Did I explain this code right?

[hasty wyvern]

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService") --gets userinput
local char = script.Parent --gets character
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid") --gets humanoid in character

local prevjump = tick() --Sets the prev jump time to the tick when prevjump is used
local IsDoubleJumping = false --The player has not double jumped

hum.StateChanged:Connect(function(oldState,newState) --If the humanoid changed its state then
if newState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed then --if the player has just landed then player can't double jump
IsDoubleJumping = false
elseif newState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping then --if the player has jumped then
prevjump = tick() --sets prevjump to this tick
end
end)
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input) --when a player presses a key
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then --if the keycode is space then
if tick() - prevjump <= 0.25 then --if the current time - prevjump time is less than or = to 0.25 meaning its been less than 0.25 seconds since hes jumped then
if hum:GetState() == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall and not IsDoubleJumping then --if the player is freefalling and he hasn't double jumped yet then
IsDoubleJumping = true --it sets doublejump to true meaning he just double jumped
hum:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping) --Changes the state of the humanoid to jumping again
end
end
end
end)

With the comments, did I explain it well? Also, is it just me? I think I am very stupid because when I try and make code myself its rlly bad and bugs a lot but when I check someone elses code and it looks great I understand it so well and I am like "Why didn't I think of that?" I wish I could combine everything I know into a non-buggy code and I started coding like 2 weeks ago, and I still can barely form code with CODE I ALREADY KNOW! is this normal for beginners? If not, how can I help this?

[untold kiln]

Changing the state of the humanoid will not make the players character jump again

[hasty wyvern]

?

[untold kiln]

pretty sure you need to use some sort of body velocity to make the player double jump

[hasty wyvern]

No it works

[coral prairie]

to make the player jump just set the humanoid.Jump value to true

[untold kiln]

fr?

[hasty wyvern]

ye

[untold kiln]

oh wow yeah it does

that cool

didnt know it did that

[hasty wyvern]

The script works, I just wanna know if I explained it well in the comments + the other question

[coral prairie]

wrap it in a lua code block

[hasty wyvern]

on why tf I can't do shit like this on my own when I know it

[hasty wyvern]

and when I look at other scripts im like "oh why didn't I think of that"

[untold kiln]

i mean u did it just fine

[hasty wyvern]

I followed a tutorial

I just wanna know if I explained it well

cause the tutorial showed me hum states and properties

then used them to make a double jump

[untold kiln]

I see

well what is your knowledge so far

what do you know

[hasty wyvern]

ok

[untold kiln]

bro i swear it aint that deep 💀

[hasty wyvern]

how did you make it colors?

[coral prairie]

can we stop

flooding

[untold kiln]

I did what you did, but after the ``` i put lua

bruh

[untold kiln]

fr lol

[hasty wyvern]

?

[untold kiln]

i dont think you should use tutorials for this stuff tho

[hasty wyvern]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSzs0ran6fE&list=PLQ1Qd31Hmi3WKkVHnadvhOOjz04AuMYAf&index=29

this is what I used

[untold kiln]

do u know the fundamentals of coding first off

like variables, functions

[hasty wyvern]

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService") --gets userinput
local char = script.Parent --gets character
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid") --gets humanoid in character

local prevjump = tick() --Sets the prev jump time to the tick when prevjump is used
local IsDoubleJumping = false --The player has not double jumped

hum.StateChanged:Connect(function(oldState,newState) --If the humanoid changed its state then
    if newState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed then --if the player has just landed then player can't double jump
        IsDoubleJumping = false
    elseif newState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping then --if the player has jumped then
        prevjump = tick() --sets prevjump to this tick 
    end
end)
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input) --when a player presses a key
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then --if the keycode is space then
        if tick() - prevjump <= 0.25 then --if the current time - prevjump time is less than or = to 0.25 meaning its been less than 0.25 seconds since hes jumped then
            if hum:GetState() == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall and not IsDoubleJumping then --if the player is freefalling and he hasn't double jumped yet then
                IsDoubleJumping = true --it sets doublejump to true meaning he just double jumped
                hum:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping) --Changes the state of the humanoid to jumping again
            end
        end
    end
end)

thx

[hasty wyvern]

yes

[frigid marten]

** You are now Level 9! **

[hasty wyvern]

yes

[coral prairie]

this doesn't make much sense but uh, whatever

[untold kiln]

dictionaries?

[coral prairie]

i guess its, well, explained, somewhat

[hasty wyvern]

kinda?

ask me some questions

[untold kiln]

uhh

how do i get the length of a table

[untold kiln]

i think he could improve more by not following tutorials

maybe like uh

try and code smhtn simple by urself

and if u need help u ask

[hasty wyvern]

for i,_ in pairs(table) do
print(i)

how many times it prints thats how many elements there are

[untold kiln]

cant u just do #table

[hasty wyvern]

whats that

[untold kiln]

but for dictionaries u cant

[untold kiln]

length

u can do #string

[hasty wyvern]

is that how many index there is in the table?

[untold kiln]

ya the length of the table

how many elements there are

[hasty wyvern]

kk

dictionaries are where u can store strings to values and all types of stuff

imma try and make one rq

lmk what u think

[untold kiln]

ok

btw im only joining this server to look back at the good ol days

so ill help u a bit more and im outta here

ask any questions you need answered

and u cant find a logical answer anywhere else

[hasty wyvern]

local Dictionary = {
One = 1,
Two = 2,
Three = 3
}

for i,v in pairs(Dictionary) do
print(i.." is "..v)
end

[hasty wyvern]

kk

[hasty wyvern]

did I do good?

made it print

16:49:34.705 One is 1 - Server - Table:8
16:49:34.705 Three is 3 - Server - Table:8
16:49:34.705 Two is 2 - Server - Table:8

Do you think I have a good understanding of dictionaries?

[untold kiln]

do yk why the dictionary is out of order

[untold kiln]

it went from one is 1 to three is 3

why?

[hasty wyvern]

it did bc it originally prints a random part of it when I tell it to when i iterate through it

[untold kiln]

k yea

well u seem like ur chillin

[hasty wyvern]

But idk how to make it print 1 2 and 3

[untold kiln]

i dontn either 🤡

i am a monkey

[hasty wyvern]

its ok

but

do you have the same issue I do/

?

[hasty wyvern]

here

local Dictionary = {
One = 1,
Two = 2,
Three = 3
}

local KeyOrder = {"One", "Two", "Three"}

for i,v in pairs(KeyOrder) do
print(Dictionary[v])
end

i did it with an array
