The in-game help on most API's is kind of useless. Can anybody explain what the functions do and proper arguments to give them?

Thanks for the link, I've already bookmarked it. May still need help with specific functions in certain API's but I'll get to that when I get to that.

If I may humbly recommend, the in-game "most things" are pretty bad. You should code outside of game, using outside resources, and just use in-game to test, imho.

The Lua Reference manual is also a great resource when looking up how certain functions work, http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/
Not all functions listed on that site are available in CC.
