it's not hard, just learn basics stuff, like how to create an entity, how to communicate between the client and the server (net.addNetworkString or something like that) ect...
CODE Blue made some vids about how to create an addons

Thank you for reply

It's pretty simple actually, I remember spending a few nights studying available code like darkrp code or other addon's code and it all just started making sense.

I've recently gotten into lua coding for Gmod and after actually looking into it, it doesn't look as hard as it seems.

I believe lua is quite easy. I started coding with lua.

Lua strongly depends on what you want from it. The bigger your addon is the more complicated it gets. The difference is that if you write simple f4 menu then you don't put much effort, but when writing something like ULX you need some complex data transmission patterns and protection from exploiters, and that requires some books to be read. Im not coding by myself, but i gave this subject a little surface glance and that's what i came up with

Really depends on what you wanna work on. Wanna make a simple hud? Pretty easy! Wanna make some weird trading system revolving around players? Good luck!
