04 Roblox Lua Notes

All variables are global unless using local

Keywords & Such

• There is no ++ or --, same with && or ||. Instead its and, or, not. Also these work: +=, -=, <=, >=, ==

function = keyword used to create a function.

return = can be used to exit a function or go back into the function it was called in(hard to explain but the writer understands).

if then, else, & else if statements = Its obvious isn't it.🫩

task.wait() = pauses the script for a certain amount of time.

break = stops loops when conditions are met.

continue = skips that iteration of the loop.

:Connect = connects events to scripts.

debounce = not a keyword, but a method to check whether something is being touched or not.

For

For MyLoop = 1, 5, 1 do

print("The first number is the starting number")
print("The second is the goal")
print("The last is the increment the first number adds(or substracts)")

end

While

 local CoolNumber = 1
 
 While CoolNumber <= 10 do
 
 print("Remember to increment the variable you choose.")
 print("If you don't, it will never end.")
 CoolNumber += 1
 
 end

Function

 local function MyFunction(Number1, Number2)

local result = Number1 + Number2
print(result)

return result

 end
 
 print(MyFunction(5, 6))
 print("You can insert variables in the () to use in the function.")
 print("also you must have return in the function")
