How to code

[warped wagon]

I want to know how to code in Roblox can someone please help me, I have no robux to give but if I become good at coding I will be so happy

[verbal matrix]

I recommend watching a youtube tutorial series (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ1Qd31Hmi3W_CGDzYOp7enyHlOuO3MtC&si=sGON3fd4CLvlJjiD)
and recreating and testing the things shown in the video.

[warped wagon]

Okay I'll try it

[warped wagon]

This might sound stuiped, but I use studio lite and I can only code with one liners for some reason so is there a tutorial for one liner

[verbal matrix]

Well I never used studio lite so I don't know.

[warped wagon]

Do you know more about one liner code? All I know is you use " ; " to change between lines

[vestal helm]

** You are now Level 1! **

[verbal matrix]

I never wrote my code in just one line so not really. But I think that knowing how to change between lines is probably all to it.

[warped wagon]

Thank you I really want to make my dream game but I can't because the tutorials are just so boring

[verbal matrix]

Is it because the information is boring or how the information is presented

[warped wagon]

Basically it's just to much and it will take me a long time to watch

[verbal matrix]

Well everything takes its time and effort.

[warped wagon]

I know everything about how code works and stuff but I just don't know how Roblox does it (I am super good at coding on scratch)

I just don't know how Roblox changes and does scripts

[verbal matrix]

Well thats not half bad then. Knowing how code behaves generally will speed up how fast you learn.

[warped wagon]

Can you teach me how to code

[verbal matrix]

Im not a great teacher.

[warped wagon]

I know you can print stuff and use stuff like parent.something

Can you find me someone who can teach me

Wait a minute I need one more question that isn't about scripting but gui HOW DO I MAKE IT NOT CHANGE POSITONS ON MOBILE

[verbal matrix]

Well. I don't know any teachers in this community. I think most people learned how to code by just watching guides or reading the docs.

[verbal matrix]

What do you mean by not change positions

You mean like gui you created

or the studio lite gui

[verbal matrix]

cus I have no idea if it is about studio lite

[warped wagon]

I tried to recreate the touching code from a killbrick and it isn't working

(I'm trying to make it print after its touched) [the code: local function PlayerTouched(Part) then print("hello") ]

[verbal matrix]

This is the syntax for a function ```lua
local function FunctionName()

end

So in your case:
```lua
local function PlayerTouched(Part) print("hello") end

[warped wagon]

It doesn't work

[verbal matrix]

You need to run the function

[warped wagon]

How do I run the function

[verbal matrix]

call*

[warped wagon]

How do I call the function

[verbal matrix]

you can call the function by just typing its name and then ()

local function PlayerTouched(Part) print("hello") end; PlayerTouched()

[verbal matrix]

I was just correcting myself lol

[warped wagon]

Uh

[vestal helm]

** You are now Level 2! **

[warped wagon]

I don't get this

Uh

[verbal matrix]

So basicly

[warped wagon]

If I type that in it will work?

[verbal matrix]

If you type that it will just print hello once

[verbal matrix]

This is called defining a function

You just write what is going to happen once it is called

[warped wagon]

I'm touching it and nothing is happening

[verbal matrix]

This is called calling a function.
It is going to execute the code that you've written in the function

[warped wagon]

Dude it's not doing anything

[verbal matrix]

If you want something to happen once its touched you have to use an event

not just a function

[warped wagon]

But a function is what the killbrick uses

[verbal matrix]

Did you make a new part or import something?

[warped wagon]

Import

For killbrick I used toolbox

And for part I used "add part"

[verbal matrix]

Well I don't know how your importet killbrick works. I just know how to code one.

[warped wagon]

I wish there was something that could just tell me everything I can write and what it's for

[verbal matrix]

Roblox Documents is pretty much that

But for that you have to understand how to write code in general

[warped wagon]

It's easy you just write it

[verbal matrix]

But there is a strict syntax

[warped wagon]

The only thing I can script is printing

[verbal matrix]

Okay. does your killbrick contain a script?

[warped wagon]

Dude why wouldn't it

[verbal matrix]

Yeah just show me the script

[warped wagon]

K 1sec

This is the killbricks code

[verbal matrix]

So now you want to print hello if you touch the kill brick

[warped wagon]

Not the kill brick but my part

[verbal matrix]

Okay. You first have to reference your part in your code inside a variable.

[warped wagon]

How do people make games I can't even do this

[verbal matrix]

This is what you could call a reference

[verbal matrix]

You haven't given it enough time yet

Can you sent me a screenshot of your explorer?

[warped wagon]

Bruh

[verbal matrix]

?

[warped wagon]

It's just the normal stuff and "killbrick" and "Part"

[verbal matrix]

What are you referring to

[warped wagon]

What?

Why does Lua need to be so hard

PEOPLE SAY ITS THE EASIEST

This is way to hard

[vestal helm]

** You are now Level 3! **

[verbal matrix]

It is one of the easiest languages. Maybe python is easier but still. You shouldn't just call something hard because you didn't understand it in one day

Try watching the tutorials.

I think they will still help you despite you being on studio lite

[barren badger]

dis lil wigga will have a heart attack where he hears about claude code

[rancid tangle]

LMAO

do you know what local means?

[vestal helm]

** You are now Level 10! **

[rancid tangle]

local means that whatever being referenced is only referenced in that specific script/function

for example:

local red = 1

if you tried to use the "red" variable in another script it would not work, since it is local to that script
