to play around with the language. If you're experimenting with vanilla Lua, you can try one of the many online Lua interpreters out there. lua.org offers a few.

i learned gdscript fast, so, i think what theres also a way to learn lua fast (i talk about 1 week)

It usually takes heavy diligence to learn a language *from no experience whatsoever* within a week.
Unless you're super motivated to learn it that you can completely block out distractions, that time goal sounds a bit unrealistic.

i like to compare the code to the drawing, you are never going to learn it 100%, you can always improve, but, in 1 week you can learn the basics, like character movement or custom gimmicks... and yeah, i was in vacations alone with no distractions and very motivated lol
